Even though you live in Florida, you’re considering wrapping a scarf around your face to hide skin that’s uneven in color. Scars, sun damage, acne, hormones and genetics can cause dark pigmentation on your face and throughout your body. Although rarely damaging to your health, dark spots can prove embarrassing, which is damaging to your self-esteem. Dr. Arsenault would be happy to discuss your treatment options, including skin lightening cream.
Skin Lightening Cream and Safety
If a product isn’t FDA approved, there’s no way you can be sure it’s safe. Grab the wrong over-the-counter product, and not only could your dark spots not get lighter, your skin could have a poor reaction. Because FDA approval is only required on products that claim to be drugs, companies can get away with making cream that’s supposed to lighten and brighten skin even if the results are inconclusive.
Dr. Arsenault knows that product lines like Obagi and SkinMedica work to make skin tone more even and lighten clusters of dark pigmentation with regular use. She can start you on a regular skin care routine with these lightening creams after a consultation.
Weighing the Benefits of Safe Skin Lightening Cream
Using safe skin lightening cream is a smart choice. There are virtually no drawbacks and many benefits to using Obagi or SkinMedica skin brightening products, such as:
- Results proven in clinical trials;
- Skin with a more even-colored appearance;
- Non-invasive treatment;
- Reduced appearance of dark spots and scarring;
- Simple to use – apply twice a day, avoid unprotected exposure to sunlight and see results within three months.
Of course, creams take longer to work than instantaneous treatments such as microdermabrasion or Sciton BBL laser, both of which Dr. Arsenault can also perform on your skin if you agree to try them.
Inquiring About Appropriate Product in Florida
You may love living beneath the Florida sun, but the harsh UV rays could be one of the culprits behind your uneven ruddy skin tone. Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch residents have the option of meeting with Dr. Arsenault to discuss safe skin lightening cream plus additional cosmetic treatment options to tackle sunspots, aging spots, acne scars and other discoloration.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Arsenault, and she’ll point you in the direction of effective skin lightening cream. If you’re a customer of her in-house GlowDerm Spa, the entire consultation and treatment will prove a rejuvenating experience. Used on their own or in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments, products like SkinMedica and Obagi can lighten the most stubborn of uneven pigmentation.
