Hyperpigmentation: What It Is and How Core Aesthetic Can Help You Fade It
Dark spots, sun damage, melasma, or post-acne marks—if you’ve noticed uneven patches of pigmentation on your skin, you’re not alone. Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, and while it can be stubborn, it’s absolutely treatable. At Core Aesthetic, we take a personalized and results-driven approach to help you achieve smoother, more radiant, and evenly toned skin.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin (the pigment responsible for your skin color) is produced in certain areas, creating dark spots or patches. This can happen due to:
Sun exposure
Hormonal changes (like melasma)
Post-inflammatory pigmentation (from acne or skin trauma)
Aging and environmental stress
While it’s typically harmless, hyperpigmentation can affect how we feel about our skin—and that’s reason enough to treat it.
How Core Aesthetic Treats Hyperpigmentation
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to hyperpigmentation. That’s why our providers begin with a thorough skin consultation and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique skin tone, type, and goals. Here’s how we target unwanted pigment:
1. Medical-Grade Skincare Products
We recommend clinical-strength products with ingredients like brightening peptides, retinols, and vitamin C to gradually fade pigment and prevent new spots from forming.
2. Chemical Peels
Peels like the VI Peel Precision Plus are specifically designed to target stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and sun damage. These powerful treatments exfoliate and lift pigment while renewing the skin’s surface.
3. Microneedling with Brightening Serums
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin to boost collagen and enhance serum absorption. When paired with brightening agents, it helps reduce discoloration while improving skin texture.
4. IPL Photofacials (Lumecca IPL)
For sun spots, age spots, and broken capillaries, Lumecca IPL is a go-to treatment. It uses intense pulsed light to target pigment beneath the skin’s surface, visibly reducing discoloration with minimal downtime.
5. Custom Prescription Medications from Our In-House Pharmacy
For deeper or more persistent pigmentation, we can provide custom-compounded prescription creams formulated on-site, so you leave your appointment with the exact medication your skin needs—no waiting or guesswork.
