Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that appear darker due to excess melanin production. Common forms include melasma, age spots, sun spots on the face, and dark spots on the skin caused by acne, inflammation, or UV exposure.
Melasma, often called the mask of pregnancy, is a type of hyperpigmentation commonly triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure. It appears as brown facial spots or dark patches on the face, often across the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. While harmless, these conditions can cause skin-tone spots and uneven texture, which can impact confidence.
At Glo Med Aesthetics in Nevada City, CA, we offer advanced melasma treatments that safely target excess pigmentation to restore clearer, brighter, and more even skin.
Dark spots and uneven skin complexion develop when the skin produces too much melanin. Common triggers include:
Recognizing your triggers helps our specialists design a treatment plan that balances your skin tone and enhances radiance.
Our comprehensive hyperpigmentation treatments use gentle resurfacing, pigment correction, and collagen stimulation for lasting results and a healthy glow.
Our Most Effective Treatments Include:
Gently exfoliate dull or damaged layers to reduce dark spots on skin and restore an even tone.
A specialty peel that blends brightening agents to fade brown facial spots and age spots while boosting radiance.
A non-laser thermal treatment ideal for melasma and dark patches on the face. It safely improves tone with minimal downtime.
Each treatment plan is customized for your skin type and goals. Most patients see noticeable improvement after a few sessions, with continued fading as new, healthy skin cells surface.
Our melasma treatment before and after results show a visible reduction in discoloration and improved luminosity. Skin appears clearer, smoother, and more even in tone.
Mild redness or flaking may occur after treatment, but recovery is typically quick. Protecting your skin from sunlight and following post-care instructions helps maintain results and prevent recurrence.
After treating hyperpigmentation, maintaining your results is key to preventing dark spots, melasma, or sun damage from returning. Consistent sun protection and skincare habits will keep your complexion bright year-round.
Professional treatments such as chemical peels, unicorn peel, or Tixel® 2 fade dark spots by accelerating cell turnover and reducing melanin buildup.
The mask of pregnancy (melasma) often develops during the second or third trimester when hormonal changes increase melanin activity.
Balancing hormones and treating inflammation with targeted skincare and professional treatments can reduce breakouts and prevent hormonal skin spots.
