Hyper-pigmentation
Sun DamageAge Spots
Hyper-pigmentation caused by sun damage and age spots is a persistent issue that can significantly impact your skin’s appearance, making it look older and uneven. Overexposure to harmful UV rays triggers an excess production of melanin, leading to dark spots and discoloration, especially on areas like the face, hands, and chest. These spots can be frustrating to manage and may cause you to feel self-conscious about your skin's appearance.
Dr. Priya specializes in addressing this issue with advanced, non-invasive treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF). IPL uses targeted light pulses to penetrate the skin, breaking down excess melanin that causes dark spots. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these pigmented cells, leading to a clearer, more radiant complexion without damaging the surrounding tissue.
RF technology complements this by gently heating the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging cell renewal. While known for skin tightening, RF also enhances skin tone and texture, further reducing pigmentation and giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
With Dr. Priya’s expertise, these non-invasive treatments can help you effectively address hyper-pigmentation and sun damage, restoring your skin’s natural glow and enhancing your overall confidence—all without the need for surgery.

Target Concerns
These treatments work together to address uneven pigmentation, offering smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime.
| 01 | Sun Spots | These flat, brown spots result from prolonged sun exposure and are often found on the face, hands, and arms. IPL effectively breaks down excess melanin in these spots, gradually lightening them, while RF stimulates skin renewal, improving overall tone and reducing the appearance of sun-damaged areas. |
|---|---|---|
| 02 | Melasma | Larger, darker patches caused by hormonal changes and sun exposure, typically appearing on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. While challenging to treat, IPL can fade melasma by targeting melanin clusters, and RF enhances skin elasticity and regeneration, promoting long-term improvement. |
| 03 | Post-Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation | Dark spots that form after skin injury, acne, or inflammation. IPL targets the pigmentation left from inflammation, speeding up healing, while RF boosts collagen production and improves skin texture, helping fade PIH more effectively. |
| 04 | Freckles | Small, scattered brown spots that become more pronounced with sun exposure. IPL reduces their intensity by targeting melanin, and RF promotes healthier skin turnover, helping to even out the skin tone. |
| 05 | Age Spots | Flat, dark spots caused by long-term sun exposure, common in older adults. IPL breaks up the excess pigmentation, lightening age spots, and RF enhances skin firmness and texture, further reducing their appearance and giving the skin a more youthful look. |
Ideal Candidates
IPL and RF treatments are versatile solutions for addressing hyper-pigmentation across a range of skin tones, but individuals with lighter to medium skin tones tend to see the most consistent results. Since IPL targets melanin, those with darker skin tones may require a customized approach to ensure safety and efficacy, minimizing the risk of hyper- or hypo-pigmentation. Dr. Priya carefully tailors each treatment to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring flawless, even-toned results.
