With Nurse Yvonne Aesthetics by your side, healthy, radiant skin is within everyone’s reach!
If you're reading this, chances are you’ve been battling those pesky dark spots or patches on your skin for some time now! Or perhaps you've started noticing an increase of darker pigmentation that you could have sworn wasn't there before. Either way, Hyperpigmentation and melasma are common skin concerns that affect many of us.
July is Hyperpigmentation and Melasma Awareness Month, and Nurse Yvonne Aesthetics is committed to educating our patients about these common skin concerns, and providing effective treatments to help you achieve your best skin.
Hyperpigmentation vs. Melasma: What’s the Difference?
Hyperpigmentation is an umbrella term for darkened areas of the skin caused by excess melanin. It can result from acne scars, sun exposure, or inflammation. Think of it as your skin's way of leaving behind a little “souvenir” after an injury or irritation.
Melasma, on the other hand, is a specific type of hyperpigmentation. It usually appears as larger patches of dark skin, often triggered by hormonal changes. It's so common in pregnant women that it’s nicknamed the "mask of pregnancy." But, melasma isn’t just for moms-to-be—it can affect anyone, especially if you’re a sun worshipper or prescribed certain medications.
Common Causes of Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
Sun Exposure: The sun’s UV rays are the biggest culprits. They ramp up melanin production, leading to those annoying dark spots.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy can trigger melasma.
Inflammation: Acne, eczema, or other skin injuries can leave behind dark marks once they heal.
Certain Medications: Drugs like antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, and some chemotherapy drugs can cause hyperpigmentation.

Nurse Yvonne Aesthetics
At Nurse Yvonne Aesthetics, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address hyperpigmentation and melasma, tailored to meet your unique skin needs.
Microneedling & Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal. When combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), it’s like giving your skin a supercharged boost of healing power. PRP uses your blood’s growth factors to accelerate the rejuvenation process, making it a dynamic duo against dark spots.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production and cell turnover. This process helps to break down pigment clusters and promotes an even skin tone. Regular treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, giving you smoother and more radiant skin.
