HYPERPIGMENTATION PROCEDURE
Hyperpigmentation is a very common condition that many people suffer from, at all ages. This discoloration of the face gives patients an uneven skin tone, leaving many patients frustrated and self-conscious about their appearance. It is most commonly caused by overexposure to the sun, but can also be caused by almost any disruption to the skin, such as acne or a rash. Hyperpigmentation can be difficult to treat with at-home or over the counter remedies, especially for patients with stubborn and extensive situations. However, the appearance of hyperpigmentation can often be greatly reduced by treatments available at our dermatologists’ office.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is defined as discoloration of certain areas of the skin, leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone. This is due to an overproduction of melanin, the natural pigment found in skin which determines everyone’s eye, hair, and skin color. There are many contributing factors to a patients’ likelihood of hyperpigmentation. The most common cause is sun exposure, but other common contributors are hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, acne, allergies, and other trauma to the skin. People with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation.
Because there are so many potential causes of hyperpigmentation, many people suffer from this condition, and thus there are many attempts to treat it. There are over the counter and at home treatments such as topical creams and serums which may include hydroquinone, specific acids, or antioxidants. Avoiding the sun and using skincare products is critical during hyperpigmentation treatments.
Each case is unique, as the cause and severity of the condition, the patient’s skin type, and desired results can affect which treatment is the best option for each patient.
The Medlite and Fraxel lasers may be used depending upon the patient.
Dr. Paul Frank Speaks About Fractional Laser Resurfacing Techniques
For best results, it is important to take care of your skin post treatment. Many patients choose to undergo yearly maintenance treatments, or at a frequency discussed with our doctor. It is also vital to limit sun exposure and wear sun protection at all times, to prevent further hyperpigmentation and protect the skin.

Ellacor is
an innovative skin treatment
designed for patients with mild
to moderate skin laxity and
wrinkles. It’s a great option
for individuals who are looking
to achieve smoother, tighter
skin without the downtime of
traditional surgical procedures.
Ellacor works by removing
micro-cores of skin, which
stimulates natural healing and
collagen production.
The
best candidates are those with
lighter skin tones and mild to
moderate concerns, as
individuals with darker skin may
be at higher risk for
hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Ellacor is not recommended for
patients with more severe skin
laxity or deeper wrinkles, as
other treatments may be more
effective in those cases.
The
procedure is minimally invasive
and typically performed under
local anesthesia. Depending on
your aesthetic goals, 2-4
sessions may be needed to
achieve optimal results.

Ellacor is the right treatment

The
hands are an often-overlooked
part of the body that can reveal
a person`s age through sun
damage and volume
loss.
Our personal
efforts in maintaining the
appearance of our hands may
include manicures, jewelry, and
moisturization, but there are
more effective ways to
rejuvenate the appearance of the
hands.
At PFRANKMD, we
use biostimulatory fillers to
restore volume, and lasers to
eliminate sunspots and
hyperpigmentation on the
hands.
As you can see in
the before and after, tendons
and veins are immediately
camouflaged by the filler which
may last up to a
year.

As we
get older, the chronic
inflammation of acne takes its
toll on the skin. Pimples that
used to heal and disappear
seamlessly in our youth
progressively leave a stain of
chronic redness,
hyperpigmentation, and textural
irregularities as we age and our
healing mechanisms become less
effective. Once acne is under
control, we can safely and
effectively erase these marks
and restore the skin`s healthy
and beautiful
balance.
Here we treated
a patient that had the left over
marks of treated acne. We
provided this patient with
results that are effective and
long-lasting. With a combination
approach of vascular and
pigmented lasers along with
energy delivered
microneedling, we achieved our
goal with this happy
patient.
Schedule a
complimentary consultation with
one of our aesthetic healthcare
providers to determine which
approach to treating acne is
best for you.

Real
Patients, Real Results! Here we
are treating acne with the
PFRANKMD Acne
Protocol.
Using the
PFRANKMD Acne Protocol, we have
made improvements to this
patient’s active acne, redness,
and inflammation. The treatment
has also helped improve leftover
hyperpigmentation and scarring.
These results were achieved
after two Acne Protocols and two
months of constant usage of the
PFRANKMD Clinda
Lotion.
The patient still
has minor hyperpigmentation and
scarring to tackle. This is
caused by picking active acne on
the face. AVOID DOING THIS TO
SPARE YOUR SKIN!
The
PFRANKMD Acne Protocol is a
medical-grade treatment using
laser therapy, cryotherapy, and
a prescription based topical
antibiotic.
At PFRANKMD,
we have various treatment
options and protocols to address
acne and acne scars that are
customized to the individual
patient.

There are a
variety of noninvasive,
no-downtime treatments
available, but there’s no quick
fix. Results often take months
to become visible.
“Summer bodies are made in
the winter,” says Dr. Paul
Jarrod Frank, founder of
PFRANKMD. Memorial Day is three
months away, so now is the time
to tighten butts, dewrinkle
elbows, and jump-start your
summer body prep.

For those who are
generally fit and toned, but
want more definition, Emsculpt
will lift butts and define arms.
“It typically results up to 19%
fat reduction and up to 1 1/2
inches of fat loss.” Dr. Frank
uses Emsculpt NEO to treat
biceps and triceps and calls a
30-minute session the equivalent
of 20,000 bicep or tricep
curls.

passed over
the skin to
target and destroy pigment and
stimulate cell
rejuvenation.
(A person’s back may take10
minutes to treat.)
Patients
