Zenmed Scar Hypopigmentation Treatment
Zenmed.com markets a hyperpigmentation scar repair kit that targets dark spots and skin damage from acne, sun exposure, aging and hormonal changes. Zenmed uses the term hyperpigmentation instead of hypopigmentation. Skin-disease.org uses the terms interchangeably for skin dark spots. Does this Spark an idea?

Function
-
Hyperpigmentation is sometimes referred to as freckling. The Zenmed hyperpigmentation kit is called the Skin Eraser Kit. The website Acne-Scars-Remedy.com sites the kit's combination of microdermabrasion and skin lightening components that reduce the hyperpigmentation.
Reviews
-
Zenmed Eraser Kit is marketed to provide salon results at a much reduced price. Actual user reviews accessible at ReviewCentre.com range from customers who indicated no results, to one who indicated great results after just four to five treatments. Currently, there is no scientific testing to indicate product efficacy, but Zenmed does offer a money-back guarantee.

Additional Benefits
-
In addition to scar treatment, Zenmed markets its product as providing additional skin benefits, including increased skin collagen levels, diminished fine lines and wrinkles, balancing of combination skin, and an overall tightening and smoothing of the skin surface.
Alternatives
-
Other possible treatments for hyperpigmentation listed at Acne-Scars-Remedy.com include laser resurfacing treatments, chemical peels, and clinic-performed dermabrasion sessions. While all three alternatives deliver results, treatment costs are much higher.
Cautions
-
A strong SPF will help protect skin from hyperpigmentation. The ingredients in the Zenmed Eraser Kit, according to ZenMed.com, can cause skin sensitivity to sunlight, so users should always apply a sunscreen for protection. In addition, continued acne outbreaks, hormone fluctuations, and sun exposure can cause further hyperpigmentation, even after successful treatment.
