Melanin is the natural pigment present in our hair, skin and eye which lends them colour. It can also show up on your face in the form of freckles, age spots, brown or beige marks, or even a confluence of patches of dark colours on the skin, a condition known as hyperpigmentation. “As Indians living in the tropics, one of the main skin concerns we face is pigmentation and tanning.

What causes hyperpigmentation?

There are various causes of hyperpigmentation: sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, trauma, heat, genetics and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (think acne or chickenpox scars).

Peels

Pigmentation affects the health of the skin as it progresses from dark spots to dark patches. It may also grow stubborn and withstand home remedies. In such cases, our patients need stronger chemical peels to fight hyperpigmentation. At Yuva Aesthetics, Patiala we have the internationally acclaimed Melanostop Peel. This peel is trusted and used by cosmetologists and dermatologists worldwide. We have many other peel options too tackle various pigmentary disorders.

Melanostop Peel is a combination peel used to treat difficult epidermal pigmentation and consists of Azelaic acid, Resorcinol and Phytic acid. This combination of chemical exfoliants stops the formation of abnormal melanin pigmentations. It further breaks the cohesion of the corneal layer of keratinocytes.
