Which procedure is used to treat hyperpigmentation?

Chemical peels are a highly effective treatment for hyperpigmentation because they work by exfoliating the upper layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells and encouraging the turnover of new skin. This process helps to lighten dark spots and uneven skin tone associated with hyperpigmentation. Different types of chemical peels can be tailored to the severity of the pigmentation and skin type, enabling deeper penetration to address the root causes of pigmentation, such as sun damage or hormonal changes.

In contrast, microdermabrasion is a physical exfoliation method that can help improve overall skin texture but may not penetrate deeply enough to significantly affect pigment irregularities. Facial massage offers relaxation and improves circulation but lacks efficacy in specifically addressing pigmentation issues. Extractions focus on clearing clogged pores, which does not contribute to treating hyperpigmentation. Each treatment has its own purpose, but chemical peels remain the most suited procedure for effectively addressing hyperpigmentation.
