How to Use a ZENMED Hyperpigmentation Treatment Kit

There are many causes of hyperpigmentation, or skin darkening, including acne scarring, hormonal changes, sun damage and aging. Likewise, there are many treatments to get rid of it. Several of those treatments, such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing, can be quite expensive and must be performed by an esthetician, dermatologist or plastic surgeon. With ZENMED Scar and Hyperpigmentation Treatment Kit, however, you can treat your dark spots on your own at modest cost.

Things You'll Need

• Mild facial cleanser

Instructions

1. Determine the cause of your hyperpigmentation. If you are taking medications that cause this condition, you may only have to change the dosage or switch to another prescription.

2. Order a ZENMED Scar and Hyperpigmentation Treatment Kit. The ZENMED kit costs a fraction of what it would cost you to have professional peels or other treatments from an esthetician or a doctor.

3. Wash your face with a gentle facial cleanser at night. ZENMED also offers facial-cleansing products, but any mild cleanser will do.

4. Use the Renewing MicroDermabrasion Complex after washing your face and leaving it wet. Apply a small amount of the product in circular, upward motions all over your face and neck, rinse your skin and pat it dry. This product sloughs away the dead-skin cells on the surface, allowing the healthier skin underneath to shine.

5. Apply ZENMED Skin Eraser product only to the hyperpigmented areas. This product has 2-percent hydroquinone, an FDA-approved skin lightener, so it should not be applied to the entire face.

6. Repeat the ZENMED Scar and Hyperpigmentation Treatment up to 10 times. The kit contains enough product for 10 applications, and by the last application, you should see marked improvement in your hyperpigmentation.

Tips & Warnings

• The ZENMED Scar and Hyperpigmentation Treatment Kit includes the Renewing MicroDermabraion Complex and the Skin Eraser for a discounted price. You can buy both products separately, but know that it will be more expensive to do so. Use this kit to improve the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars, as well as hyperpigmentation.

• Don't use any hydroxy-acid peels or other harsh products on your face while you are using the ZENMED kit. The exfoliating effect of the kit will make your skin more fragile.

• Check that the ZENMED Skin Eraser product is completely absorbed into the hyperpigmented area before using any other products on that area or going to bed. Otherwise, you could cause the product to migrate to unwanted areas and cause hypopigmentation, or skin lightening, where you don't want it.
