What Causes an Uneven Skin Tone?
Multiple factors may contribute to the development of an uneven skin tone, such as:
Aging
As we age, our skin’s ability to repair and renew itself declines. Combined with the cumulative effects of environmental damage, this leads to pigmentation issues that become more noticeable with time, especially in sun-exposed areas.
Sun Damage
Harmful UV rays from the sun are a primary cause of dark spots and pigmentation issues, as they stimulate the overproduction of melanin. This extra melanin is what makes the skin tan after sun exposure, but sometimes it isn’t distributed evenly, leading to freckles, discoloration and blotchiness.
Inflammation
Certain irritants and skin injuries can cause post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH), which appears as dark, brown or tan patches of discoloration in affected areas. Common culprits for triggering PIH include infections, acne, eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions and anything else that causes inflammation in the skin.
Hormonal changes
Fluctuations in hormones, particularly during pregnancy or while taking certain contraceptives, can trigger the development of melasma. These hormonal shifts can increase melanin production, resulting in irregular patches of discoloration.
Understanding the underlying cause of an uneven skin tone is the first step toward correcting it. At VITAHL, our experts use a comprehensive approach to address these issues with effective skin care treatments that meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Acne & Acne Scarring Treatment Options
We offer a range of treatments that can be customized to address your concerns while taking into account your individual skin sensitivities and preferences. Our goal is to provide effective acne and scarring solutions that are well-tolerated and deliver the best possible outcomes for every patient.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production and skin renewal. By creating micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling triggers a healing process that reduces the appearance of acne scars, minimizes pigmentation and improves overall skin texture.
Clients can expect a gradual improvement in their skin's texture and tone with minimal downtime. The SkinPen is suitable for various skin types and the treatment can be tailored according to your needs.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves puncturing the outer layer of skin with tiny needles to increase collagen and elastin production. This not only helps in reducing the appearance of pigmentation but also enhances skin tone and texture.
At VITAHL, we offer two advanced microneedling treatment options: SkinPen microneedling and RF microneedling with SecretRF. SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that provides safe, consistent results with minimal downtime. SecretRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology to target the deeper layers of the skin, delivering controlled energy at various depths to further enhance collagen production and remodeling.
BBL® Hero™
Broadband Light (BBL) therapy uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to gently heat the top layers of your skin, stimulating regenerative processes and the production of new collagen. It also targets and eliminates several pigmentation issues, including tan, brown and red spots. As new collagen forms and the natural healing process begins, you’ll see a noticeably clearer, smoother and healthier-looking complexion with fewer imperfections.
Moxi®
Moxi provides a gentle yet effective approach to rejuvenating the skin with minimal downtime. It is an advanced fractionated 1927 nm wavelength device that comfortably delivers non-ablative laser energy into the skin to correct the early signs of sun damage and discoloration. Unlike other laser treatments, Moxi is safe and effective for all skin tones. With multiple treatments, this device can effectively treat numerous pigmentation concerns.
Moxi + BBL
Moxi and BBL are fantastic devices that work well on their own, but together, they are a force to be reckoned with. This popular treatment combination tackles numerous concerns at once, delivering noticeable improvements in pigmentation, redness, skin quality and more in a shorter period of time. Talk to your provider about Moxi and BBL and how they can help you achieve a healthy, glowing complexion with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to address depressed acne scars by strategically filling in and smoothing out the indentations, creating a more even skin surface. Patients are often amazed at the instant change in the appearance of their acne scars after this treatment.
Most fillers last six to 18 months, depending on which product is used. Biostimulators can last up to two years. Both types of injectable can be combined with other acne treatments for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
