Hyperpigmentation Treatment Houston, TX

Offered at our convenient location in Houston, TX

Many people struggle with noticeable dark spots or patches on their skin. Known as hyperpigmentation, this condition can be caused by a wide variety of factors ranging from simple sun exposure to pregnancy. There are a multitude of creams, serums, and DIY methods that claim to treat and improve hyperpigmentation, but they are rarely effective or long-lasting and can create ongoing expense. Light therapy and laser treatments for hyperpigmentation have proven to be incredibly safe and effective, often after just a single session.

At PS MedSpa, our strategy for our patients is multi-faceted. We believe that aesthetic improvements, as well as overall well-being, can be achieved via many different paths, and we are passionate about coming alongside each patient to determine what the best option is for them. Medical director Dr. Sam Sukkar and our entire staff are committed to providing the safest and most effective Houston hyperpigmentation treatment.

About Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a term that generally refers to small spots or marks on the skin that become darker than the surrounding skin. There are a wide variety of specific conditions that are considered hyperpigmentation, and they have different causes. Age spots, sun spots, moles, certain types of scars, melasma, and freckles are all different kinds of hyperpigmentation. These can be caused by sun exposure, aging, hormones, or simply genetics.

  • Improved confidence
  • Spend less money on creams and serums

  • Short downtime and non-surgical treatment

Treatment Options

This condition can be treated using multiple different methods. Your skin care provider will help determine which one is best for your unique skin concerns.

sciton laser

The Sciton Laser uses BroadBand Light (BBL) phototherapy to precisely target dark spots or patches and make them lighter and less noticeable by removing melanin. This treatment can also smooth the skin, shrink pores, and provide overall better vibrancy. Benefits of Sciton laser treatment include low downtime, with most patients returning to their regular routine the same day with some minor redness or swelling lasting only one to two weeks.

laser skin resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is an ablative treatment that works by essentially removing a top layer of skin to promote healing and rejuvenation. When this treatment is focused on a small area of hyperpigmentation, it is extremely effective in creating evenness and improving the appearance of the skin. This method can also tone and tighten the skin.

VI Peel Precision Plus

VI Peel Precision Plus is our most popular treatment, this medium-depth powerhouse peel works to suppress melanogenesis—the production of melanin—at the source while promoting rapid cell turnover for more even and bright skin tone. Resurfacing action reveals brighter, renewed skin for results in 7 days.
