Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
Explore our collection of the most effective treatments for hyperpigmentation.
What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of skin that can appear as dark spots or patches on the face, chest, or body. Most commonly, hyperpigmentation appears brown in color, however skin discoloration can appear as other colors as well.
Understanding the type and cause of the hyperpigmentation is critical to providing effective treatment. Our experienced team treats hyperpigmentation with excellent outcomes using effective combinations of treatments, including energy-based devices, dermatologic solutions, and medical-grade skincare.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is caused by excess production of melanin, which is a pigment that gives skin its color. The most common types of hyperpigmentation include melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. There are a variety of causes of hyperpigmentation, including hormonal changes, sun exposure, age, skin injury or inflammation, and medication.
How can hyperpigmentation be treated?
There are a variety of ways to treat hyperpigmentation, from treatments such as lasers and peels to products like prescription creams and medical-grade skincare. In nearly every case, a combination of treatments and skincare will produce far better results than just treatments or skincare alone.
It is critical to take a methodical and scientific approach to treating hyperpigmentation, rather than experimenting with treatments that are trending or popular. Some treatments or products that work well for one individual may not work, or can worsen the condition, for another individual. Because of this, our treatment and product choices are personalized based on the type and cause of your hyperpigmentation, and we will create a thorough treatment plan at your first visit based on our 90+ years of aesthetic experience.

Chemical Peels
The latest generation of chemical peels target hyperpigmentation gently yet effectively. The peels correct pigmentation problems, brighten the skin, and reduce the appearance of sun and age spots. Good for most skin types, the peels work well on all skin colors, including darker complexions, which traditionally did not fare well with chemical peels.
IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses light energy to selectively target sunspots and other hyperpigmented areas. IPL heats the targeted pigmented area without heating up surrounding tissue. The heated pigment is lifted to the surface of the skin and is then naturally removed through the skin turnover process.
Medical-Grade & Prescription Skincare
A proper skincare regimen is important to maintain and enhance the results of the hyperpigmentation treatments. Our aesthetic experts will determine what medical-grade skincare is appropriate for your customized regimen.
