Pigmentation

If your skin has patches that are darker, blotchy, or just uneven compared to the rest, you're far from alone, and there's a real path to evening things out. Pigmentation shows up for a lot of reasons, and what caused yours matters for what actually helps. We start by looking at your skin directly, so treatment is based on what's really going on.

Pigmentation refers to any change in your skin's natural color, most often an increase in melanin that shows up as darker patches, spots, or general unevenness. It can be triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation from a past breakout or injury, or genetics. Some of the most common forms have their own specific patterns, including age spots from cumulative sun exposure, melasma linked to hormonal triggers, and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind after a wound or breakout heals. Identifying which type you're dealing with is what determines the right approach.

Pigmentation isn't one condition, it's a symptom with several different causes, which is why identifying the right one matters before choosing a treatment. Our board-certified dermatologists combine that diagnostic background with advanced technology like Pico and Q-Switched lasers, backed by research informed care, so your treatment is matched to what's actually causing your specific pigmentation.
