Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Why dark spots form — and why they linger
Hyperpigmentation happens when skin produces extra melanin in response to a trigger: sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation from breakouts, picking, or irritation. Post-acne marks (PIH), sun spots, and hormonal patches like melasma all show up as uneven tone. Because inflammation drives pigment, aggressive treatments can actually make dark spots worse.
How We Treat It
Brightening that respects your skin
Every Classic Facial is customized to your pigment concerns and skin type. Depending on your skin, your treatment may include:
Chemical Peels
Carefully selected peels that lift discoloration and even out tone gradually.
Dermaplaning
Removes dead skin and fine hair so brightening products absorb better.
Brightening Home Care
Epicutis products and daily SPF guidance to keep new spots from forming.
The HSS Difference
Low and slow fades pigment for good
Pigment is stubborn, and rushing it with harsh peels or scrubs often creates more inflammation — and more dark spots. Our low-and-slow approach brightens steadily while keeping your barrier calm, which matters even more for deeper skin tones that are prone to PIH.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Extra melanin triggered by sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation — including breakouts, picking, and irritation from harsh products.
Most pigment fades gradually over several months of regular treatments and consistent sunscreen use. Deeper or hormonal pigment can take longer and may need ongoing maintenance.
We can help improve the look of melasma with gentle, non-inflammatory care and home-care guidance. Because melasma is hormonal and tends to return, we focus on steady management and may suggest seeing a dermatologist as well.
