Whether you're constantly chasing sunsets, going through major life changes, or setting yourself free from your past breakouts, hyperpigmentation is one thing that could easily be struck off your skin wishlist with the right laser facial.
Because hyperpigmentation goes a little deeper (more on that later) our usual hydrating, no-pricking facials will act more as a way to usher skin renewal rather than going within the layers of the skin to target the overproduction of melanin.
That is why laser facials are the way to go to effectively remove unwanted pigmentation. Let's take a deep dive.
What is hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is caused by the overproduction of melanin. Triggers like extreme sun exposure, hormones, and acne can cause our skin cells to produce excess melanin, causing hyperpigmentation.
Good to know: Causes of hyperpigmentation can vary from too much sun exposure, acne and hormonal changes like aging, pregnancy and even reactions to medication.
Can laser facials treat hyperpigmentation?

Laser facials can treat hyperpigmentation as it uses targeted, focused energy to go within the deeper layers of the skin where hyperpigmentation occurs. The best laser facials utilize specific laser intensities that safely penetrate the skin and target excess melanin, allowing it to fade with every session.
Finding your skin's best laser facial for hyperpigmentation
Depending on what you want to target the most, there's a wide array of laser facials in the market that can claim to lessen hyperpigmentation. However, to determine what's best for you, you have to ask these questions when choosing what and where to get your laser treatment:
What type of hyperpigmentation do I want to work on? Consider whether the skin place that you're looking at offers solutions for it. Remember, the more targeted and specific they are, the better the results!
Are the equipment they use authentic and well-maintained? Because laser treatments are so accessible right now, try to keep a discerning eye on whether the machines and lasers they use are original and well-maintained. Because lasers are more advanced than traditional facials, your and your skin's safety should be a top priority!
Will I be able to confidently trust the one who will handle my skin? With the number of places offering quick laser facials, we might get the impression that it's easy to use laser equipment for the skin and just about anyone can do it. Be cautious. When choosing a skin place, make sure that those who handle your skin and the laser device are well-trained and knowledgeable about how lasers complement your skin.
