With over 20 years of experience in The Woodlands and licensed medical providers on-site, you’ll get expert assessments and personalized treatments—not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Is Hyperpigmentation & What Triggers It?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces excess melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) or retains pigment in certain areas, creating visible dark patches or spots.
Common triggers include:
- Sun exposure and UV damage
- Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth‐control use)
- Post-inflammatory darkening (after acne, injury or skin irritation)
- Genetic predisposition and certain medications
Left untreated, hyperpigmentation may persist or deepen—making early evaluation and intervention important.
Signs & Symptoms That Suggest You Could Benefit From a Hyperpigmentation Treatment
You may want to talk to us if you notice:
- Dark patches or deeper spots on your face, neck, hands or other exposed areas
- Sun spots, age spots or uneven complexion despite general skincare
- Melasma (irregular brown/grey patches) or post‐acne pigment marks
- Recurring dark marks after breakouts or skin irritation
- You’ve tried over-the-counter products with minimal improvement or you’d prefer professional, medically-supervised care

Potential Benefits You Might Experience
Engaging in a properly supervised hyperpigmentation treatment, you may notice:
- Fewer dark spots and a more even skin tone
- Reduction of sun/damage spots, post-acne marks or melasma patches
- Improved skin texture and clarity
- Enhanced confidence and less concern about pigmentation visible in photographs or natural light
Remember: outcomes vary by individual, and deeper pigment may need longer time & maintenance.
Our Hyperpigmentation Treatment Program — What to Expect
1. Comprehensive Assessment
- Review of your skin history: sun exposure, prior treatments, acne/irritation history, lifestyle, skin‐type/ethnicity.
- Physical skin exam, possibly including Wood’s-lamp evaluation or specialized imaging to assess pigment depth.
- Discussion of realistic goals, timeline, treatment options and preventive strategy (sunscreen, skincare maintenance).
2. Personalized Hyperpigmentation Treatment Plan
Depending on your specifics, treatments may include:
- Prescription or medical-grade topicals: e.g., retinoids, vitamin C, azelaic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone under supervision.
- In-office procedures: chemical peels, laser or light therapies, microdermabrasion or microneedling for pigment removal and tone correction.
- Ongoing support: strict sun protection regimen, lifestyle adjustments (diet, hormones, skincare) to prevent recurrence.
3. Follow-Up & Maintenance
- Regular check-ins to monitor progress, adjust treatments and refine your regimen.
- Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the depth and type of pigment (e.g., melasma may require longer care).
- Long-term maintenance: even after visible improvement, prevention (sunscreen, protective habits) remains essential to minimize relapse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Complete elimination isn’t always guaranteed, especially for deep‐type pigment like melasma. But many clients experience substantial improvement in tone, clarity and appearance.
It depends on the pigment type, skin depth, prior history and your skin’s response. Some may see visible change after 1-2 treatments; others may require 3-6 or more, plus ongoing maintenance.
Yes, but special care is required because some procedures (e.g., aggressive lasers or deeper peels) carry higher risk of rebound pigmentation in darker skin. Our providers will tailor everything safely.
Yes, sun protection is the foundational component of treatment and maintenance. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, hats and avoiding midday sun are essential.
In mild cases, topical skincare (vitamin C, retinoids, azelaic acid) can help—but often in-office support is necessary for best, lasting results.
