Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this has been asked a few times I think, cosmelan or enlighten peels followed by vivatia foam, reve skin fortified bleaching, phyto plus, and is clinical pro heal will help.Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, you can use hydroquinone.  It is a topical lightening agent that can be used effectively on most areas of the face and body.  Good luck!
