Corrective Skincare for Dark Spots, Uneven Tone & Melasma

Hyperpigmentation isn’t random—it’s often triggered by inflammation, hormones, sun exposure, or past breakouts.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin production becomes overactive—most often triggered by inflammation..

Common causes include:

✔ Post-acne dark spots (PIH)
✔ Hormonal changes (melasma-prone pigmentation)
✔ UV + heat exposure (even without burning)
✔ Skin inflammation or irritation (picking, waxing, harsh products)
✔ Over-exfoliation + barrier disruption
✔ Certain medications + genetics (pigment-prone skin types)

Who Pigment Correction Is For

This is for you if you’re dealing with stubborn discoloration and want real correction—not guesswork.

✔ Dark spots that don’t fade
✔ Uneven skin tone or patchy discoloration
✔ Post-acne marks (PIH)
✔ Melasma or hormone-related pigmentation
✔ Sun spots or heat-triggered discoloration
✔ Skin that pigments easily after irritation

Your Pigment Correction Plan

Hyperpigmentation is not corrected in one treatment—it requires a strategic, guided approach.

Your plan may include:

✔ Targeted corrective peels
✔ Nano infusion to enhance product absorption
✔ Barrier-supporting treatments to maintain skin health
✔ Consistent treatment spacing for optimal results

This structured approach allows us to fade discoloration safely while preventing rebound pigmentation.

facial FAQs

Here are the most common hyperpigmentation treatment questions:

How long does it take to fade hyperpigmentation (dark spots)?

Most clients begin noticing improvement in tone and clarity within 4–6 weeks, but deeper or older pigment typically takes 8–12+ weeks for visible fading. Hyperpigmentation is a process, not a quick fix—especially for pigment-prone or melasma-prone skin. Consistency with treatments + homecare (especially SPF) is what creates long-term results.

What is the difference between hyperpigmentation and melasma?

Hyperpigmentation is a general term for darkening of the skin caused by excess melanin. Melasma is a specific type of hyperpigmentation that’s often triggered by hormones, heat, and sun exposure. Melasma is typically more recurring and requires a more strategic, low-inflammation approach—so we focus on barrier support, pigment regulation, and safe corrective care.

Is pigment correction safe for melanin-rich skin tones?

Yes — when performed correctly. At Dew+Glow, pigment correction is always customized based on your Fitzpatrick type, sensitivity level, pigment pattern, and skin history. We specialize in barrier-first corrective treatments and choose options that are safe for Fitzpatrick III–VI, minimizing the risk of irritation and rebound pigmentation.

Can chemical peels make hyperpigmentation worse?

They can if they’re too aggressive or not matched properly to your skin tone and sensitivity. Hyperpigmentation often gets worse when the skin is overly inflamed or the barrier is compromised. That’s why we carefully assess your Fitzpatrick type and choose the peel that supports correction with the lowest risk possible.

Do I need multiple treatments?

Yes. Most pigment correction requires a series or structured plan for best results. Hyperpigmentation forms in layers and requires gradual correction to avoid irritation or rebound pigmentation, and is the reason it cannot be removed in one treatment.

What should I avoid after a peel or pigment treatment?

To protect your results (and avoid rebound pigment), we recommend avoiding:

direct sun exposure
heat (sauna, excessive sweating, hot yoga)
picking or exfoliating the skin
active ingredients not approved in your aftercare plan
