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.

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.

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).
