Hyperpigmentation Burlingame

Dark Spots, Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma are common, generally, harmless conditions that cause patches of skin to become darker than the normal skin tone. The darkening occurs because of an excess of melanin deposits in the skin from sun exposure. However, melasma can also be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy, making it more common in women than men.

At Skinlastiq Medical Laser Cosmetic Spa in Burlingame, we offer several highly effective treatments that help lessen the appearance of melasma and hyperpigmentation without harming and affecting the surrounding skin.
