Hyperpigmentation Correction for a Fitness Instructor
- Challenge: The client’s melasma worsened with UV exposure, and over-the-counter brightening products had no effect. She needed a solution that would work while she continued teaching outdoors.
- Solution: A comprehensive sun protection and treatment plan:
- In-Clinic: 6 sessions of tranexamic acid peels to inhibit melanin production, paired with monthly LED light therapy to reduce inflammation.
- At-Home: A routine with SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen (reapplied every 2 hours), a niacinamide serum, and a kojic acid night cream. We also provided a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective clothing for her classes.
- Result: After 6 months, her melasma faded by 70%, and her skin tone was even. She now leads classes confidently without worrying about further pigmentation, and recommends her routine to her clients.
