What is pigmentation correction?

Pigmentation correction addresses skin tone issues caused by inconsistent melanin production. These include dark spots (hyperpigmentation) or areas where the skin has lost color (hypopigmentation). Dr. Ramos can help with issues such as:

• Melasma
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Sun spots
• Unwanted freckles
• Age spots
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scars

Healthy skin starts from the inside out, and Dr. Ramos can help you regain your glow.

What causes pigmentation issues?

Excessive sun exposure causes the skin to darken, and the resulting damage can cause a persistent uneven skin tone. Acne, genetics, or injury can also contribute to uneven skin tone.

For women, fluctuating hormones are a common culprit, whether from contraceptives or pregnancy.

What skin issues does pigmentation correction address?

Pigmentation correction with Dr. Ramos offers a wide range of benefits. Talk to her if your goals include:

• Treating sun damage and pigmentation
• Correction for dark spots or age spots
• Improved skin tone and texture
• A brighter and more even complexion

Whether you want to correct troublesome issues or put your best and brightest face forward, Dr. Ramos can help you find a solution.

What can I expect from pigmentation correction?

In addition to microneedling and other skin revitalization services, Dr. Ramos is proud to offer LaseMD Ultra (commonly called Lutronic® Ultra), which is safe for all skin types. This laser pigmentation treatment resurfaces the treatment area to reveal brighter and more even skin.

It utilizes a non-ablative fractional laser to make tiny microwounds below your skin’s surface. This boosts healing and collagen in the area and promotes skin improvements that last, and Dr. Ramos ensures you’re comfortable throughout the treatment with a topical anesthetic. 

Even better, LaseMD Ultra goes well with other beauty-boosting treatments, since it allows for deeper penetration of serums and moisturizers. 

Another benefit is its versatility, since it can be used on all the areas that see the most sun, including your: 

• Arms 
• Chest 
• Face 
• Neck 
• Hands

No matter what trouble areas you want to address, Dr. Ramos can help you achieve your goals with a personalized care plan. 

Most people experience ideal improvement with at least 2-3 initial treatments, and you may want to schedule follow-ups every 6-12 months when you see your results.

If you’re self-conscious about uneven skin tone and want a beautiful and glowing complexion, Dr. Susanne Ramos can help. Get started by calling the office or requesting an appointment online today.
