Hyperpigmentation and Freckles

Targeted pigment treatments can fade dark spots and support a brighter, more even skin tone.

What is Hyperpigmentation and Freckles?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin creates dark spots or patches. Sun exposure, acne, inflammation, and skin injury are common triggers. Freckles and sun spots may deepen without consistent protection.

Common Signs and Concerns

  • Brown spots or patches

  • Freckles that darken with sun

  • Post-acne discoloration

  • Uneven tone on the face or hands

How is Hyperpigmentation and Freckles treated at The Laser Institute of Pinehurst?

Your provider may recommend one or more options based on your skin, medical history, and goals:

  • Cynosure® and Candela® laser technologies selected to target excess pigment

  • Resurfacing and skin-care options that support clearer, more even tone

  • Daily sun protection to reduce recurrence and new discoloration

What to Expect

The correct technology and settings depend on pigment type and skin tone. Evaluation helps distinguish treatable pigment from lesions requiring medical review.
