HYPERPIGMENTATION and MELASMA

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition in which the body over-produces melanin (the pigment of the skin), resulting in uneven skin tone and brown blotchy areas, freckles or sun spots.  Causes of hyperpigmentation include UV (sun) exposure, hormonal imbalance (including pregnancy and birth control pills), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (including that from acne scarring). 

Regardless of the cause or type, treatment and correction of hyperpigmentation can be achieved through gentle exfoliation, increased cell turnover, melanocyte activity suppression and adequate sun protection.

Sun exposure stimulates the production of pigment in the skin by melanocytes (the cells that produce the skin's  brown pigment).  Therefore, adequate sun protection is a vital first defense in preventing and controlling hyperpigmentation.  It is important to wear a broad spectrum, zinc oxide based, sunblock everyday. Our aestheticians can help you find a sun protection product that is appropriate for your skin type and lifestyle. 

Prescription topicals such as retin-a and hydroquinone can be used on a daily basis to help suppress and control the over-production of melanin.  Obagi Nu-Derm is a pharmaceutical line that uses both of these topicals to effectively correct hyperpigmentation, reduce sun spots and even out the skin tone.  Our aestheticians will help guide you in the use of this and other medical skin systems to achieve and maintain the best results possible.

In-office treatments such as the Illuminize-micro facial and the  Enhanced Jessner's Facial w/ Hydroquinone help lift away accumulating dead skin cells which hold excess melanin  pigment within them.  Photorejuvenation, or IPL, is another quick and effective way of reducing or eliminating uneven skin tone, freckles and age spots using "LASER-like" intense  light therapy. A full list of services is listed under the SKIN CARE TREATMENTS and PRICES section of our website.  Also check out the PIGMENT CORRECTION PACKAGE on the Packages and Specials page.

In addition to facelift and neck lifts, Dr. Naderi performs Blepharoplasty which is eyelid surgery in Maryland as well as in Virginia.  Dr. Naderi also offers chin implants and fat injections to smooth out the face and create a more youthful appearance.  Many patients opt to have Virginia neck liposuction in order to reduce the fat and wrinkles on their necks and look slimmer.  You might consider enhancing the fullness and overall appearance of your lips with a lip augmentation in Virginia or our other office in Chevy Chase, MD.

If you have scar which resulted from acne, Dr. Naderi is able to excise it using scar revision techniques which may be performed at a hospital or his offices.  He ensures that any unsightly scars are reduced as much as possible.  Dr. Naderi understands that self-esteem and self-confidence can be bolstered with acne scar reduction surgical or non-surgical procedure such as Dermabrasion or the non-inavasive Chemical peels.

Many men and women would like to look and feel younger.  As a result, the use of Botox injections in DC as well Dysport has increased significantly.  It is important to only have these shots administered by a skilled, Board Certified, surgeon or physician.  Dr. Naderi offers these filler injections as well as Restylane and the popular Juvederm and injections such as Radiesse.

Dr. Naderi offers a host of non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as the liquid midface lift using fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm.  They are temporary solutions unlike permanent, plastic surgery procedures. Another such procedure is the non-surgical nose job which also uses fillers or injections to reshape the nose.

Our offices offer various laser procedures such as Erbium laser and CO2 laser to improve the skin as well as Fraxel laser.  Another dermatological procedure offered by Dr. Naderi is microdermabrasion in Chevy Chase.  Pulsed light can also enhance the skin’s appearance which is why the Naderi Center offers IPL Photorejuvenation to combat spider veins as well as sun spots.  Finally, we offer Obagi which is a facial peel that tightens the skin.
