Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Solana Beach

Brighten, Even, Glow — Skin Tone You’ll Feel Confident at Fiora Aesthetics

Whether you’re dealing with stubborn dark spots, sun damage, or uneven tone that just won’t fade—hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns we see at Fiora Aesthetics. The good news? It’s also one of the most treatable, especially when you work with licensed pros who understand skin at every level.

We offer custom treatment plans for all types of pigmentation, using advanced technology and medical-grade skincare to safely and effectively restore your glow.

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches or spots on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin (your skin’s natural pigment). It can show up as:

  • Sun spots / age spots

  • Melasma (hormonally-triggered pigmentation)

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, rashes, or injury

  • Uneven skin tone due to chronic sun exposure or inflammation

It’s more common in medium to deeper skin tones, but can affect anyone—especially when the skin is exposed to triggers like UV rays, hormones, heat, or trauma.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

There are several triggers that cause the skin to produce excess pigment:

  • Sun exposure: The #1 cause—UV rays stimulate melanin

  • Hormonal changes: Especially during pregnancy, menopause, or while on birth control (melasma)

  • Post-acne marks: Inflammation from breakouts can leave behind dark spots

  • Skin injury or irritation: Laser burns, picking, or even harsh products

  • Genetics and skin type: Some skin naturally produces more pigment

Hyperpigmentation isn’t “just a surface problem.” That’s why we take a deep, customized approach to correcting it—safely and effectively.

How We Treat Hyperpigmentation at Fiora

Because pigment can live in both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, we often combine treatments over time for the best and longest-lasting results.

Chemical Peels (Usually in a Series)

Peels are one of the most effective ways to fade dark spots and resurface uneven tone. At Fiora, we customize a peel plan based on your skin type, goals, and pigment depth.

Peels work by:

  • Gently exfoliating damaged surface cells

  • Stimulating skin renewal and brightening

  • Breaking up pigment clusters

  • Improving texture and tone

Best results typically come from a series of 3–6 peels, spaced a few weeks apart.

Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, prompting collagen production and helping to break up pigmentation from within. We enhance this treatment with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to speed healing and amplify results.

Benefits include:

  • Smoother, more even tone

  • Reduced post-acne marks

  • Healthier skin texture

  • Long-term pigment reduction

Microneedling is ideal for treating both texture and tone in one go.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Your at-home skincare routine is crucial when treating hyperpigmentation. We’ll help you build a science-backed plan using products that target melanin production, support cell turnover, and maintain results between treatments.

We often include:

  • Brightening agents like tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, or kojic acid

  • Retinoids to boost cell turnover

  • Antioxidants like Vitamin C to protect and repair

  • Barrier-supportive hydrators to keep inflammation down

Sun Protection (Your Best Friend)

There’s no getting around it: UV exposure is the fastest way to undo progress. We’ll help you protect your results with medical-grade SPF and realistic lifestyle tips—like adding a cute wide-brim hat or choosing sun-smart times for outdoor fun.

Sun protection helps:

  • Prevent dark spots from coming back

  • Maintain treatment results

  • Protect skin from long-term damage
