Skin pigmentation or hyperpigmentation can cause uneven color and dark patches. Excessive production of melanin is responsible for this condition. Hyperpigmentation can occur on almost any part of the body, including the face, neck, hands, arms and legs.
Finding the cause of excess melanin production is the key to reducing pigmentation. This is generally attributed to internal factors like hormones, genetics, medications and UV exposure. Skin inflammation from skin injury, burning, and acne is called PIH or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You can get rid of hyperpigmentation naturally with DIY skin products and the help of some simple and easy home remedies.
AHA or BHA can help exfoliate the skin and reduce superfial pigmentation from melasma, hormonal pigmentation and post acne inflammation. Neostrata makes a good range of products.
Retinol based products contain Vitamin A. This gets converted to retinoic acid. It works both as a exfoliant, but it also slows down skin pigment production or melanin production.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid can be useful. It acts as a free radical scavenger and can be used with Vitamin A in your daily skin care routine.
Another skin care tip is the use of plant extracts such as Potato, Tumeric, Aloe Vera, and Lemon. Apple cider vinegar can also help. Many companies now use natural plant extracts including Neostrata and Lytera.
BHA or salicylic acid combined with low strength hydroquinone is another skin care tip to reduce most forms of skin pigmentation. This is called Superfade and can be purchased from most pharmacies, including myskinpharmacy.com.au
As a laser dermatologist I use over a dozen types of lasers in various wavelengths, including pico and nano second lasers, Fraxel, Clear and Brilliant, fractional laser resurfacing and even ablative CO2 and erbium lasers. I always give a diagnosis with an examination before providing a laser solution. Please do not ask me to recommend a laser solution for your skin type, as a diagnosis is needed prior to advice. Freckles, melasma, sun damage, actinic keratosis and age spots all require specific lasers or IPL- BBL in some cases. As with all my treatments, a bespoke approach gives the best results.
Stay safe, and remember this- diagnosis before treatment. Many deaths have occurred due to poor management as melanomas have been treated with laser from non-medical or Specialist clinics. These DIY tips are designed as a safe ‘hint’ for treating your pigmentation using products that can be bought online, or at a local pharmacy.
One new video every Saturday morning, Brisbane Australia time, Dr Davin Lim. Laser & Aesthetic dermatologist.
Tis Doc is so generous to share his knowledge. Im very impressed. Thanks Doc., am a fan now from Phils 🇵🇭😍❤️
Happy Holidays Dr. Lim. I apologize if I didn't get to watch it. More power to your channel
No prbs.
Hi There! I wish you could help me to clear my hyperpigmentation on my face.... please give me something recommendation? 😊
Thank you for all you do!
Hello Dr. I used to used a BHA and aha exfoliant on my skin and that helped clear my acne/ texture on my skin as well as hyper pigmentation from acne. I had to stop as I got pregnant . My skin broke out a lot throughout my pregnancy and now though post delivery my skin as cleared up I have a lot of marks on my skin. As I am still nursing my baby what aha/BHA or any other treatment can I use safely to clear my hyper pigmentation. Thanks
AHA fine... see a dermatologist to ensure its not melasma, as this responds best to lasers and HQ. Dr Davin Lim. BRISBANE SKIN specialist.
Will hydroquinone work for flat moles?
Wished I live in Australia so I could see you as my dermatologist
Yeah I need to get some laser treatment and daren't pick a dermatologist, I'd trust Davin though 😬
Mary Chen yummy!!
Hey do you have pigmentation?
Same
#mary do you have pigmentation problem..
If yes I can give you the solution in Australia...
Quick video on products to consider if you have pigmentation. These are over the counter products that actually can work, especially for mild pigmentation. I use lasers for all forms of resistant pigmentation including freckles, sun damage, melasma and age spots. Diagnosis is the first step .... so please consult a dermatologist in PERSON if in doubt. Dr Davin Lim
Hi Doctor I know you get hundreds of emails a day and I have really appreciated that you have taken the time to respond to a few of mine in the past. Just another question please - any names for a U.K. dermatologist who specialises in acne scar revision? I have been on your website and you have named Doctors in the US, Singapore, France and Germany (i think) but none for the U.K. I would be massively grateful, thank you! Otherwise I might have to seriously think about a trip to Brisbane next year!
What dose collagen do? And what can help produce it more ??? Thank you
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim baby
Hi Dr Lim, thank you for all the amazing tips and knowledge! Could you put in your list of to dos a video on chest wrinkle prevention and treatment? Thank you again and happy holidays!
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim doctor plz tell me that products name
the only product that cleared my melasma in two weeks is called Eucerin, great product!
Which one of the cream ?
@@zullymouton1869 I used 3: eucerin pigment, cream day pigment 30 sunscreen and cream night pigment
With each of your laser videos, I'm gradually understanding the differences between them. Better to see a derm as an "educated" patient than not, and I sincerely thank you for that! Have a great week! Rita
Thank you . DL
Hello Dr. What is the Vitamin A retinol which u are showing in the video? Which one Shud I buy?
Hi Dr Davin lim. You are tha best doctor in this word.
Thank you for your kind words, Davin Lim, BRISBANE SKIN specialist.
you real are mostly just doctors think about how to get more money in their pockets you are the best !
Helli Davin. IM justin from philippines. I used obagi products before but i stopped because i started to have a pigmentation. Is it possible that products causes my pigmentation? Never been exposed to the sun before
Even now . I am inside of the house.
@@thejpcfiles8438 did you put sunscreen ? My case i use at night but in the morning before i head out i use sunscreen . Ps i use other retinol but the thing is the same
WOW that was amazing!! you can see the results with 1927 machine on first treatment, awesome job doctor Lim 👏 I'll keep watching and keep learning, watching from Illinois USA.
Finally found somebody who actually talks about the scientific evidence behind those beauty products. Well done! Hoping to see more of such videos, plus explaining the biological mechanism would be great!
Cheers, Davin Lim
I'm traveling to Australia just to book an appointment and see you.
Please respond to this
Recently I got PIH from 2.5%benzoyl peroxide. Can I use kligman serum just on the brown marks
Please share some of patients with deeper skin tone, if they are comfortable and if you have such patients. Deeper skin tones have to use alternative professional regimes , and id love to hear you speak on it.
Yes, time will come. Davin Lim
What kind of vitamin C should i use while using Hydroquinone?
Sir i hv pigmentation patches on my face pls suggest me
This was a quick and useful read. I`m promoting this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friend who`ll begin their acne treatments to accomplish a clearer skin. Very much liked this and appreciated the awareness into how my inside troubles can affect my skin. .
This very complicated I thought it was home remedy !!!
Plz make video on acne and acne marks best way to deal with these skin problem and what is the best cream
Just thought i would share my experience about breakouts. I take zinc. Do salt water " sea salt" colon cleanses. Just doing those 2 alone nearly made my skin perfect .
Oh Dr. Bronners soap will help like you won't believe. Organic is the way to go .
One of your hyperlinks contains a porn website!!!
Do you know of any dermatologists like yourself in Illinois or Wisconsin? I’m having a hard time finding a place that doesn’t have a bad reputation or med spas with untrained and unlicensed technicians. I wish i had someone like you in the u.s
Can you use all this together? Or is there a special way to layer these products.
You cannot mix and match without having a deep insight in these treatments. Best to see a dermatologist for your concerns specifically.
Would you please explain hot to use the 5 products in order? Step by step? Sunscreen first? And then vitamin C? And then....??? Shall I put some of the products at night? Or only in the morning? Do I need some time like 5 minutes or 1 hour between the products?
U.s.a has hydroquinnone OTC in low percentages. Palmers coca butter brand sells one.
If you use hydroquinone and then stop , can the lightened skin get worse when in the sun esp in the summer ?
@@dynamitedynamite2737 yes make sure you use sunscreen, you should be using sunscreen anyway
What is this product name shown your video?
Hey Dr Davin. I practice in Jamaica doing basic aesthetics but getting into laser cosmetics soon. A large part of my population is darker skinned with PIH macules secondary to acne. What laser would you recommend for that target population?
I am indian, my skin pigmention,some home mask tell me pls
Thank you Dr for giving free consultation...😚
Cheers, the reason I do these videos is that it saves me explaining what can be done BEFORE laser. As a laser dermatologist its only ethical that patients should try these (within reason ) BEFORE seeing me. Saves time, effort and money for patients. Davin Lim
Wonderful acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to get short, sweet and also to the point about what food items to avert and boost intake for better skin, eliminating acne. Trust me, this will make sense. I can guarantee that this is a helpful guide. Extremely informative and a great help to eliminate acne.
How can I remove my birth white spot on my face
Wow, this video makes me really grateful to live in a cooler climate for once. I had no idea just everyday sun could do such damage to skin...very interesting video, as always!
Cheers, Davin Lim
Fantastic results. I need this! Skin texture was also so improved. Thankyou Dr Lim!
Hi doctor I have melesma on my nose and both of my cheeks I tried every single expensive creams I have had microdermabrasion nothing is working I don’t have no confidence and been so stressed about the melsema on my face plz help
Just contact me on my instagram account @natural_products_benatural
Hi Dr,great to come across your Chanel,really happy to see someone who's knows what is right for us....👌💕
Thanks for the info. Wao u look like Elvis
I love this! "here's a few free ways to help your problems". For that, I would totally pay to see you.
I am dealing with acne marks and Vitamin E and especially Vitamin C are basically in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO/ARTICLE . The thing is I've never used Vitamin C and I don't know if serums are the best way to incorporate it into my skincare or there are other and more effective products with a different texture and I don't know what percent is ideal to use for acne marks and as a new user of this ingredient.
el_. Vitamin E, A, and C for external use SHOULD BE the strongest you can get it. I know that if you use too much vitamin A internally, you can damage your kidneys and your hair will fall out too. Stick with EXTERNAL remedies, even from the doctors, dermatologists, and aestheticians.
Loving these videos Dr. Handsome. With your tips and tricks, my skin has looked it's best. My sister is envious. Thank you so much and keep these videos coming!!!! Happy holidays!
Thanks.... good to know Im helping people... Davin Lim
Hello to all people who have issue with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I was little girl, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering my face. I tried all acne medications available but it was no good. I even tried many diets and advice but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with even more acne. My last hope was to try special laser treatments and when that failed too, it seemed I will never find solution. Then I run across this page. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and advice from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 7 days I had first results and after less than two months my skin was free of acne. All this thanks to secrets from this site
Highly Reccomend, NIOD Re:Pigment by Deciem, uses the best technology for those looking at alternatives, great on newer pigmentation long and short term.
true but niod is very ex .
Hi Dr Davin lim you are best doctor in my seeing in his world and my one problem sir I have suffering from redness on my face because I more tubes used it so more dermatologist no one I proper carefully not treated so I kindly request you sir please reply me
Excellent video: highly informative. Your skill with a laser certainly highlights the limitations (and strengths) of at home treatment. Highly appreciate your skill. Keep producing content and get yourself some US links so you can be compensated for your recommendations.
My skin is sensitive to any type of sunscreen. My pores get clogged and then come the blackheads and/or pimples.
Tanya Fontaine. Put on a thin layer of Monistat before the sunscreen. I know it sounds crazy, but try it.
Thank you so much. I learned so much from you. Good job and God bless you.
What about burn mark on face? Its brownish looks like melasma it's been 4 years and it's still there :(. I tried hydroquinone 4%, pigment serums, lotions, even natural stuff like lemon juice. Yet, it's still there what you recommend or share your idea about this? Thanks on advance! Like your channel!
I’m new here and I really appreciate what you are doing it is amazing information and passion to your profession to the people!!! Regards CA USA. 🥰🥰
Dr. Lim you don't want to start practising in Canada, do you? It's nice here. We have free universal health care. Summers are nice. Winters are challenging, but not horrendous. I need a laser dermatologist here. It wouldn't be hard to get certification here!
Thanks, love my work, but family in Bris Vegas, or Brisbane Oz..... I have yet to lecture in Canada. DL
please come here in canada
My pigmentation is really bad around my eyes.. someone told me my skin looks burnt... 😭😭😭
He's giving us love by giving us great and genuine information that'd he'd give to his personal family and friends. Let's do our part by sharing the video on fb, etc. Ty Dr. Lim appreciate the help.
What should I use if my acne left dark spots?
Thank you !!! I have been waiting for this.
Cheers, its a popular requested topic. Davin Lim. Brisbane.
Thanks. I like dermatologist who are honest and practise professionalism to help their patients. Many dermatologists prefer to sell products, and unnecessarily treatments.
Cheers, DL
Dr Lim who would recommend to see down here in Sydney. Love the Video presentation.
i tried a lots of sunscreens n sunblocks physical as well as chemical all of them are dermatologists approved n specialized for sensitive oily acne prone skin but everyone breaks me out. some famous sunscreens i tried r supergoop beauty of joeson laroche posay anthelios sunscreen cerave neuage etc
What about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation ?
Yup, this can be effective for PIH. Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
Hi Doctor..what about chemical peelings..this are indicated to threat any kind of hiperpigmentation as well??. Thank you for your amazing videos. 😀😀
TCA, AHA, lactic peels
thanks ..love u for giving such awesome tips
Welcome.
sir can you write/mention the name of these product in description box,please.
Hi doc these remedies effective for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Hi Doctor Davin, what great information. I used superfade many years ago and did permanently get rid of many brown spots, although I found the formula very greasy. Is it any better now? thank you for your video. You are saving us all a lot of money! cheers!
No problems ,share if you think its useful. Davin Lim
Hello prettyblimp, Can you please share more details of the superfade? I am interested in trying it out. Thanks.
Whats best DIY remedies for pigmentation safe for breastfeeding mom
Thanks so much Dr. Davin Lim!!!! Excellent video and extremely informative like always!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! I always learn so much watching your videos!!! I have shared so much information that I have learned from you!!! Greatly appreciated!!! ❤️😃
No problems Traci, Dr Davin Lim
I have age spots on legs can not afford for my dermatologist to remove them what would you recommend?
A lot of these ingredients are in the Reverse Regimen I've been using from Rodan + Fields. It's really helped fade my sun damage.
I removed my thumbs up, for telling us to use sun screen. That stuff is getting into the ocean around Australia, and killing tbe Great Barrier Reef. Anyway, over here in the US, I won't use it either. Vitamin E supplementation, and avoiding sugar consumption right before and during Sun exposure has been working for me, except I finally have a Sun spot. But I still refuse to buy or use Sun screen.
Hello Dr.Lim, i would like ask you. How we can combine retin A with AHA in our daily routines? Is it possible and save?? Thank you ))
With a test patch and caution. Davin Lim
Super fade is only 2% hydroquinoine. We need 4% to be effective right? If you are using Super fade should we rest after 3 months or its safe to use until the pigment improves at the 2%?
Could you give the names of the products that are shown in the video in the description...pls....that applies to all your videos....
I live in the US and I most definitely can not afford laser treatments, however I use retinols, AHA’s/Bha’s and have just recently discovered amazing Vitamin C products to add to my skincare routine. I didn’t have any sun spots a year ago and about 8 months ago I was using certain products that I feel speed up that process for me. I have seen a vast improvement but the ones on my nose are very difficult to remove. Is there a reason why?
do i need to apply sunscreen when i am work at home? only one window in my room and is not facing to my desk
Yes.. UVA goes through glass. Davin Lim
will do!!
Why isn't every dermatologist in the world like you? btw got any tips for red acne hyperpigmentation? or can you make video about it please
Dr. Lim, Thank you for the wonderful video!! Are we not supposedly using 2%-4% hydroquinone more than 2-3 months then take a break? I just purchased Obagi blender to mix with retin-a & Obagi clear to add to my daily skin care routine. THANKS!! :)
Jewel m hi where did you get yr obagi blender. I have trouble finding it in melbournr. Thanks
Anna I got mine from lovelyskin.com. I'm from U.S., don't know if they ship internationally. Dr. Lim office might carry them too?
Hi Anna,
Not sure where your from but in the US, you can purchase Obagi on Obagi.com or dermstore.com. Good luck!
Hello doctor I'm 33yrs I got melasma for so long ..I tried many products but it rises again and again now it's becomes so dark almost whole face..it's also always so itchy especially when expose to the sun and air and dust..can you help suggest me what to do??
I was using hydroquinione 4% for a number of months and then looked at my skin and I really wanted to lighten it but it doesn't get any lighter unless you look at my neck. That is light. I wear the lightest shade of foundation in any line and I should be happy with that. Asian beauty standards were getting the best of me but I am ok being the lightest shade as it is.
Add laser... Davin Lim
MACHINES...and STUFF IN A BOX..are NOT "HOME REMEDIES!" geeez!
In Bulgaria it is literally cheaper and much faster to do the laser treatments, rather than to buy 3 Neostrata Products!
Wow... laser sessions here are not expensive as well... dermal toning.
Aren't they? How do you finance all those machines? Or is there such high demand?
I can not obviously answer for Dr Lim, but I could give u an insight how things work out in poor Bulgaria:
the banks buy the machines and then the lease them out to Salons and Clinics.
Yes, that's usually how it works in capitalism, but leasing doesn't mean free. I know it's tax deductible, but you must still earn that money and your wage and wage of administrative workers and a rent.. But if it pays off at lower prices, good for us.
Imagine the lowest salaries in EU combined with the lowest taxes in EU. Welcome, to Bulgaria! That is how they achieve those prices!
Hello doctor! Great video I just came across to. Can you write in you information the products you showed on the video as I cannot find where to buy the products you talked about. Thanks!
Hai sir, it's remidy use can boys ??. and I have reddish on face...Plz tell me any suggestions to this problem
What is your recommendation for treating freckles and moles on the back ... I have had two pre cancerous freckles removed but would like a clear back ... I have very freckley and moley skin. Not sure what to ask or do as treatment. 😔
Depends on your type of pigmentation. DL
The retinol i’m using (Paula’s Choice) can’t be used with AHA or BHA. Why?
Irritant.
