What is hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to dark patches or spots on the skin caused by excess melanin production. Common types include:

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – From acne, injuries, or irritation
• Sunspots (solar lentigines) – Caused by UV exposure
• Melasma – Often triggered by hormones or sun exposure
• Freckles – Genetic and worsened by sun exposure

Proper diagnosis is key, as different pigmentation types require different treatment approaches.

Effective treatments for hyperpigmentation at VOS Skin Clinic

We use advanced technology and safe formulations to brighten your skin without causing irritation or rebound pigmentation. Popular options include:

Pico Laser / Nd:YAG Laser – Breaks down melanin in pigmented areas without damaging surrounding skin. Safe for all skin tones.

Laser Toning – A gentle method that gradually fades dark spots and evens out skin tone.

Chemical Peels (AHA, PHA, Mandelic Acid) – Light exfoliation treatments that remove pigmented surface cells and improve brightness.

Brightening Skin Boosters – Micro-injections of glutathione, vitamin C, and antioxidants to support even skin tone and glow.

Topical Medical-Grade Creams – Prescription formulas to safely fade pigmentation and prevent recurrence.

Who should consider hyperpigmentation treatment?

These treatments are great for people who:

• Have visible dark spots or discoloration
• Suffer from acne scars or melasma
• Want a brighter, more even complexion
• Prefer non-invasive options with little to no downtime
• Have tried at-home products with limited results

What to expect during treatment

• Consultation and skin analysis
• Customized treatment plan
• Laser, peel, or booster session (20–40 minutes)
• Calming post-treatment care and skincare advice

Treatments are usually comfortable and have minimal side effects like mild redness or dryness.

Aftercare tips for best results

• Use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily—sun exposure can reverse your progress
• Avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubs
• Follow the clinic’s skincare recommendations
• Be consistent—pigmentation fades gradually over multiple sessions
• Stay hydrated and use gentle, brightening products at home

Is it safe for all skin tones?

Yes. At VOS Skin Clinic, we specialize in pigmentation treatments for all skin types, including darker and melanin-rich skin. We carefully select lasers and peeling solutions to avoid over-lightening, burns, or rebound pigmentation.
