Pigmentation Treatment?

Unwanted pigmentation — sun spots, melasma, post-inflammatory marks — is one of the most stubborn skin concerns, and one where medical expertise matters most. Different pigment conditions need fundamentally different treatment, and the wrong approach can make pigmentation worse.

Our clinicians begin with an accurate diagnosis of your pigmentation type, then build a protocol combining the right technologies — targeted peels, laser, microneedling — with prescription-grade topicals and rigorous sun protection. The result is a clearer, brighter, more even complexion that lasts.

FAQs

Everything you need to know — and if your question is not answered here, our clinical team will happily discuss it at your free consultation.

Melasma is managed rather than cured — but managed well, it can fade dramatically and stay controlled. Our protocols combine in-clinic treatment with prescription topicals and a strict sun strategy.

UV exposure is the primary driver of almost all pigmentation. Without daily SPF 50, even the best treatment results will gradually reverse.

Yes, with the right approach — darker skin needs careful modality selection to avoid rebound pigmentation. This is exactly why physician-led care matters.

Superficial sun spots can fade within weeks; deeper pigment and melasma typically improve progressively over 3–6 months of combined treatment.
