How hyperpigmentation is treated at NewskinLA

Hyperpigmentation is excess melanin left behind by inflammation (post-acne marks), sun, or hormones (melasma-type patches). It sits at different depths, which is why one product rarely fixes it. The first visit identifies the type and depth; sun-triggered and post-acne marks respond fastest, hormonal patches are slower and need consistent maintenance.

The plan combines resurfacing to lift the pigmented layers (a lightening peel, retinol peel or Jessner, up to TCA for stubborn cases) with brightening facials that calm the melanin-producing cells, and a home routine built around SPF and a tyrosinase-inhibiting serum. Skipping the SPF undoes the work in a week.

Darker skin tones get a patch test and pre-peel prep before any medium peel, because the wrong peel on melanin-rich skin creates more pigmentation, not less

Hyperpigmentation treatment FAQ

How long does it take to fade dark spots?

Post-acne marks: 2 to 3 sessions over 2 to 3 months. Sun spots: similar. Hormonal patches: longer, with ongoing maintenance and strict SPF.

Which peel is safe for my skin tone?

Retinol and lightening peels carry the least pigmentation risk. Medium peels on darker skin need a patch test and prep, which Anna does before every one.

Will it come back?

Marks from a healed breakout won't return unless you break out again. Sun and hormonal pigmentation come back without daily SPF; that's the maintenance.

Do I need to buy products?

One SPF and one brightening serum matter. Anna will name them; where you buy is up to you.

Can I treat melasma?

Melasma-type patches can be improved and managed, not cured. Anna is honest about that at the consultation.

How much does hyperpigmentation treatment cost in Burbank?

Brightening facials and peels start at $[ ]; series pricing on each treatment page.
