Hi Tanya

A thorough skin analysis and health history is vital in the treatment of  hyperpigmentation.  Is it hormonal, caused by UV damage or medications?

I use PCA Pigment Gel (Hydoquinone Free) that contains kojic and I also perform peels like the PCA Sensi and Ultra Peel I or Jessner all depending on their Fitzpatrick.  I have great results with this combination when clients comply with home care.  I tell my clients sunscreen is mandatory or they're just throwing money away and time spent coming to see me.  I do peel treatments every 3 weeks until they are satisfied with the results which is usually 8-10 peels.  The HQ Pigment gel is safe enough for long term use unlike the hydoquinone recommendations of short term use. Hope this helps you!

Hydoquinone...but use sparingly. It is strong stuff and generally used in a medically supervised environment to ensure proper application and treatment.
