Hyperpigmentation—whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or post-inflammatory responses—can be a frustrating skin concern. At Refresh Med Spa L.A., we specialize in advanced treatments to reduce unwanted pigmentation and restore a smooth, even-toned complexion.
Topical Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
Tranexamic Acid (TXA)
Tranexamic acid is gaining popularity for treating melasma and stubborn pigmentation. It works by inhibiting blood vessel formation that can contribute to excessive pigmentation. It’s often used in serums and oral supplements to gradually fade discoloration.
Kojic Acid
Derived from fungi, Kojic acid inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. It’s a gentle yet effective ingredient often combined with vitamin C or niacinamide in brightening serums.
Glycolic Acid
A type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid exfoliates the top layer of the skin, helping to fade hyperpigmentation over time. It’s commonly found in chemical peels and professional-grade skincare products.
Hydroquinone
Considered the gold standard for treating stubborn dark spots, hydroquinone works by blocking melanin production. It’s often used in combination treatments but should be used carefully under professional guidance to avoid overuse.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels contain ingredients like salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, helping to resurface the skin by removing dead cells and reducing hyperpigmentation. Different strengths are available based on skin type and concerns.
Advanced Device Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
Clear + Brilliant
A fractional laser that enhances overall skin tone and stimulates collagen, reducing pigmentation while refining skin texture. It’s a great option for mild discoloration and improving skin luminosity.
Picosecond Lasers
Picosecond lasers deliver ultra-fast pulses to break up stubborn pigmentation deep in the skin. These lasers are highly effective for tattoo removal, sun spots, and resistant pigmentation like melasma.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL uses broad-spectrum light energy to target and break down pigmented spots, especially sun-induced damage. It’s ideal for freckles, age spots, and mild to moderate hyperpigmentation.
Clear Skin Laser & Smooth Skin Laser
These innovative lasers focus on reducing pigmentation and boosting collagen production, improving skin tone while refining texture. These treatments are commonly used for acne-related pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation.
BBL (BroadBand Light)
BBL works similarly to IPL but delivers light energy deeper, stimulating collagen while treating pigmented lesions, redness, and uneven skin tone.
Halo Laser
Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface the skin while reducing hyperpigmentation. It’s excellent for sun damage, melasma, and overall skin renewal.
