Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Troy, MI

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that causes certain areas of the skin to appear darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when excess melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, is produced in specific areas.

Hyperpigmentation can appear as sun spots, age spots, acne marks, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or uneven skin tone. While typically harmless, these darkened areas can affect skin clarity and overall complexion.

Advanced treatments such as PicoFY® laser can help improve unwanted pigmentation and restore a brighter, more even appearance.

Sun Damage

Years of UV exposure can trigger excess pigment production, leading to sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone.

Acne Marks

Dark spots left behind after acne breakouts can linger for months and may become more noticeable over time.

Skin Injury & Inflammation

Cuts, burns, rashes, and other forms of skin irritation can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Aging & Environmental Exposure

As the skin ages, accumulated sun exposure and environmental stressors can contribute to discoloration and uneven pigmentation.

Note: Certain pigmentation conditions, such as melasma, may also be influenced by hormonal and genetic factors. Learn more about our Melasma Treatment options.

PicoFY® uses advanced picosecond laser technology to target unwanted pigmentation with ultra-short bursts of energy.

These rapid pulses break pigment into tiny particles that can be naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system. Because PicoFY® relies on rapid energy delivery rather than excessive heat, it can effectively target pigmentation while minimizing unnecessary heat exposure to surrounding skin.

This advanced approach helps improve skin clarity, brighten the complexion, and support a more even skin tone.

PicoFY® treatments can be customized for a wide range of skin tones and are suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-VI, making them an excellent option for many patients seeking pigmentation correction.
