Pigmentation

There are several ways to address pigmentation issues. When you come to one of our Hummingbird locations, our knowledgeable medical estheticians will review your issues and help to guide you in your treatment decision path. 

Advanced Microdermabrasion with glycolic peels:  Microdermabrasion is a gentle process of precision skin polishing. This treatment uses very refined crystals to buff off the old dead skin cells. A glycolic acid peeling follows the microdermabrasion and oxygen is applied to the skin for dramatic skin renewal. The oxygen component of this treatment is coupled with a misted serum of skin nourishing amino acids and vitamin E.  Your quality skin care products and pharmaceutical grade skin lighteners penetrate the renewed tissue with greater ease for more dramatic pigment reduction.

IPL:  Intense pulsed light treatments are our most advanced anti-pigment care. In this gentle series of treatments heat is transferred to the undesired pigment cells to cause their ultimate demise. This treatment effectively and dramatically reduces the sun induced pigment. Benefits with this treatment include a reduction in undesired blood vessels, and occasionally, improvements in tone, texture and fine lines. A series of 6 treatments is recommended.

IPL with Levulan: This is the most advanced form of IPL treatments. In this treatment regimen, a brief microdermabrasion treatment is performed, followed by the application of Levulan.  Levulan is a light sensitizing medication. We intentionally use this type of medication with the lights to enhance the penetration of the light into the tissue for the most rapid and dramatic of results. A series of 3 IPL + Levulan treatments are often recommended.
