What Causes Hyperpigmentation and Why Do I Have It?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanocytes—the cells responsible for pigment—produce too much melanin in certain areas. This can be triggered by sun damage, hormonal fluctuations (such as during pregnancy or menopause), inflammation from acne or injuries, medications, and genetic predisposition. Common types include:
- Sun spots (actinic lentigines): Brown or black patches caused by UV exposure.
- Post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Dark marks left after acne, eczema, or injuries.
- Melasma: Larger patches often triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure.
- Freckles: Small spots exacerbated by sunlight and genetics.

Hyperpigmentation Edmonton Treatments Frequently asked questions
What is hyperpigmentation Treatment Edmonton?
Hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches or spots on the skin caused by excess melanin production. Common forms include sun spots, melasma and post‑inflammatory marks.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
UV exposure, hormonal changes, genetics and skin injuries can trigger hyperpigmentation. Inflammation from acne, eczema or allergic reactions may also leave residual dark marks.
What treatments are available?
We offer topical creams, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapies, microneedling, HydraFacial and PRP/mesotherapy to address different types of hyperpigmentation. Treatment plans are customised based on your skin type and pigmentation concerns.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients notice improvement after one or two treatments. However, deeper or more extensive pigmentation may require several sessions spaced weeks apart for best results.
When will I see results?
Initial lightening is often visible within 2–4 weeks, with continued improvement as the skin heals and renews. Adhering to your treatment schedule and following aftercare instructions can enhance your outcome.
Are there side effects?
Mild redness, swelling, peeling or temporary darkening may occur, depending on the procedure. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified professionals. We discuss risks and management strategies during your consultation.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary based on the chosen treatment and the number of sessions required. Chemical peels start around CAD $200 per session, while more advanced laser and injectable options range from CAD $300 to $600 per session. Package discounts are available.
Who should avoid certain hyperpigmentation treatments?
Some procedures may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active infections or open wounds, or are taking photosensitising medications. People with certain medical conditions or a history of keloid scarring should discuss options with our practitioners. We will review your medical history during consultation to determine the safest approach.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes. Combining modalities—such as pairing laser therapy with topical treatments or adding a HydraFacial to a peel—can enhance results. Your practitioner will advise on safe and effective combinations.
Will my hyperpigmentation return after treatment?
Hyperpigmentation can recur if underlying triggers—such as sun exposure, hormonal changes or inflammation—persist. While treatments can significantly lighten existing spots, ongoing sun protection, hormonal management and appropriate skincare are essential to prevent new pigmentation from forming.
How can I maintain my results between sessions?
Protect your skin by applying a broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ daily, wearing hats and seeking shade. Use the prescribed lightening creams or serums consistently, avoid picking or scratching at spots and keep the treated area moisturised. Avoid harsh exfoliants or irritating products unless recommended by your provider.
