When it comes to issues like hyperpigmentation, having an uneven skin tone, or having a dull skin tone in general, simple solutions are easier to find than you might think. At SPRY Skin & Wellness, we understand the true causes of changes in skin tone and offer a variety of treatments to help improve it.
Here, we’ll talk about the science behind our treatments for skin toning in Waterloo so you can understand the steps to revealing refreshed, glowing, even-toned skin.
Chemical Peels
At SPRY, we offer the VI chemical peel to exfoliate your skin’s surface and encourage healthier skin. By using a unique combination of chemical compounds, chemical peels cause a reaction within the the epidermis and dermis of your skin. This causes the uppermost layer of your skin to dry out and flake away, taking away pigmented skin cells with it. Then, to replace the skin you “lost,” your body creates additional collagen and elastin to repair and strengthen your skin, improving issues like hyperpigmentation, melasma, and more.
PRX
PRX uses a very similar science to chemical peels, but it uses a mixture of Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Kojic acid, and hydrogen peroxide to create a more gentle exfoliation effect on the surface of your skin. This means the overall treatment series may take longer to accomplish the same goals because it does not affect your skin as deeply as chemical peels do, but it uses the same science to remove dead and damaged skin cells that contain unwanted pigment. Then it increases the production of collagen and elastin for your skin to generate healthier, more even-toned skin.
IPL
Our last treatment that specifically targets skin tone is intense pulsed light treatment, or IPL. This incredible device uses intense pulses of broad-spectrum light to generate heat, which penetrates into your skin’s dermis. The pigment and superficial blood vessels within your skin absorb the heat, which causes redness and rosacea. The heat destroys the pigmented cells and your lymphatic system naturally removes them from your body.
