What is Hyperpigmentation?

So, what exactly is hyperpigmentation? Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of skin that become darker than the surrounding tissue due to excess melanin production. This can result from various triggers, including:

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Occurs after skin trauma such as acne lesions, insect bites, surgery, or other injuries. PIH is especially common in individuals with medium to dark skin tones and can be stubborn to treat.

Melasma: A hormonally driven form of hyperpigmentation, melasma often appears as symmetrical patches on the face. It is frequently triggered by pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormone fluctuations, and is exacerbated by sun exposure.

Sun Damage: Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause sun spots or “age spots,” particularly on areas like the face, chest, neck, and hands. These spots tend to accumulate over time and are a visible sign of photoaging.

At our Oakland studio, we’re all about gentle yet powerful treatments that play nice with every skin type—and the best part? Zero downtime! Our customized plans are designed to target the root causes of hyperpigmentation, boost your skin’s natural health, and keep unwanted discoloration from making a comeback. It’s skincare that works hard so you don’t have to.

Some of our treatments for hyperpigmentation include:

Caviar Peel: The combination of Vitamin C and caviar helps to brighten dark spots while evening out skin tone. By promoting cell turnover, the All-In-One Caviar Peel aids in fading sun spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more uniform complexion.

Jet Plasma: Jet Plasma works for hyperpigmentation by delivering cold plasma energy deep into the skin, which breaks down excess melanin and stimulates cellular regeneration. This process helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone, all without causing trauma or requiring downtime.

Custom protocols: Our custom protocols mix science and skin-loving ingredients to zap away hyperpigmentation and keep those pesky spots from coming back. We are all about gentle yet powerful treatments that play nice with every skin type—and the best part? Zero downtime!

Areas We Treat For Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation can affect more than just the face. We offer treatments for:

  • Face: The face is the most common area for hyperpigmentation, often resulting from acne scars, sun damage, hormonal changes, or post-inflammatory responses.

  • Chest: The chest (décolletage) is particularly prone to sun-induced pigmentation, as well as signs of aging like fine lines and skin laxity. Photodamaged skin here often presents as mottled pigmentation and rough texture.

  • Neck: Neck hyperpigmentation can result from sun exposure, hormonal changes, friction, or underlying health conditions.

  • Hands: Hands are frequently exposed to environmental stressors, making them susceptible to sun spots, age spots, and general darkening.

  • Body: Hyperpigmentation can also affect the arms, legs, back, and other body areas, often as a result of sun exposure, post-inflammatory changes (from injury, surgery, or insect bites), or hormonal fluctuations.

No matter where your discoloration appears, we have solutions to help restore your skin’s natural beauty.

Why Choose Non-Invasive Treatments for Hyperpigmentation?

Traditional hyperpigmentation treatments—such as prescription hydroquinone, retinoids, or aggressive chemical peels—can cause irritation, dryness, or even worsen pigmentation in sensitive or richly pigmented skin. Our protocols at LV Aesthetic are designed to minimize these risks, providing effective results without the side effects or recovery time of more invasive procedures.
