Hyperpigmentation Correction

Hyperpigmentation Correction | Washington DC | Chevy Chase | BethesdaHyperpigmentation is due to increased melanin pigment in the skin. Its causes are numerous and include skin trauma or inflammation, sun damage, melasma/chloasma, medication-induced changes, inherited conditions etc. The treatments range from topical application of bleaching agents such as hydroquinone, topical retinoids, azelaic acid, kojic acid, glabridin (licorice extract), ascorbic acid and sunscreens to receiving such in-office treatments as chemical peels, intense pulsed light therapy, microdermabrasion and laser therapy.

Dr. Sommerville will carefully evaluate your particular skin characteristics and choose the treatment option that best suits your unique needs.

Spider Vein Treatments

Despite significant advances in laser and light therapy, sclerotherapy remains the first line treatment for spider veins on the legs. After cleaning the skin with alcohol, the sclerosant solution is injected into the vessel via tiny needle followed by application of the dressing. Patients are instructed to wear compression stockings continuously for one week following treatment. Localized burning and cramping accompanies the procedure but most patients find the discomfort tolerable. Several treatments are necessary for most patients to achieve desired results. The side effects include hyperpigmentation, matting and rarely small ulcerations.

Facial Redness Correction

Facial redness is a complex problem that may stem from rosacea, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, hormonal factors, sun damage etc. It can be diffuse or consist of multiple distinct capillaries. The best therapy depends on proper recognition of its etiology and often involves choosing a combination of medical and cosmetic approaches.

The medical approach may involve the use of topical or oral medications such as in the case of rosacea. Cosmetic approach involves utilization of intense pulsed light (IPL) devices or lasers.
