Hyperpigmentation

BBL / BBL® HEROic™️

BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy is one of the most effective and versatile treatments for hyperpigmentation. BBL HEROic delivers precise light energy to target melanin clusters—breaking them down and stimulating cell turnover.

It’s especially powerful for:

  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven tone on the face, chest, arms, and hands

With minimal downtime and fast results, it’s a favorite for those seeking tighter, brighter, younger-looking skin.

MOXI® Laser

MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser ideal for early signs of sun damage and pigmentation. It treats uneven tone, minor discoloration, and texture irregularities with virtually no downtime, making it perfect for patients who want a preventative or subtle refresh. MOXI also pairs beautifully with BBL for comprehensive skin correction and maintenance.

Profractional

For more advanced pigmentation and textural concerns, Profractional laser therapy penetrates deeper layers of the skin. This treatment resurfaces damaged areas and triggers collagen regeneration, reducing:

  • Stubborn melasma
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Scarring

It’s best for those looking for dramatic improvement with fewer treatments.

Micro/Nano Laser Peel

These light laser peels gently remove the skin’s outer layers, lifting surface pigment and accelerating cellular renewal. A Micro Peel targets deeper imperfections, while a Nano Peel offers a lighter touch—both help reveal brighter, more uniform skin with smoother texture.

Chemical Peel / Medical Peel

From superficial to medium-depth, chemical peels exfoliate the top layers of skin to:

  • Lift pigment
  • Refine pores
  • Improve clarity

Formulated with ingredients like glycolic acid, TCA, or salicylic acid, our medical-grade peels are chosen based on your skin type and pigmentation severity to safely resurface and brighten.

Hydrafacial (with Brightening Boosters)

Hydrafacial combines gentle exfoliation, extraction, and deep hydration in one luxurious treatment. When paired with powerhouse brighteners like Britenol, Vitamin C, or Kojic acid, it helps reduce mild discoloration and restore glow. It’s an excellent option for maintenance or those new to pigment correction.

Laser Resurfacing / Contour TRL

Contour TRL is a powerful resurfacing laser that treats:

  • Deeper lines
  • Rough texture
  • Pigmentation

It removes damaged outer layers of skin and stimulates profound collagen renewal, making it ideal for severe sun damage or stubborn discoloration. Results are dramatic and long-lasting, with downtime varying based on depth.

SkinPen® (Microneedling)

Microneedling with SkinPen stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, reducing the appearance of:

  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Acne scars
  • Uneven tone

Combined with lightening serums or PRP, it enhances tone correction and speeds healing for luminous results.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

When paired with microneedling or laser treatments, PRP enhances cellular renewal and collagen production. Rich in growth factors, it supports skin healing and can help reduce residual pigmentation while improving tone, texture, and elasticity.

Hyperpigmentation FAQs

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.
