About Hyper-Pigmentation
|
Viewing hyper-pigmentation under a special lamp to detect melanin damage from sun exposure and/or melasma:
These women had no idea their skin had accumulated so much sun
damage until we put them under a special lamp!
To the naked eye it seemed they simply have a few "age spots", but the
blue light reveals intense discolorations and hyperpigmentation below the surface.
Facial Melasma:


Using new imaging to see the damage below the surface of the skin...think about ice bergs: what we see is a fraction of the mass below the surface in most cases. This is why we don't advise our clients to "spot treat" pigment with their products. Cover the entire face daily for months until all the damaged cells have come to the surface for exfoliation.
Forehead Melasma:

Some viewers ask why we don't show many before and after photos. Our local clients that come for professional skin treatments would not be comfortable having their pictures on the world wide internet! Our global mail order business makes it impossible to not only gather accurate "after" images, but we can't monitor their progress for true results. Anecdotally, we can tell by the comments we receive from people all over the world that when they use the programs we outline here, they see results. Occasionally we do have customers that are not satisfied, regrettably it's just too difficult to consult accurately online and there is no way to know if they followed instructions or did not disclose important details like medications, allergies or illness for us to consider in advising them. We can't say if they use sun protection daily or eat healthy or remember to use their products regularly. We believe in the products we sell, the scientists and chemists that developed them because we have seen the results locally with our clientele and use them ourselves.
We follow a naturopathic orientation so we don't prescribe or recommend drugs or diagnose skin disease, but if you have been unsuccessful in finding prescription medical remedies, we offer many alternatives on our web site!

The chemists doing research for the cosmetics brands we sell have created results-oriented formulations that are non-comedogenic and contain state-of-the-art ingredients, including ceramides, enzymes, Niacinamide, MSM, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, GABA, micellized vitamins, Hydroquinone, L-Arbutin, Quercetin, Rucinol, Bearberry Extract, Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, Azaleic Acid, Goji Berry Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Ellagic Acid, minerals, vitamins A, C, E, K and P, naturally occurring Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids, amino acids, anti-oxidants and pharmaceutical grade botanical extracts.
