Hyperpigmentation

An endocrine disorder first described by the British Physician Thomas Addison in the mid 1800 s. The adrenal glands fail to produce sufficient amounts of glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol) and sometime mineralocorticoid (aldosterone). If left untreated it is life-threatening, the patient will show muscle weakness, hyperpigmentation and even depression. Typical treatment is hydrocortisone replacement therapy. [Pg.19]

Skin lighteners, freckle and age spot removers, and other remedies for hyperpigmentation are not actually bleaches like the products listed so far. The active ingredient is hydroquinone, which inhibits melanin formation when applied to the skin. Since the effect is easily reversed by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light, a sunscreen is usually included in the formula. [Pg.194]

Following the peel the skin is carefully observed for any complications such as hyperpigmentation and infection. Results are maintained with serial peels and by using at-home tretinoin or glycolic acid, as well as by sun avoidance. [Pg.19]

Side effects, such as temporary hyperpigmentation or irritation, are not very significant. [Pg.19]

Glycolic acid can be applied simultaneously with TCA, which represents another technique for a medium-depth peel. Glycolic acid is also used in creams for self-treatment. Since complications such as hyperpigmentation, infection, irritation, and photosensitivity are very rare, it is well tolerated. [Pg.20]

Jessner s peels have been used to treat acne, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, lentigines, freckles, and photodamage (Figs. 3.2a,b, 3.3a, b and 3.4a, b). [Pg.25]

Photoaging also add topical tretinoin (0.025%) and topical bleaching agents (4% hydrochinone, 20% azelaic acid) for at least 2 weeks once a day (in the evening) to decrease the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and promote wound healing... [Pg.32]

Patients with photoaging showed a smoother texture, less evident fine wrinkles and an important lightening of hyperpigmentations (freckles and lentigines) [7,8]... [Pg.35]

Grimes et al. [8] reported substantial efficacy and minimal side effects in 25 patients treated with 20 and 30% salicylic acid peels in darker racial-ethnic groups. Conditions treated included acne vulgaris, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. [Pg.50]

Given these findings, indications for salicylic acid peels include acne vulgaris (inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions), acne rosacea, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, freckles, lentigines, mild to moderate photodamage, and texturally rough skin. [Pg.50]

Despite some general predictable outcomes, even superficial chemical peeling procedures can cause hyperpigmentation and undesired results. Popular standard salicylic acid peeling... [Pg.51]
