Best Treatments for Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to dark patches or uneven skin tone caused by sun exposure, inflammation, melasma, or post-acne scarring. While common, it can be stubborn and resistant to over-the-counter treatments. At Skin Care Institute, we offer clinical-grade solutions that target pigment at its source for visibly brighter, clearer skin.

Even Out Your Glow With Targeted Clarity Treatments

We use advanced treatments like IPL Photofacials, chemical peels, microneedling with PRP, and Clear + Brilliant® to break down pigment and restore radiant skin tone. Our plans are personalized to treat your specific type of discoloration safely and effectively.

What to Expect from Your Hyperpigmentation Treatments

Weeks 1–2

We start with a skin consultation and VISIA™ analysis to determine pigment depth and triggers. Your first treatments may include a light chemical peel or gentle laser session to initiate exfoliation and pigment lift.

✓ Brighter, more radiant skin tone
✓ Surface-level discoloration begins to fade
✓ Customized home care regimen established

Weeks 3–5

As your skin adjusts, we intensify the approach with IPL Photofacials or microneedling with PRP to target deeper pigment layers. These treatments also stimulate collagen, improving overall skin texture.

✓ Fading of stubborn dark spots
✓ More even skin tone across cheeks, forehead, and chin
✓ Increased skin renewal and luminosity

Weeks 6–8

We fine-tune your results with additional Clear + Brilliant® or deeper peels based on your skin’s progress. Continued treatments help reduce remaining patches and prevent new ones from forming.

✓ Significantly reduced discoloration
✓ Smooth, polished skin texture
✓ Strengthened skin barrier for pigment control

Ongoing Maintenance (Monthly or Quarterly)

To maintain clear skin, we recommend a customized mix of seasonal laser refreshers, topical antioxidants, and medical-grade SPF. Ongoing monitoring ensures pigmentation stays under control.

✓ Long-term skin tone balance
✓ Protection against pigment reoccurrence
✓ Radiant, healthy-looking skin year-round
