Hyperpigmentation Treatment Protocol

Treating hyperpigmentation requires a systematic, multi-phase approach. This protocol combines inhibition of melanin production, acceleration of pigmented cell turnover, and strict sun protection for lasting results.

The Three-Phase Approach

Phase 1 (Inhibit): Suppress active melanin production using vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and azelaic acid. Phase 2 (Exfoliate): Remove pigmented cells through chemical peels and retinol. Phase 3 (Protect): Prevent rebound with daily SPF 50 and continued maintenance.

Treatment Protocol

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): Home care with vitamin C AM, tranexamic acid PM. Phase 2 (Weeks 4-12): Monthly glycolic acid peels + retinol introduction at home. Phase 3 (Ongoing): Maintenance with vitamin C, retinol, SPF 50. Professional mesotherapy with depigmenting cocktails accelerates results in resistant cases.
