What are ways to correct uneven skin tone? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Before we dive into the different type of treatments, it is important to know the underlying cause of uneven pigmentation and skin texture. It occurs for a number of reasons such as:

  • lifestyle choices,
  • hormonal change,
  • sunspots,
  • etc.

Once you determine the cause, we can then suggest a couple of treatment options. Broadly speaking, there are 2 main types/ways to tackle uneven skin tone.

Firstly, there is photo-rejuvenation. That would mean that the treatment will be using lasers. These machines include q-switch, pico laser and many more. They are designed to rejuvenate the skin.

Another option would be using skincare products. This includes products that contain ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin and hyaluronic acid to deal with symptoms of hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C serums are a recognized form of an option to help with dark points and hyperpigmentation.
