From hormones, age, and stress to diet, weather, and allergies, there are many factors that can affect skin tone. The good news is that there is a range of safe, effective dermatologist-approved products and treatments that can help improve skin tone and texture and make skin healthier and more vibrant.
The skin is the body’s largest organ made up of three layers of tissue – the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. It has a number of important functions, such as providing a protective barrier against germs and bacteria, regulating body temperature, cushioning muscles and bones, and enabling touch and temperature sensations.
The skin can look dull and lose tone, texture, and volume with age and other factors, such as poor diet, dehydration, stress, and certain medications. It can also be vulnerable to disorders and problems such as acne, rosacea, wrinkles, rashes, vitiligo, lesions, and cancer, which can damage the skin or affect the overall appearance of the skin.
Dermatologists are medical doctors who specialize in conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. They have the expertise, experience, and unique skills to offer the best care for your skin, whatever the problem. They offer a range of safe, effective medical and cosmetic treatments that can help with a variety of issues, including improving skin tone and brightening a dull complexion.
Skin Tone Treatments
If you have a skin condition, such as acne, rosacea, or vitiligo, or are just looking to brighten your skin and improve skin tone, a dermatologist can help find a treatment that is right for your needs.
At your initial consultation, your dermatologist will carry out a thorough evaluation of your skin and help determine the best treatment for your condition based on your skin type, lifestyle, and individual requirements. Your dermatologist will discuss the different treatment options with you, including any risks involved, and the benefits and side effects associated with them, so you can make an informed decision about your treatment. Your treatment plan may include patient education, along with other treatments such as:
- Cosmeceutical products (cosmetic products with medicinal benefits), such as sunscreens, make-up, eye creams, lip treatments, face wash, and night lotions
- Medications or topical applications for skin conditions such as acne, rashes, or dry skin conditions
- In-office therapies
In-office therapies can include:
- Microdermabrasion – uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the skin. The treatment removes the top layer of skin and any dead skin cells and aims to even out skin tone, brighten a dull complexion, and fade scarring.
- Morpheus – radiofrequency micro-needling device tones, minimizes pores, and improves the texture of the skin.
- Glycolic peels – a chemical exfoliation treatment that helps improve the health of skin and improve skin tone, texture, and overall complexion. It is effective in reducing pore size, as well as eliminating spots and pimples from the skin.
- Fraxel laser treatment – a safe and effective laser treatment that can help resurface damaged skin and reduce scarring and hyperpigmentation. The treatment uses laser energy that penetrates beneath the top layer of skin to encourage collagen production and stimulate the growth of healthy new skin cells (to replace old, damaged cells).
- Botox – injections that relax the muscles in your face to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. Treatment can help correct and prevent the visible signs of facial aging, soften lines, and help brighten overall skin tone.
