Microneedling is an effective way to fade hyperpigmentation caused by a wide variety of skin concerns.

Hyperpigmentation is an official term for excess melanin production that causes patches of skin to darken, creating an uneven complexion. A number of factors can cause it, from excessive sun exposure to inflammation to skin injuries like acne. The good news is that it is possible to reduce hyperpigmentation with the right treatment regimen. Here at Lily Handt health + beauty, we offer expert services designed to help you feel confident in your skin, including services such as microneedling that can help you combat hyperpigmentation.

One of the difficult parts of reversing hyperpigmentation is the fact that so many different things can trigger it. Fortunately, microneedling is effective on multiple fronts, so no matter what caused your hyperpigmentation, the odds are high that this treatment will help effectively reduce or even fully erase your dark or discolored skin patches. Here is a closer look at how microneedling can help improve hyperpigmentation:

• Promoting Skin Cell Turnover: Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the natural healing process. New skin cells are produced, which encourages the old, pigmented cells to shed and leads to a gradual restoration of an even skin tone.

• Increased Collagen & Elastin Production: Another benefit of microneedling is that the process triggers your body to produce more collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help improve skin texture and firmness, making it less prone to developing an uneven tone in the future.

• Reduced Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): PIH is a common type of hyperpigmentation that people often experience after acne, injury, or inflammation. The controlled injury caused by microneedling speeds the healing process and helps break up melanin clusters.

• Increased Absorption of Pigment-Reducing Topicals: Many of our guests use microneedling with a topical skincare routine that contains brightening agents, which can penetrate deeper into the skin following a microneedling treatment.

One of the challenges of treating hyperpigmentation is that many of the more aggressive treatments can make the discoloration worse, especially for those who have a naturally darker skin tone. Microneedling is a less irritating option that can renew the skin without triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Our team would be happy to consult with you and determine if microneedling or any of the other treatments we offer would be an effective strategy for reducing your hyperpigmentation. We serve guests throughout Winston-Salem, North Carolina, so call today to schedule a consultation.
