Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas due to excess melanin production. Common causes include prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, and acne scars. While not medically harmful, hyperpigmentation often affects self-confidence and creates an uneven skin tone.
At our Foothill Drive med spa in Salt Lake City, we offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy as an advanced solution for skin discoloration. This treatment uses controlled light pulses to target excess pigmentation without harming surrounding tissue. By stimulating the skin’s natural healing process, IPL helps fade discoloration and promote a clearer, more even complexion for clients from Sugar House, the East Bench, and throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
