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:
Treatment Journey
VISIA® Skin Scan – reveals hidden pigment, sun damage, and redness patterns
Custom Pigment Plan – tailored combination of in-clinic sessions and home skincare
Progress Tracking – we compare side-by-side images at each visit
Maintenance – quarterly laser or peel sessions + daily SPF to prevent relapse
Results & Expectations
Early brightness can be seen after just one peel or BBL®
Melasma and stubborn spots fade gradually over 3 – 6 treatments
Redness reduction typically visible after 2 BBL® sessions
Consistent SPF + home care are key to long-term tone correction
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?
Yes. We customize treatment energy, filters, and skincare based on your Fitzpatrick skin type to avoid post-inflammatory pigment issues.
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.
