Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that causes patches of skin to appear darker than the surrounding area. It develops when excess melanin builds up in the skin and can be triggered by sun exposure, acne, hormonal changes, inflammation, or skin injury.
At SKIN Clinics, we have some options that treats Hyperpigmentation. They are designed to target unwanted pigmentation, improve uneven skin tone, and support a clearer, brighter-looking complexion. Your provider will assess the type and depth of pigmentation present and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your skin type, skin concern, and goals.
Get The Facts
Hyperpigmentation (“Hyper” means more, and “pigment” means color.) can appear as dark spots, sun spots, age spots, post-acne marks, melasma, freckles, or uneven skin tone. Because different types of pigmentation respond differently to treatment, a proper consultation is important before beginning care.
Treatment may include laser treatments, IPL, chemical peels, microneedling, medical-grade skincare, or a combination approach. The goal is to reduce visible pigment, encourage skin renewal, and help prevent future pigmentation from becoming more noticeable.
Results are typically gradual and may require a series of treatments. Daily sun protection and proper skincare are essential for maintaining results and reducing recurrence.
