Dear Jackie,
It?s no wonder you?re frustrated?hyperpigmentation is difficult to treat. But there is hope in getting rid of it with time.

Dear Jackie,
It?s no wonder you?re frustrated?hyperpigmentation is difficult to treat. But there is hope in getting rid of it with time.

We recently launched our new product JolieMD Metamorphosis which was formulated to help women even their skin tone and gently remove the unwanted excess hyperpigmentation.

The key, which we address more fully in our blog posts, is a formulation that works by targeting the entire pigmentation assembly line, not just one step. Our formulation uses numerous different active ingredients that work at separate points, not just one ?super? ingredient that probably isn?t so super.

All of this being said, you have to remember that hyperpigmentation can arise from sun damage and hormonal issues, as well as inflammation from acne, lasers, waxing, rubbing the skin, etc. So to allow the skin to rid itself of this excess pigmentation, you need to do a few things:

1. Daily sunscreen to prevent sun induced pigment

2. Stop irritating the skin: no rubbing, waxing, lasers, etc, until the irritation has gone away

3. A good skin care product, like JolieMD Metamorphosis, that works to prevent excess pigmentation

Remember: it took a long time to get the hyperpigmentation, so it is going to take a little while to get rid of it. Don?t buy the hype on products that say they will remove the pigmentation in 5 days or two weeks. If it sounds too good to be true, it?s probably because it isn?t true at all.

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions or feel free to go to our blog at joliemd.com to read more
