Pigmentation Treatments: The Pros & Cons

While most of us associate aging skin with wrinkles, crow’s feet and frown lines, it’s often the case that looking older is primarily caused by uneven skin tone. Large brown patches of pigmentation on face, hands and shoulder areas can cause us to feel less confident and more self-conscious – but thankfully there are several treatments which can reverse the process.

What are the pros of pigmentation treatment?
– It’s incredibly effective.
– It’s not painful.
– Most treatments only take about 30 minutes per session.
– There’s no age limit.
– Pigmentation treatment can drastically improve your appearance.

Are there any cons?

Hyperpigmentation treatment is safe and effective – the only downside is that it may take more than a single session to get the best possible results.

Best treatment for hyperpigmentation on face:

The following four treatments come highly recommended, and are available at Ivory Aesthetics:

1.) HydraFacial

This is undoubtedly the most popular treatment for hyperpigmentation. It is estimated that around the world, there are four HydraFacials performed every single minute of the day. It’s a simple hydradermabrasion procedure which combines exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, antioxidant protection and hydration at the same time.

2) The Oxygen White Infusion

This treatment is great for pigmented skin as it helps to draw oxygen away from the skin’s surface. This helps to accelerate the production of collagen, which in turn helps to repair the skin from within. Oxygen White Infusion treatment is also recommended for clearing acne and creating a more balanced skin tone.

3) Radio Frequency Facial

RF energy treatment helps to non-surgically tighten the early signs of sagging skin, which can contribute to hyperpigmentation. It is most commonly used to treat the cheeks, mid-face, neck, jawline, forehead and around the eyes.

4) Nimue Fading Treatment

This treatment uses antioxidants to reduce melanin, the primary cause of hyperpigmentation. It helps to regulate any potential new pigmentation while fading existing pigment marks.

Sun Damaged Skin – What You Need To Know & Quick Fixes

Everyone loves the sunshine. It makes you feel happy, energised and of course it’s fabulous for that tan.

However, it is incredibly easy for your skin to become damaged when living in Dubai because of the soaring temperatures and scorching summer heat.

Below we explore what you need to know about sun damaged skin, quick fixes you can do at home, and the benefit of facial treatments to treat sun damaged skin.

What you need to know to protect your skin

It is incredibly easy to get sun damaged skin. However, there are certain precautions that you can take to protect your skin.

Apply suncream
When you plan to spend any time in the sun you must apply suncream. Preferably with an SPF of at least 30 or higher. Keep applying it throughout the day.

Drink water
It is incredibly easy to become dehydrated when out in the heat of summer. When you are dry, your skin is dry. Always carry a water bottle with you and take regular sips to keep hydrated.

Love the shade
When possible, stay in the shade and try to take regular breaks in the shade during periods of intense heat. It’s also advisable to keep your skin covered to avoid sunburn. Carrying an umbrella around for shade isn’t a bad idea either!

Quick fixes you can do at home

If you are unlucky and become mildly sunburned, then there are a few things you can do at home to ease your symptoms.

Yogurt is a wonderful natural remedy that can be applied directly to the skin to soothe and reduce redness.

Running a cool bath can also help soothe skin, as can applying a cold compress (frozen peas work well.

Quick fix facial treatments

To reverse sun damaged skin and give it some much-needed care, there are a range of quick fix facial options available as well.

How a HydraFacial saves your skin from Dubai’s scorching summers

With an average temperature of 45 degrees celcius for much of the summer, it’s no wonder that many of us living in Dubai are in need of a good facial to bring some life back into that dry, parched skin.

With skin dehydration a common side effect of such high temperatures, oil and acne appearance can also occur for a lot of us, which is why we recommend the HydraFacial.

This power-facial might be just what you need to reset your skin and feel hydrated and happy, even in the most scorching weather.

How does HydraFacial help your skin?

Unlike traditional facials that just focus on the surface of the skin, the people behind HydraFacial know that your skin is an organ in itself – and more like a sponge.

So they created a system that allows for greater absorption and a more in-depth treatment. You’re not just trying to cover up the problem with surface-level care, you’re treating your skin all the way through thanks to the way the HydraFacial technology works.

HydraFacial for dry and sensitive skin

Since the HydraFacial was created with dry skin in mind, it’s developed with a range of healthy, good-for-you skin products derived from botanicals, including horse chestnut seed extract, red algae extract, hyaluronic acid, copper, zinc and even magnesium peptides.

These deliver as much goodness to your skin as possible, and the vortex-type system it uses helps deliver these ingredients more powerfully than traditional skincare, leaving it enriched and supple.

HydraFacial for oily and combination skin

The heat and sun can send oil into overdrive, resulting in skin that is both dry, dehydrated and acne-prone.

HydraFacial’s use of antioxidants help to calm and care for the skin, with an additional process that directly targets particularly congested and acne-prone skin while still softening and hydrating.

The combination of biological know-how and technical capability makes HydraFacial the perfect way to keep your skin healthy.

If you’re feeling the heat and looking for the perfect way to rehydrate your skin, book yourself a HydraFacial treatment to bring back that healthy glow.

You can now book our 60 min HydraFacial treatment for only AED 787.50
