A New Approach to Treating Pigmentation

Written by Fresh Clinics | Mar 31, 2024 1:00:00 PM

It's an exciting time in the aesthetic industry. Groundbreaking development has given us innovative tools to treat prominent skin concerns, such as pigmentation. Pigmentation disorders are one of the most common dermatological problems that hinder many from showcasing their natural skin.

Dr. Tina Meder, a leading figure in skincare science, recently hosted a webinar for Fresh  Members, introducing Meder’s latest product and breakthrough in pigmentation. 

The Problem With Traditional Treatments

Traditional methods of treating pigmentation, up until now, have often come with their unique set of challenges. These solutions often have a detrimental impact on melanin, the skin's natural protector.

The traditional approach involves destroying melanin to "whiten" the skin which makes it vulnerable to damage. It creates an unpleasant cycle in which the treatments meant to help, inadvertently damage the skin due to this elimination of melanin. Long-term exposure can lead to persistent inflammation, the primary culprit behind increased melanin production, thus worsening the pigmentation.

As Dr. Meder noted, "If you control the inflammation, you control pigmentation." Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate our treatment methods to ensure they do not stimulate inflammation, further propagating pigmentation.

A New Approach

Medar’s latest collection, Lumino-Derm, is revolutionizing pigmentation treatment. Comprising a mask and a cream, it aims to treat dark spots and pigmentation in a novel, safe, and effective manner. "It's probably the first product in the world that helps to protect your skin while it brightens," Dr. Medar explained.

Instead of removing melanin, the Lumino-Derm Collection works to restore and maintain the healthy production of melanin. It aims to strike a balance in shades of melanin - for skin types across the spectrum.

At the core of Lumino-Derm’s success is an ingredient known as 'Cysteamine.' Cysteamine is a revolutionary ingredient in skincare, known to convert melanin to a lighter hue, promises a brightening effect on the skin, and has been shown to reduce melasma and dark spots in around 80% of users within eight weeks.

The Lumino-Derm Collection includes a skin-brightening mask packed with peptides, antioxidants, and healthy bacteria to promote brightening, skin health, and maintaining a healthy microbiome. Designed for use once a week, it aids in maintaining results and preventing new pigmentation. On the other hand, the Lumino-Derm cream offers an active treatment plan for existing pigmentation issues. Both these products together present a comprehensive plan for promoting healthy skin.

Thanks to Meder, the approach to pigmentation treatment is changing. Emphasising the importance of maintaining healthy skin, Dr. Meder added, "That's our motto - skin should be healthy and healthy skin means active longevity for the skin." This refreshing perspective is a harbinger of truly innovative skincare options that are safe, effective, and gentle to the skin.

At Fresh Clinics, we remain committed to sharing the latest trends and treatments that empower our Members and spark inspirational discussions about the future of skincare.
