Dark Spots Got You Down? Try a Prescription Strength Lightening Cream

Many people suffer from an uneven complexion due to brown spots on their face. With Texas comes sun, with sun comes sun damage and pigmentation. There are many Over- the-Counter treatments that claim to lighten, but the key secret is to blend several ingredients together – starting with Hydroquinone!

Dr. Wright’s Tip

Hydroquinone is a chemical skin bleach to slow the production of melanin which causes brown spots. While this helps it is not enough to slough off the skin that has been pigmented, so at SKIN MD and Beyond, we offer a very special compounded treatment called DHR (Destroy Hyperpigmentation Rapidly). I have blended a strong medical- grade hydroquinone with a 1% Retin A (causing the skin to peel slightly to remove surface pigment) and a soothing steroid cream to reduce any inflammation.

DHR is used in our clinic in conjunction to some of our treatments like Palomar or our Microneedling facials. (You should expect about 2-3 days of slight redness and flaking after the treatment)  So what are you waiting for? –  call today and get started on a more youthful pigment free complexion!

Note: Our compounded DHR cream is only available by booking a treatment at Skin MD and Beyond. Not available as a product for sale.
