Understanding Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin is produced due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin trauma. Common types include age spots, sun-induced freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Addressing hyperpigmentation effectively requires identifying its root cause to determine the best treatment plan for each client.

Laser Pigmentation Removal

Laser pigmentation removal is one of the most potent and targeted methods for reducing pigmentation. Using specific wavelengths of light, lasers break down excess pigment, fading dark spots and promoting a more even skin tone. In Brisbane, where sun exposure is prevalent, laser for hyperpigmentation is especially beneficial for treating sunspots, age spots, and other sun-related pigmentation. Picosecond lasers are also available to address stubborn pigmentation, like melasma, with high precision and minimal risk of rebound pigmentation.

Comprehensive Hyperpigmentation Treatment Options

While laser pigmentation removal is an efficient choice, combining laser with other treatment modalities often yields the best results. At Pearl Medispa, we offer a range of treatments to address hyperpigmentation from multiple angles:

  • Pigmentation Facials and Chemical Peels: Treatments like our Illuminate Pigmentation Facial and chemical peels remove damaged surface layers and help lighten pigmented spots. For optimal results, hyperpigmentation treatments with Jessner, TCA, and Vitamin A peels can be combined with skin-brightening creams.

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL or BBL treatments target sun-induced pigmentation, reducing redness from capillaries and brown spots in a single session. While effective for many forms of pigmentation, IPL is best suited for lighter skin tones and not recommended for PIH.

  • Pigmentation Creams and Prescription Options: Creams containing hydroquinone, along with Vitamins A, B, and C, can effectively lighten dark spots and treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma, often used with other treatments.

Addressing Specific Hyperpigmentation Concerns

  • Melasma: Melasma is a challenging condition requiring a tailored approach. At Pearl Medispa, treatments may include gentle peels, prescription creams, and specific lasers that use low heat to avoid pigmentation rebound.

  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Common in darker skin types, PIH often benefits from pigmentation creams and chemical peels. In these cases, IPL and specific lasers should be avoided to prevent pigmentation from being aggravated.
