Understanding Pigmentation & Discoloration

Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and discoloration can develop from sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne, or inflammation. These pigment concerns are common and treatable — but the right approach depends on their cause and depth. At Yamany Dermatology, Dr. Yamany provides safe, effective treatments that gradually improve pigmentation for a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Understanding Pigmentation Issues

Sun Damage (Lentigines)

Flat brown spots that result from years of UV exposure.

Melasma

Patchy brown discoloration often triggered by hormones or sun.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Dark marks left behind after acne or irritation.

Treatment Options for Pigmentation

Chemical Peels:

Glycolic or Perfect Derma Peels exfoliate surface pigment and improve overall tone.

Microneedling with or without PRFM:

Stimulates collagen and remodels skin, helping even out discoloration over time.

Medical-Grade Skincare:

Topical treatments may be recommended to complement in-office procedures.

Benefits of Our Approach

  • Personalized care tailored to your type of pigmentation
  • Gradual improvement for natural, safe results
  • Options for minimal to moderate downtime
  • All treatments guided by a board-certified dermatologist

What to Expect

Chemical peels may cause mild flaking (glycolic) or 7 days of peeling (Perfect Derma).

Microneedling with PRFM typically causes redness for 1–2 days before skin appears brighter and smoother.

Visible improvement builds over multiple sessions and with consistent skincare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which treatment works best for pigmentation?

It depends on the cause. Sun spots often respond to chemical peels, melasma requires a more cautious, long-term approach, and post-acne marks may improve with both peels and microneedling.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see best results with a series of peels or microneedling sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Will the pigmentation come back?

Sun spots and melasma can recur with UV exposure. Daily sunscreen and proper skincare are essential to maintain results.
