It's important to recognize that there is no quick-fix to hyperpigmentation. However, combining your at-home regimen with professional treatments can expedite the process.

It can take up to 50 days for existing hyperpigmentation to lessen in appearance even when skin is being actively treated. This is because hyperpigmentation takes place on a cellular level. It must be controlled before it can be reduced. In addition, if the pigment resides deeper in the skin it is very difficult to treat, and you may need to seek the advice of a physician for a more invasive treatment. If the hyperpigmentation is also being hormonally driven or stimulated, then the cause needs to be corrected.

It is possible to help expedite results. Speak with your professional skin therapist about pairing your at-home regimen with a series of professional skin brightening treatments, which can help you see results in as little as 30 days.
