Skin pigmentation issues, such as age spots, melasma, and sun spots, are common concerns that can affect the appearance of your skin. These pigmentation irregularities occur when melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, is produced unevenly.

What It Treats
Skin pigmentation concerns may present as:
Age Spots (Liver Spots): Flat, dark spots commonly caused by sun exposure.
Sun Spots: Dark spots that appear after prolonged sun exposure, often on the face, shoulders, and hands.
Melasma: Brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the face, caused by hormonal changes or sun exposure.
Freckles: Small, flat brown spots that are often genetic or caused by sun exposure.
Understanding Skin Pigmentation
Pigmentation irregularities occur when there’s an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Melanin can become concentrated in specific areas, creating uneven patches of skin color. Factors that contribute to pigmentation changes include:
- Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun can stimulate excess melanin production, resulting in sun spots or age spots.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control, and hormonal fluctuations can cause melasma, a form of pigmentation that typically appears on the face.
- Genetics: Freckles and certain other pigmentation issues can be inherited.
- Skin Inflammation: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur after an injury or skin irritation heals.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Skin Pigmentation Treatment in Arlington
Dermestetics offers various treatment options to target pigmentation issues and restore an even skin tone. After a thorough consultation, our team will recommend a customized treatment plan that aligns with your skin’s unique needs.
What does the treatment involve?
- Laser Therapy: Advanced laser treatments target excess pigmentation by breaking up melanin and encouraging skin regeneration.
- Chemical Peels: These exfoliating treatments remove the top layer of skin, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin underneath.
- Topical Treatments: Prescription-strength creams, such as hydroquinone or retinoids, can lighten hyperpigmentation and prevent further dark spots.
- Microneedling: This treatment encourages collagen production while improving pigmentation by evenly distributing melanin.
How long will the treatment take?
The duration of each treatment session may depend on the specific treatment plan and the area of the body being treated. Most patients see visible improvements in their skin within a few sessions, and full results typically emerge over a period of weeks or months, depending on the severity of the pigmentation issues.
Is skin pigmentation treatment right for you?
Skin pigmentation treatments are ideal for individuals who want to reduce dark spots, uneven skin tone, or discoloration. Professional care can provide more targeted results if you’ve tried over-the-counter treatments with limited success.
How do we monitor progress?
To ensure your treatment is effective, we schedule follow-up consultations to track your skin’s progress. We make adjustments as needed through in-person or virtual appointments to optimize results. We are dedicated to helping you achieve clear, even-toned skin with minimal discomfort.
