Treatments"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Did you know that any skin colour can be treated for hyperpigmentation?\u00a0 Difficulty can vary, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">but at Clarite our physician has in-depth knowledge of the best ways to treat this condition.\u00a0 It isn&#8217;t as simple as just using a laser such as the picolaser.\u00a0 Although the laser is excellent, at Clarite we focus on the prevention of the recurrence of the hyperpigmentation spots.\u00a0 If the proper steps aren&#8217;t taken, you can expect the spots to come back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">After taking a careful client skin history, we adjust the home products to be used and ensure our clients have the appropriate sunscreen, not just ANY sunscreen.\u00a0 There is a big difference between over the counter cheaper sunscreens and those that are medical grade with UVA, UVB, infrared protection and free radical protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">You can see from the photos below the treatment success we have had.\u00a0 Different methods of treatment can be used to help reduce hyperpigmentation.\u00a0 These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">microdermabrasion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">chemical peel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">cosmeceuticals<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">picolaser<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">IPL (intense pulsed light)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">microneedling with skin lightening agents<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\nThe photos below show results using laser and\/or topical skin products.\u00a0 The laser produces faster results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The picolaser is a laser that targets the pigment cells themselves, breaking them up into smaller particles.\u00a0 Your own body will then slowly remove the excess pigment.\u00a0 This process improves on the older lasers.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">With laser treatments for hyperpigmentation, there can be some redness occurring any time from 2 hours to 2 days following treatment, so after care is extremely important.\u00a0 We will discuss this with you during your visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a
