Hyperpigmentation can be hard to treat but does not necessarily have to take a very long time to go away. Many of our customers tried for years to remove melasma, dark spots, sun damage, dark scars, etc. and nothing has worked for them but our super concentrated skin lightening products. Our products are used by people as a last resort to removing very stubborn and hard-to-lighten dark spots and dark patchy skin.
What is the Exact Timeframe for Removing Hyperpigmentation
**Actual Tonique customer before and after**
There is no exact timeframe for hyperpigmentation, especially very hard to lighten and stubborn dark areas, but depending on which product you use, you can speed up your results. Dark spots and patches did not appear overnight and won't disappear overnight, but the first results from our more concentrated products typically come in as little as 3-5 days, compared to the 7-10 days that most other skin lightening products take.
Which Products Should I Use for Faster Results
We have products that are good for mild results such as removing dark spots and mild sun damage that isn't too bothersome. However, for more stubborn and harder-to-lighten pigmentation, it is best to use a stronger and more concentrated product.
Melasma or chloasma, for example, is a skin condition that causes dark patches and can be very stubborn and hard to remove. It can be caused by repeated and long-term exposure to the sun as well as hormones from birth control pills or different times in a woman's life, but can also affect males too. For something as difficult to remove as melasma, it is important to use a strong bleaching treatment, preferably applied twice daily, followed up with a good sunscreen during the day.
How to Get the Fastest Skin Lightening Results Possible
1. Exfoliate at least once a week.
Exfoliating using a brightening scrub speeds up cell turnover by removing dead skin from the surface of the skin so that the bright, new skin underneath is revealed. This ensures that the skin lightening product that you apply won't sit on the surface of the skin and fail to penetrate the top layer.
2. Cleanse twice daily.
Keeping the skin clean will also help accelerate the results you get in terms of removing dark patches of skin. Use a cleanser that features natural fruit acids to make sure the skin is prepped and ready for the skin lightening cream that is applied.
3. Use a brightening toner.
Applying a toner also helps get you to the end result faster than you thought possible. Using a brightening toner with AHAs and applying it to the face using upward strokes further ensures that the skin is fresh, very clean, and ready for the next step.
4. Apply a skin lightening cream.
This is one of the most important steps in lightening hyperpigmentation of any kind. The best product to use is one that is more concentrated, such as a strong bleaching treatment. Apply it twice daily, and first results come in about 5 days for more stubborn and hard-to-lighten areas of hyperpigmentation.
5. Apply sunscreen.
During and after treatment for hyperpigmentation removal, it is important to protect the skin from the rays of the sun. Using a brightening sunscreen is the best way to do this. Apply it daily before going out and make it a habit, both to get the fastest results and to avoid the dark spots, patches, and dark areas of skin from returning.
Does Hyperpigmentation Come Back Once It's Gone?
Most of the time, once hyperpigmentation is gone, it's gone for good and won't return. However, with conditions that may be caused by hormones or excessive sun exposure, it is important to stop whatever behaviors contributed to the dark and patchy skin to begin with. Wearing sunscreen is something that must be done both while lightening the area and after treatment, to keep results permanent.
