Pigmentation
Even out skin tone and restore clarity—gently, safely, and with personalized care.
Uneven pigmentation (dark spots, sun damage, post-acne marks, or melasma) is a common concern that can affect not only skin clarity, but overall confidence. These changes often develop over time due to sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or aging, and can be stubborn to fade.
At Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, we take a layered and tailored approach to pigmentation correction. Rather than masking the surface, our protocols target the causes of discoloration to safely fade pigmentation and improve overall skin clarity and tone. Every treatment plan is customized based on skin type, pigmentation depth, and long-term skin health.
Aesthetic Treatment Options for Pigmentation
Cutis Anti-Aging Peel (Glycolic)
Gently exfoliate and brighten dull, pigmented skin.
The Cutis Anti-Aging Peel is a gentle glycolic acid treatment that exfoliates the skin, boosts cell turnover, and improves tone and texture. It targets early signs of aging, such as fine lines, dullness, and mild pigmentation.
Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing for smoother, brighter skin to surface. The Cutis Anti-Aging Peel uses a controlled concentration of glycolic acid to safely exfoliate the outermost layer of skin without downtime.
This is particularly well-suited for those experiencing the first visible signs of skin aging, such as rough texture, fine lines, or uneven tone. It also helps stimulate collagen production, enhance the penetration of skincare products, and maintain overall skin radiance.
At Cutis, our team assesses your skin condition and sensitivity level to determine the ideal strength and frequency of the peel. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately after.
For optimal results, a series of peels, typically 4 to 6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, is recommended as part of an anti-aging or skin maintenance program.
Photo Facial
Target uneven tone, sun damage, and redness for clearer, brighter skin.
(U.S. FDA-approved)
Photo Facial is a light-based treatment that targets surface pigmentation, redness, and broken capillaries. It improves skin tone and restores radiance with minimal downtime.
Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, Photo Facial helps correct pigment irregularities and visible redness. It’s ideal for treating sun spots, age spots, rosacea, and flushing on the face, neck, and décolleté.
At Cutis, this treatment is commonly recommended for patients experiencing sun damage, early aging, or vascular concerns. It works by delivering intelligent pulses of light customized to your tone, breaking down discoloration while stimulating collagen.
Treatments are comfortable and require minimal to no downtime. Patients may notice mild darkening of spots before they flake off naturally over several days.
A series of 3–5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart is usually advised to achieve even, radiant skin. This treatment can also be part of a seasonal skin reset or paired with other therapies for ongoing maintenance.
VI Peel
Resurface and renew your skin for a brighter, smoother, more even complexion.
VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to improve pigmentation, texture, and clarity. Suitable for all skin tones, it targets sun damage, acne, fine lines, and melasma with minimal downtime.
The VI Peel is a gentle yet powerful chemical peel that works on multiple layers of the skin. Containing a synergistic blend of ingredients (which includes TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin C), this addresses common concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring, and early signs of aging for comprehensive skin renewal.
There is also a specific VI Peel for treating pigmentation concerns: VI Peel Precision Plus. It is specifically formulated for treating sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It promotes rapid cell turnover and effectively suppresses melanogenesis or the production of melanin.
Peeling usually begins on day 3 post-treatment and can last several days, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath. With proper aftercare, results continue to improve over the following weeks. A typical plan includes 3–4 peels, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. VI Peel can also be combined with other skin therapies as part of a comprehensive pigmentation or acne protocol.
