Following the recent rise in temperature, The Harley Medical Group’s Leicester clinic has reported a rise in Asian patients booking in for treatments to combat pigmentation, caused by sun exposure.
Pigmentation occurs when the body produces too much or too little melanin [http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/conditions/skin-pigmentation-problems/]. Research shows that pigmentation will increase significantly – particularly in Asian skin (Asian skin contains increased amounts of melanin, making it more susceptible to pigmentation [http://www.pigmentationcentre.co.uk/asian-skin-pigmentation.html]) – following UV exposure due to increased amount of melanin in the skin, which becomes damaged or unhealthy from the sun.
Naseem Akhtar at The Harley Medical Group, says: “Pigmentation is caused by a variety of factors, including pregnancy hormones, but it is especially triggered by the sun’s UV. Although pigmentation is difficult to avoid despite wearing sun creams, it can be effectively treated.
The most effective treatments for pigmentation on Asian skin types at The Harley Medical Group are the Agera Skin Peel and the Obaji Blue Peel in conjunction with the Nuderm Product system. These applied treatments in comparison to laser methods are advised as a better option for Asian women who often suffer from pigmentation as a result of hormonal changes.
The Citric, Lactic, Salicylic and Ascorbic acid in Agera Peels work in tandem to lift darker, pigmented areas of the skin. Alternatively, Obaji Nuderm products should be used to prep the skin to a healthy state, prior to moving on to the intensive Blue Peel. Obaji Blue Peel removes surface layers of aged and damaged skin, replacing them with healthier ones, allowing the skin’s natural own clarity and tightness to resurface.
At home skincare options include The Harley Medical Group’s Anti-Ageing Youth Serum and the Advanced Lightening Cream. The Anti-Ageing Youth serum contains Daisy Extract, which provides a skin lightening effect, making it an effective treatment for pigmentation. Similarly, the Advanced Lightening Cream contains Mulberry extract, which helps to brighten skin tone and reduces age spots and melanin production. Both the serum and the cream can be used to help enhance non-surgical treatments, or can be used by themselves.”
