Hyperpigmentation

Restoring Even Tone & Brighter, Healthier Skin

Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin is produced in the skin, leading to dark spots, uneven tone, or patchy discoloration. It may develop after acne, sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal changes—and often becomes more noticeable over time.

At Metzner Aesthetics, treatment for hyperpigmentation focuses on correcting existing discoloration while preventing recurrence, using a layered, skin-health–first approach rather than aggressive resurfacing.

​

A Personalized Approach to Pigment Correction

 

No two cases of hyperpigmentation are the same. Successful treatment depends on:

• Skin type and tone

• Depth and cause of pigment

• History of inflammation or acne

• Sun exposure and lifestyle factors

Treatment plans may involve a single focused modality or a combination approach, with gradual improvement over time to ensure safety and durability of results.

​

Chemical Peels (VI Peel®)

VI Peel is a cornerstone treatment for pigment correction. VI Peels are medical-grade, controlled-depth peels designed to safely improve discoloration while supporting overall skin health.

VI Peels can help:

• Fade sun damage and dark spots

• Improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Brighten uneven skin tone

• Accelerate cellular turnover

Formulations are selected carefully to match skin type and pigmentation pattern.

​

Microneedling

Microneedling helps improve hyperpigmentation by stimulating collagen production and encouraging healthy skin regeneration. When combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), the skin’s healing response is enhanced using your body’s own growth factors.

Microneedling can:

• Improve uneven tone and texture

• Support pigment normalization

• Strengthen the skin barrier

• Enhance overall radiance

This treatment is often performed as a series for best results.

​

Red Light Therapy (LightStim® ProPanel)

Red light therapy supports pigment treatment by improving skin health at the cellular level.

It can help:

• Reduce inflammation that triggers pigment production

• Support collagen and skin repair

• Enhance recovery after peels or microneedling

• Improve overall skin clarity and resilience

Red light therapy is commonly used as a complementary treatment within a broader pigment-correction plan.

​

Custom Skincare & Prescription Guidance

Long-term control of hyperpigmentation depends heavily on daily skincare and prevention.

Custom skincare plans may include:

• Prescription topical medications to regulate pigment production

• Medical-grade brightening and barrier-support products

• Structured AM/PM routines

• Sun-protection strategies critical to preventing recurrence

Consistency and guidance are essential—hyperpigmentation often returns without proper maintenance.

​

What to Expect

• Pigment correction is gradual, not instant

• Most patients require a series of treatments

• Results continue to improve as skin renews

• Maintenance skincare and sun protection are critical

A Thoughtful, Skin-First Philosophy

At Metzner Aesthetics, hyperpigmentation is treated conservatively and strategically. Every plan is designed with attention to:

• Skin tone and sensitivity

• Risk of rebound pigmentation

• Long-term skin health

• Natural, even results

The goal is clearer, brighter, more even skin—without compromising skin integrity.
