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.
- 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 hyperpigmentation (this can occur on the face, hands, elbows, armpits, knees and even the anal or genital areas). 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.

Knee, Elbow, Underarm, Buttocks Skin Discoloration
Skin Discoloration of the Knees, Elbows, Buttocks and More
Melanin pigment is located in a very small granule known as the melanosome formed in the melanocyte. The amount of melanin pigment that is found in the skin determines the skin color, from pale to brown to black.
Melanocytes of dark-skinned individuals produce larger quantities of melanin and the melanosomes are individually dispersed within the melanocytes. Dark black skin has the largest number of melanosomes with the same amount of melanocytes.
The size of the melanosomes as well as their activity determines the distribution pattern, which in turn determines the degree of pigmentation.
In Asians, the melanosomes are distributed as a mixture of single and complex forms of melanosomes. In black skin, the melanosomes are larger, heavily pigmented, and singly distributed in keratinocytes. In white skin the melanosomes are smaller containing less melanin, and distributed in groups.
Melanosomes in healthy blacks and in deeply tanned whites may be dispersed singularly throughout the epidermis.
So, how does this apply to discoloration of the elbows, underarms, knees, private region or the anus?
The more the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light and other aggressors, the more it will pigment to protect itself. This can occur in any area of the body.
How does Bay Harbour Med Spa help to even out elbow, underarm, knee or buttocks discoloration?
With a combination of our exclusive ‘ Crystal Microdermabrasion’ and ‘ Bay Harbour Med Spa Skin-Lightening Line,’ you too can experience the result yielding benefits that so many of our clients from all walks of life have experienced.
Underarm, Elbow, Knee and Other Skin Discoloration Issues
Skin discoloration does not discriminate- eventually many women or men experience skin discoloration regardless of your ethnic background or skin color. Skin discoloration manifests itself as brown (lighter or darker toned) to ashen pigmentation.
So, how do skin pigmentation disorders develop?
Melanin is the pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. Skin pigmentation disorders develop because the body either produces too much or too little melanin. Melanin (depending if enough of it is produced) does provide some amount of sun protection by absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The more melanin the greater the sun protection, this explains why darker pigmented persons ( i.e. black skin) are less susceptible to sunburn and the overall effects of sun damage. Although darker skinned persons are less susceptible to the sun rays, increased melanin production (hyperpigmentation) does cause skin discoloration/damage because of hormonal changes.
So, how can Bay Harbour Med Spa help you lighten your skin discoloration ( i.e. underarms, elbows, knees, private areas or sphincter)?
Melanin is stimulated by a complex process partially controlled by an enzyme called tyrosinase. Most skin-lightening treatments are aimed at inhibiting this enzyme. However, please be very cautious and stay clear of any skin-lightening product which contains hydroquinone ( an ingredient which has links to producing cancer).
Bay Harbour Med Spa has been treating men and women of all skin colors for more than three decades. Keeping to our mission to only use organic ingredients (fruit, vegetable or plant extracts) we’ve kept true to our motto and have developed a wonderful result yielding treatment for pigmentation disorders.
For our Miami based clients who experience underarm, elbow, knee, private region or sphincter skin discoloration Bay Harbour Med Spa combines it’s exclusive Crystal Microdermabrasion skin-ligthening treatment with our exclusive (natural) skin-lightening cream.
