Hyperpigmentation Care

Even Skin Tone Solutions Tailored to You

At Springs Dermatology MD, we understand how frustrating it can be when dark spots linger, treatments feel slow, and new discoloration seems to appear overnight.

Whether you're dealing with stubborn melasma, sun damage, or uneven skin tone that's difficult to cover, our board-certified dermatologists are here to guide you with safe, personalized solutions designed for lasting results.

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to patches or areas of skin that become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, acne scars, and certain medications. It can appear on the face, neck, hands, and other parts of the body.

Although hyperpigmentation is not harmful, it can be frustrating and persistent. With the right treatment plan and expert guidance, dark spots and uneven skin tone can be visibly reduced. The most common type is melasma, which causes larger dark patches often triggered by hormonal changes. Other common types of hyperpigmentation include sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and dark patches caused by medication.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At Springs Dermatology MD, we take a 360-degree approach to treating hyperpigmentation — combining medical expertise with cosmetic treatments to reduce discoloration, restore skin health, and promote an even, radiant complexion.

MEDCIAL APPROACH

We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the cause of your hyperpigmentation and recommend safe, effective solutions. Our medical treatments include:

Prescription topical therapies to lighten dark spots and regulate melanin production

Personalized skincare regimens with dermatologist-recommended products

Oral medications for hormonal-related hyperpigmentation when necessary

Lifestyle and sun protection recommendations to prevent future discoloration

COSMETIC APPROACH

In addition to medical therapies, we offer advanced cosmetic treatments designed to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and enhance radiance:

Chemical peels to exfoliate and fade discoloration

Microneedling to expedite pigment break up and stimulate collagen for a more even skin tone

Laser treatments (when appropriate) to target stubborn pigmentation safely

Hydrating facials and antioxidant-rich serums to support skin repair and glow
