Pigmentation Concerns & Treatment Options
Uneven skin tone, sun spots, and melasma are common pigmentation issues. We offer professional treatments to help you achieve brighter, clearer skin.
Pigmentation concerns arise when melanin — the pigment responsible for skin color — is produced unevenly. This can result in dark patches, spots, or an overall uneven complexion. At Skin Care Laser YXE, we treat a variety of pigmentation issues with safe, customized solutions using medical-grade laser, microneedling, and chemical peel technology.
Common Pigmentation Concerns
- Sun Spots: Darkened areas caused by UV exposure, often appearing on the face, hands, and chest.
- Melasma: Symmetrical brown patches, often hormone-related and triggered by sun exposure.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left behind after acne or injury.
- Freckles: Small, scattered brown spots caused by genetics and sun exposure.
- Age Spots: Also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, these increase with age and sun exposure.
