Arbutin in Skin Lightening Treatments
Copyright 2011. Laser Hair Removal Miami, LLC: Written for Skin Blogs. All rights reserved.
Laser Hair Removal Miami, Llc., together with its sister company, Bay Harbour Med Spa, has long been an advocate for skin lightening treatments which do not contain hydorquinone (an immunotoxic ingredient found in many bleaching creams). So we set out to find an ingredient that was an alternative to hydroquinone, we found it and are excited about its benefits, this ingredient is called arbutin.
Arbutin is is derived from the leaves of bearberry, cranberry and mulberry shrubs. According to The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, arbutin contains properties which inhibit melanin. Melanin produces pigment which in some cases produces hyperpigmentation.
Arbutin is an expensive ingredient which is why many cosmetic companies which produce skin bleaching creams aka skin lightening creams opt to use hydroquinone over arbutin. For a skin lightening system which contains arbutin, please click HERE.

About Our Skin Lightening Treatments
Copyright 2011. Skin Ligthening Treatments Miami. All rights reserved.
Bay Harbour Med Spa offers unique skin lightening treatments for our Miami and Miami Beach clientele. Our skin lightening treatments are effective for all skin areas, such as: underarm or armpit skin lightening, hyperpigmentation skin lightening, face and hand skin lightening, anal lightening, genital lightening and just about any other area you may be concerned with. Our skin lightening treatments are safe for all skin colors, including dark to black skin. Because we don’t use any chemicals or bleaching agents in our products, your skin’s pigment will not be compromised.
After your free initial consultation, you will be given a pigment lightening gel which must be applied daily in conjunction with our Crystal Microdermabrasion TM treatments. This method that we’ve created regulates the enzyme that produces melanin and will prevent the possibility of post inflammatory pigmentation PIH that can occur after any kind of abrasion procedure.
Additional benefits that our Skin Lightening and Crystal Microdermabrsion TM treatments treat or offer are:
- The skin is continually undergoing natural exfoliation. As one ages the epidermal cell turnover slows down and one’s skin becomes dull because the top most layer consisting of dead cells becomes too thick. Brown spots may appear, our treatment is just right to treat this skin condition.
- Melasma, also known as hormonal pigmentation, is a considerable problem for women (and some men too) of all skin colors. It is a chronic skin condition that occurs on the face in the form of brown patches and is a dynamic (active) condition that needs management. Our skin lightening treatment is very effective in treating hormonal hyperpigmentation.
- Many skin problems are associated with excessive build up of dead cells making the skin hardened and dull. Problems are exacerbated by exposure to the sun, pollution, and other environmental effects, leading to skin damage and disease.

Our skin lightening treatment is most effective for these types of skin issues.

Hyperpigmentation and Black Skin
People of color are a very large group, which in South Florida includes people of African and Hispanic descent. It also includes patients of mixed backgrounds who have more darkly pigmented skin. Darker skin type people represent a significant and growing group of patients seeking skin discoloration treatments also known as hyper-pigmentation skin treatments and products. This is because of the increased awareness of safe, affordable aesthetic skin products. The problem with most skin lightening products (aka skin bleaching products) is that they contain caustic chemicals. Skin Renewal Method TM has taken special precautions in addressing and treating skin of color.
People with darker skin tones are prone to certain skin problems such as spots. These spots are caused by an insult to deeply pigmented skin, such as acne, a cut, or a disorder such as psoriasis.
Melanocytes are very sensitive cells and can either stop producing color- hypo-pigmentation or produce excessive color in cases of inflammation- post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. PIH which is most commonly seen in areas where acne blemishes heal, leaving a dark spot behind. Skin Renewal Method TM developed a skin lightening system which is safe for people of darker pigment; not only is it safe to use (no discoloration of the skin) but it is very efficient in helping to even out hyper-pigmentation in dark or black skin.

Causes of hyperpigmentation
Copyright 2011. Bay Harbour Med Spa. All rights reserved.
External influences such as ultraviolet rays, inflammation and hormones may cause hyperpigmentation of the skin.
In an attempt to protect the skin from damage, ultraviolet rays trigger formation of the melanin. Ultraviolet rays affect cells within the epidermis as well as the dermis (layers of the skin). Dermatoheliosis, a medical term used to describe the long-term effects of ultraviolet exposure on the skin. This term encompasses everything from hyperpigmentation and DNA damage to structural changes caused by the cross linking of collage and elastin fibers, resulting in elastosis and wrinkles.
Hormones trigger the production of melanin. Altered hormone levels may result from stress, menstruation, pregnancy, birth control pills, medical conditions and some medications.
Inflammatory response in the skin generates free radicals, which in turn trigger melanocytes. This inflammation may be the result of harsh products; chemical peels; microdermabrasion; laser resurfacing; surgical procedures; and any trauma to the skin, such as cuts, abrasions and even improper extractions by an inexperienced esthetician.
