Note from the Doctor:

Pigmented lesions especially on the face can be a challenge both for the client and the cosmetic practitioner. The main types of pigmented lesions are melasma (very common in skin type 4-6 or darker skin types) and pigmented lesions related to sun-damage. The demographics of this condition crosses all skin types, thus it does impose a significant cosmetic challenge.

In the past the treatments of these lesions were limited to bleaching agents and deep peels that can result in worsening of the pigmentation or scarring over the treatment area.

. The biochemistry of melasma suggests that there is a genetic predisposition that becomes more apparent under certain environmental or hormonal stimulus to activate the pigment-producing cells. The pigment producing cells, or melanocytes, have been studied and with the current biochemical knowledge a new topical treatment was developed to block and prevent the production of pigment melanin. Thus, reducing, and ultimately leading to the elimination of the melasmic pigments.

Quite often chemical peels are combined with Laser Genesis, Photo Facials or AFFIRM treatments.
