Skin Pigmentation Issues in Beverly Hills

Skin discoloration and pigmentation problems are common issues for those who have considerable exposure to sunlight or blemishes. The predilection of this discoloration can also oftentimes be attributed in part to genetics and hormones. Discoloration can cover small spots and freckles or affect large patches of skin. Hyperpigmentation most often affects sun-exposed areas, such as the limbs, neck and face.

Melasma and Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Beverly Hills-based Dr. Zein Obagi begins his treatments for these issues by evaluating clients to check for potential skin cancer and pre-cancerous lesions, and focuses on treatments that repair damaged skin by renewing skin cells and repairing damaged DNA.

Melasma is a specific type of pigmentation that occurs in women and some men. This type of discoloration, though treatable, may be recurrent. Melasma may be superficial or deep in the epidermis, requiring more intense treatments such as the Obagi Blue Peel® or fraxel laser treatments. Melasma treatment in Beverly Hills at the Obagi Skin Health Institute repairs damaged skin layers and brings new, healthy, vibrant and younger looking new skin to the surface.

Beverly Hills is home to some of the best rays in the nation. With palm-lined streets and pristine beaches not far away, sun damaged skin is a common condition. Sun damage can present itself as red, scaly lesions, wrinkles, discoloration, dullness, and dryness. Dr. Zein Obagi’s specialized treatment plans can assist in treating mild sun damage without experiencing the irritation common to conventional sun damage treatments. Dr. Obagi uses skin repair formulas that include non-prescription programs in addition to products containing some of the highest doses on the market of effective ingredients. Treatments with Retin-A and hydroquinone in Beverly Hills’ Obagi Skin Health Institute successfully lighten stubborn hyperpigmentation.
