Hyperpigmentation happens when melanin production becomes overactive — 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)

Hyperpigmentation Treatments at Dew+Glow aesthetics
Because hyperpigmentation isn’t one-size-fits-all, we offer pigment correction treatments matched to your Fitzpatrick type—so you get visible results without unnecessary irritation or risk.
MelaPro Cold Peel (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)
Advanced pigment correction designed for melanin-rich and pigment-prone skin. MelaPro focuses on regulating melanin activity and calming inflammation to improve uneven tone, dark spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — without aggressive resurfacing. For best results, pigment correction should be done as a guided journey (not a one-time treatment). Our MelaPro series is designed to progressively fade discoloration, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce recurrence triggers.
✔ Ideal for Fitzpatrick IV–VI (melanin-rich / pigment-prone skin)
✔ Targets PIH (post-acne dark marks), uneven tone, stubborn dark spots
✔ Barrier-supportive pigment correction (not harsh resurfacing)
✔ Low-inflammation approach designed to reduce pigment rebound risk
✔ Minimal to no downtime (varies by skin sensitivity)
✔ Series-designed for progressive fading + stable long-term results
✔ Ideal for clients committed to a complete pigment correction journey
KrX LaZer Peel (Fitzpatrick I–III)
A resurfacing-style peel designed to brighten and improve tone while addressing discoloration at the surface level. The LaZer Peel is a great option for clients with lighter Fitzpatrick types who want a stronger renewal approach for pigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture.
✔ Ideal for Fitzpatrick I–III (lower pigment-risk skin types)
✔ Helps improve sun spots, surface discoloration & uneven skin tone
✔ Promotes a brighter-looking complexion with a more refined texture
✔ Stronger renewal approach for clients who tolerate resurfacing activity
✔ Great option for pigmentation concerns paired with dullness + roughness

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.
Which peel is best for me — MelaPro or LaZer?
It depends on your skin tone and pigment risk:
-
MelaPro Cold Peel is designed for Fitzpatrick IV–VI and pigment-prone skin that needs correction without aggressive resurfacing.
-
KrX LaZer Peel is best suited for Fitzpatrick I–III and offers stronger surface renewal for clients who can tolerate resurfacing activity.
If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the safest option after a consultation.
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
