Can hyperpigmentation be completely removed?
While some forms of hyperpigmentation can be significantly reduced or even eliminated, results depend on the treatment's cause, depth, and consistency. With advanced technology and expert care, we often achieve dramatic improvement—and help patients maintain clearer, more radiant skin long-term.
Will hyperpigmentation return after treatment?
It can, especially if skin is exposed to UV rays without protection or if underlying triggers (like hormones or acne) persist. We focus not just on correction but also on long-term prevention through tailored maintenance treatments and medical-grade skincare.
Is there a difference between melasma and other pigmentation issues?
Yes. Melasma is hormonally driven and often deeper and more diffuse than sunspots or PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). It requires a more delicate, layered approach—and not all lasers are appropriate.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
During your consultation, we evaluate your skin tone, the type and cause of your pigmentation, and your goals. From there, we create a custom plan using the safest, most effective options for your unique skin.
Is it safe to treat hyperpigmentation on deeper skin tones?
Yes—with the right expertise and technology. We have extensive experience treating all skin tones safely and effectively using protocols designed for pigment-prone complexions.
What should I avoid after pigmentation treatments?
Sun exposure is the biggest concern. We recommend avoiding direct sun, using a broad-spectrum SPF daily, and pausing active skincare (like retinol or exfoliants) until your provider gives the green light. Aftercare is key to maintaining your results.
Can skincare products alone fade pigmentation?
Medical-grade skincare can support pigment correction—especially ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, hydroquinone, or tranexamic acid. However, for deeper or more stubborn discoloration, in-office treatments are often necessary to reach the root of the issue.
How soon will I see results from pigmentation treatments?
Some patients see visible brightening within a week or two, while others notice gradual improvement over several sessions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your treatment type and skin condition.
