Hyperpigmentation in Bellevue, WA

Reveal clearer, more even skin with personalized hyperpigmentation treatments at NewSkin.

Restore a Bright, Even Skin Tone

Dark spots, patches of uneven pigmentation, and skin discoloration can make your skin look older than it is. These skin concerns can be frustrating and difficult to treat, often leaving you self-conscious about your complexion. Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, leading to dark spots, sunspots, or melasma. At NewSkin in Bellevue, we specialize in hyperpigmentation treatment with advanced solutions tailored to your unique skin type and concerns, helping you achieve a clearer, brighter, and more even skin tone.

Understanding Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that results from an overproduction of melanin, which causes darker patches of skin to form. This discoloration can happen for various reasons, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, acne scarring, or certain medications. Hyperpigmentation can present as dark spots (age spots or liver spots), melasma, or post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne or other skin trauma.

Sun exposure is the leading cause of hyperpigmentation, as UV rays trigger melanin production in the skin. Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy or from birth control, can also lead to a specific type of hyperpigmentation called melasma. Additionally, injury or inflammation to the skin, such as from acne or cuts, can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). While hyperpigmentation is not harmful, it can impact your appearance and be difficult to treat without professional help.

Treatment Options for Hyperpigmentation

At NewSkin, we offer a range of effective treatments to help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and improve the overall tone and clarity of your skin. Our expert team will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan based on the type and severity of your hyperpigmentation.

BroadBand Light (BBL)

This non-invasive light therapy targets pigmented areas, breaking up dark spots and sun damage to reveal a more even complexion. BBL effectively treats sunspots, age spots, and pigmentation caused by sun exposure.

VI Peel

A powerful chemical peel that removes the top layers of damaged skin, the VI Peel helps to fade dark spots, melasma, and acne scars, revealing smoother, clearer skin underneath. It’s ideal for patients looking to address more severe hyperpigmentation.

Moxi Laser

A gentle laser treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin, the Moxi Laser is effective at targeting superficial pigmentation and improving overall skin tone.

HydraFacial

For patients with mild hyperpigmentation, HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, and serum infusion to improve skin clarity and brightness, leaving a radiant complexion.

SkinPen Microneedling

By creating micro-injuries in the skin, SkinPen microneedling encourages collagen production and helps improve the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scars.

Each of these treatments offers unique benefits, and our experienced providers will help you choose the best option for your skin type and goals. Visit our treatment pages for more information, or schedule a consultation to explore the right approach for you.
