Top Four Skin Concerns We Address at Universal Glow
Everyone has unique skin, and everyone has unique skincare needs. Here are the top four concerns that our clients come to us for help.
Hyperpigmentation
This is when your skin produces excess production of melanin that causes dark spots on your skin. Hyperpigmentation happens when your immune system stimulates an inflammatory response that triggers melanocyte activity to protect the skin's DNA from damage and mutation. This can be caused by hormonal triggers or cutaneous inflammation, such as heat, trauma, and sun.
Our recommended treatments:
