Pigmentation & Dark Spots

Sun Damage • Melasma • PIH • Uneven Tone

Hyperpigmentation can appear in many forms: freckles, sun spots, melasma, or dark marks after breakouts. Our goal is to identify the type of pigment, understand what is triggering it, and choose the safest and most effective treatment plan for your skin.

Understanding Pigmentation

Pigmentation forms when melanocytes (your pigment-producing cells) become overactive. This can be caused by sun exposure, hormones, inflammation, or genetics. The type of pigment you have matters because each type responds differently to treatment.

Common Types of Pigment We Treat

  • Sun Spots – flat, brown spots caused by UV exposure
  • Freckles – genetic pigment that darkens with sun
  • Melasma – hormonally influenced pigment that appears in patches
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – dark marks after acne or irritation
  • Uneven Skin Tone – diffuse discoloration without defined spots

Proper identification is essential. Some pigment sits superficially and responds quickly to IPL or peels; deeper or hormonally driven pigment requires a more gentle, layered strategy.

Pigmentation Treatment Options

Your pigmentation treatment will be customized based on pigment type, depth, skin tone, and sensitivity. Below are the most common recommendations.

Sun Spots & Freckles
Lumecca IPL · Glow or Radiant 30 Peel

Melasma (Hormonal Pigmentation)
Erbium Glass Laser (gentle collagen support) · Glow or Radiant 30 Peel · Brightening Facials
(Melasma requires a conservative, non-aggressive approach to avoid triggering more pigment.)

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Erbium Glass Laser (safe on all skin types) · BHA or Radiant 30 Peel

Uneven Skin Tone & Dullness
Zo Brilliant Glow HydraFacial · Erbium Glass Laser · Microneedling · Brightening Facials

The most effective outcomes often combine in-clinic treatments with medical-grade brightening skincare and strict sun protection to maintain results.
