Skin Lightening - Hyper-Pigmentation

Hyper-Pigmentation

Melanin (the pigment responsible for giving skin its colour), is part of the skin barrier defence system in that it protects against Ultra Violet Radiation, and pigmented blemishes are almost always the result of excessive stimulation by sunlight. The pigmentation should be a warning sign from the body that the affected area has received too much sun damage. Unfortunately this warning sign comes too late.

With an unwavering dedication to superior skin care treatments and constant evaluation of product performance, DermaFix skin lightening techniques correct and prevent the appearance of uneven skin tone and hyper-pigmentation, chloasma, scarring and sun spots.

Both UVA and UVB rays in excess are detrimental to the skin causing photo-ageing. The rays damage the membranes within the skin's cells, called lyposomes, which contain enzymes. The skin's ability to hold moisture in its outer layer is cumulative and irreversible from excessive exposure which can lead to cancer and severe photo damage. Correct preparation will ensure better skin lightening results.

The enzyme tyrosinase plays a key role in the formation of the melanin pigment. Our skin lightening correctives contain actives which reduce tyrosinase activity and prevent the abnormal deposition of melanin. DermaFix skin lightening correctives include Brightening Cleanser, Brightening Toner, MelanoDerm and Brightening Night with Tranexamic Acid.

Hyper-pigmentation may also occur after trauma or inflammation. Pregnancy or hormone therapy stimulates the melanocytes and leads to chloasma or pregnancy mask.

DermaFix Skin lightening correctives are nappi coded and contain suitable actives to target already existing hyper-pigmentation as well as prevent the formation thereof. DermaFix skin lightening techniques may also include professional treatment protocol such a chemical peeling, rapid exfoliation and microneedle therapy. DermaFix skin lightening correction requires the use of broad spectrum DermaShield SPF 45 with zinc oxide to protect the skin from further damage caused by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

DermaFix Cosmeceutical Skincare focuses on treating all forms of hyper-pigmentation both topically and internally.
