What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation happens when your skin produces too much melanin—the pigment that gives your skin its color. This can be triggered by things like sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal shifts (like during pregnancy), and even certain medications or skin injuries. Some people also have a genetic tendency to develop dark spots more easily.

While it’s completely harmless, hyperpigmentation can feel frustrating—especially when it doesn’t fade on its own or keeps coming back.

Treatment Options for Hyperpigmentation

Fading dark spots takes more than just drugstore products. At Rejuvenation Skin Lab, we use proven treatments that target pigment below the surface and help your skin renew itself. These options are gentle, effective, and tailored to your skin’s specific needs.

• Dermaplaning: This exfoliating treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, which helps brighten the skin and allows pigment-correcting products to absorb more deeply. It’s a great first step in any hyperpigmentation treatment plan.

• Chemical Peels: Chemical peels help lift pigmentation by removing damaged layers of skin and encouraging new, even-toned skin to rise to the surface. We customize the strength and formula based on your skin tone and the type of discoloration you’re dealing with.

• Laser Treatments: Lasers target pigment directly and break it up so your body can naturally eliminate it. They’re especially helpful for stubborn sun spots or uneven patches that haven’t responded to other treatments.

• Pigment-Correcting Pads: These are medical-grade skincare pads infused with ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or tranexamic acid. They’re easy to use at home and help fade discoloration between treatments.

We’ll usually combine a few of these options based on your skin tone, pigmentation type, and how sensitive your skin is. Every treatment plan is customized.

How to Choose the Best Treatment for You

There’s no single best treatment across the board—it really depends on what’s causing the discoloration, how deep the pigment is, and how your skin responds. For example:

• If your pigmentation is mostly from acne scarring or post-inflammatory marks, a series of light chemical peels combined with pigment-correcting products usually works well.

• If you have melasma or hormonally triggered spots, a gentle but consistent approach using dermaplaning, pigment pads, and peels is often best.

• For sun spots or age spots, laser treatments tend to deliver faster, more noticeable results.

During your consultation, we’ll look closely at your skin and help you understand which route will work best—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is sun protection crucial during hyperpigmentation treatment?

Sun exposure, even indoors, can worsen hyperpigmentation. Blue light from screens and indoor lighting can contribute to dark spots. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) is essential for preventing further damage.

Can hyperpigmentation return after treatment—and how can I prevent recurrence?

Yes, hyperpigmentation can return if triggers like sun exposure or hormones aren’t managed. To prevent it, always use sunscreen, follow a gentle skincare routine, and consider maintenance treatments.

What is the best laser treatment for hyperpigmentation?

Fractional lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) are popular choices. The best option depends on your skin type and pigmentation severity—consult a dermatologist.
