Understanding the cause

Understanding the underlying cause of pigmentation is the first step in creating an effective treatment plan. We review your skin’s history and these considerations to determine next steps:

• Sun Exposure: UV radiation is a leading cause of pigmentation, including sunspots, freckles and melasma.

• Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma are often linked to pregnancy, contraceptives, or hormonal imbalances.

• Hyperpigmentation: Associated with inflammation, acne, or trauma to the skin.

• Hypopigmentation: Conditions like vitiligo or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation.

Making a Treatment Plan

The damage to your skin didn’t happen overnight, so it’s important to remember that the improvements to your skin after receiving treatment will also take time. After evaluating your skin we also take into consideration your timeline, the degree of downtime (healing) you are comfortable, and your budget. With all these factors in mind, we will make a recommendation that may include laser, light-based treatment (ie IPL/BBL), and at-home skincare products, to restore your skin’s youthful glow and even tone. Often a series or combination of treatments will be recommended in order reach best results.

Laser & Light-Based Treatments
We have found lasers and light-based treatments to be the best way to treat most types of pigmentation. The advances in these technologies in the last several years means patients can expect better outcomes, shorter downtime, with fewer complications than previous generations.

Lasers deliver controlled energy to the skin, promoting cellular regeneration while targeting unwanted pigmentation, such as sunspots, age spots, and melasma. They also improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and texture irregularities. Light-based treatments, such as IPL or BBL, use a broad range of wavelengths that allows us to perform targeted treatments for a variety of skin conditions.

Our office has a wide range of devices, including BBL, Moxi, Halo and more, so we are able to utilize the right one for your skin, selecting just the right wavelength to generate the best results. We are experts in combining lasers and light-based technology to create customized treatment plans with less downtime than if they were used alone.

Treating Skin of Colour

Treating unwanted pigmentation and irregularities in skin of colour requires a specialized approach to ensure safety and effectiveness while minimizing risks. Melanin-rich skin is more prone to side effects like hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and scarring if treated incorrectly. At our clinic, we prioritize tailored, safe treatments designed for diverse skin tones.
