Why Does Skin Tone Look Uneven?

Uneven skin tone happens when melanin—the pigment that gives skin its color—is overproduced or distributed unevenly. Common triggers include UV damage, hormone shifts (especially in melasma), acne inflammation, and vascular issues like rosacea.

What we solve:

Dark spots from acne or sun
Red, blotchy patches or vessels
Hormonal pigmentation
Overall dullness and lack of radiance

Even-Tone Toolkit

For best results, we may layer Moxi™ and BBL® in alternating sessions to target both pigment and vascular issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can uneven skin tone be fixed permanently?

With consistent treatment and sun protection, long-term correction is achievable—especially for sun damage. Melasma may require ongoing maintenance.

Will it work for my darker skin tone?

We customize treatment energy, filters, and skincare based on your Fitzpatrick skin type.

How soon will I see improvement?

Most guests notice brightness after one peel or laser, with visible tone correction building over 2–3 visits.

Do these treatments hurt?

Peels feel like a tingle. BBL® and Moxi™ feel like warmth or a light snap, and we offer numbing as needed.

What’s the best at-home skincare for tone correction?

We often recommend vitamin C, retinoids, and pigment inhibitors like tranexamic acid or kojic acid—customized to your skin type.

How long does it take to even out my skin tone?

It depends on the underlying cause—sun damage, melasma, or post-acne marks. Most guests notice brighter, more even skin after 2–3 sessions of BBL®, Moxi™, or chemical peels.
