Pigmentation Treatment
Even Tone. Brighter Confidence
At Herndon Dermatology, we understand how pigmentation issues can affect not only your skin’s appearance but also your confidence. Our expert dermatologists offer advanced pigmentation treatments that target discoloration and restore a smoother, more radiant complexion. With personalized care, we help you achieve healthier skin that reflects your natural beauty.
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the natural coloring of your skin, determined by the production of melanin. When melanin is unevenly produced due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or other factors, it can cause dark spots, patches, or overall uneven skin tone. Professional dermatologic treatments help reduce excess pigmentation, rebalance skin tone, and reveal healthier, clearer skin.
What Causes Pigmentation
Pigmentation treatments use advanced dermatologic techniques such as topical therapies, chemical peels, laser treatments, and light-based technologies. These approaches either break down excess pigment, encourage skin cell turnover, or stimulate collagen and natural healing to restore balance and clarity. Each plan is customized to your skin type and the underlying cause of pigmentation, ensuring safe and effective results.
Concerns Pigmentation Treatments Address
Pigmentation treatments are designed to correct a wide range of discoloration concerns. Our dermatologists evaluate your skin to determine the right treatment for your unique needs.
Common conditions include:
- Sunspots and age spots
- Melasma (hormonal pigmentation)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from acne or injury)
- Freckles and lentigines
- Uneven or blotchy skin tone
Our advanced pigmentation treatments not only improve your appearance but also enhance your skin’s health and resilience.
