What is pigmentation?
Pigmentation is the natural coloring process of your skin, which is determined by the pigment melanin and how much it is produced. When melanin production is disrupted or distributed unevenly in the skin, the skin will change its color. This change typically results in hyperpigmentation, a common form of skin pigmentation disorder, during which some patches of the skin become darker due to enhanced melanin production. Causes of hyperpigmentation include sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and different lifestyle factors.
How does pigmentation reduction treatment work?
Face pigmentation treatments work by targeting the areas with excess melanin in the skin, reducing the visibility of dark spots and uneven coloring. However, depending on which hyperpigmentation treatment you choose, the workings of the solution can vary from targeting deeper melanin deposits to removing darkened skin layers.
Skin pigmentation treatments we offer
Laser treatment for pigmentation
Laser treatment for pigmentation is a non-invasive method that uses a laser to target melanin in the skin. The high-precision laser beams break down the melanin in the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues and brightening the darkened skin. Depending on your needs, multiple sessions might be necessary for optimal results. The treatments are safe and effective, with minimal downtime needed. At Beauté Concept by CSHP, we offer Spectra Laser Treatment.
Mesotherapy for pigmentation
During mesotherapy pigmentation treatments, your doctor, through microinjections, will inject a cocktail of vitamins, enzymes, and brightening agents directly into your skin. The ingredients then will target excellent melanin production and stimulate cell turnover, brightening the darkened skin patches and restoring the even tone of the skin. Mesotherapy treatments offer gradual improvement and your doctor may recommend several treatment sessions for better results.
Chemical peel for pigmentation
Chemical peel for pigmentation treatment involves applying a chemical solution to your skin, which will then exfoliate the skin’s outer layer, removing the pigmented skin. Depending on the peel’s strength, chemical peels can target both superficial and deep layers of your skin and are an effective solution for hyperpigmentation concerns of varying severity.

What causes hyperpigmentation?
The main cause of hyperpigmentation is the excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. One of the most common causes of hyperpigmentation is prolonged sun exposure, which can trigger your skin to produce more melanin as a protective response. Hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy, inflammation, skin injuries, and acne can lead to hyperpigmentation. Other factors can include genetics, certain medications, and health conditions that can affect sun pigmentation.
Things to avoid
To reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation in the future, it’s recommended that you avoid:
- Excessive exposure to the sun to not trigger melanin production in the skin
- Scratching or picking the skin, as skin trauma can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Using overly harsh skincare products, as can irritate the skin
- Skipping sun protection, which can worsen existing pigmentation
Contraindications
- Skin inflammations and active infections in the treatment area
- Allergies to the ingredients of any of the used products or a history of acute allergies
