I am a 44 yr old blonde, pale skinned woman. I've never had hyperpigmentation. I had Microneedling with PRP 3 weeks ago and I now have large dark patches around my chin and mouth (always a sensitive area for me). The clinic says they'll go away with more treatments and bleaching agents, but I don't see that backed up online. They say the pigmentation just has to come to the surface and then be exfoliated away. Is that right? Never had issues with dark patches before!

Answer: Hyper pigmentation treatments. Yes, it will settle in time. Especially if non energy based microneedling was used. Your skin type and past history is on yours side. See a dermatologist for some simple agents. Simple solutions include -1. SPF 50 plus 2 times a day, hats, sun avoidance2. HQ 4- 8% for only 2-4 weeks3. Laser (if required) QSL as directed. Most likely simple measures 1 and 2 will sort thing out quickly. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

Answer: Hyperpigmentation after microneedling The good news is that given that you're light skinned it is very likely that your hyperpigmentation can be treated effectively. Skin products with natural lighteners or bleaching creams are often used as a first line. If things persist you can consider intense pulse light (IPL) type treatments as well. Be sure to avoid sun exposure after your procedures and wear sunblock with an spf 30 or higher on a daily basis.
