What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas due to excess melanin production. This can result from sun damage, hormonal changes, inflammation, or aging.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment Options at Spring Street Dermatology
At Spring Street Dermatology, we offer multiple treatment options to address various types of hyperpigmentation:
LaseMD
Advanced laser technology that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to reduce pigmentation while promoting collagen production and skin renewal. This treatment offers minimal downtime while effectively targeting pigmentation concerns.
Laser Resurfacing
Precision laser technology that removes damaged skin layers and stimulates new collagen growth, effectively treating both pigmentation and texture concerns.
Chemical Peels
Professional-grade chemical solutions that exfoliate the skin and reduce pigmentation. Our dermatologists adjust the peel strength and composition based on your skin type and concerns.
Microneedling
Creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and enhance the penetration of pigment-fighting ingredients, improving overall skin tone and texture.
Medical-Grade Topical Treatments
Prescription-strength and professional skincare products that contain active ingredients that target pigmentation at the cellular level.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for hyperpigmentation treatment in New York City are those who are concerned about dark spots or uneven skin coloration. Our treatments are suitable for all skin types and tones, as we adjust the treatments to address each patient’s unique concerns.Â
Candidates should focus on sun protection and creating a dedicated skincare regimen to maintain the results. During your consultation, our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment experiences for hyperpigmentation vary based on the chosen method. For our laser treatments, sessions typically last 30-60 minutes – please note that a series of treatments is usually recommended for optimal results. Patients may experience temporary redness and sensitivity. Strict sun protection is crucial during and after laser treatments.
Chemical peels are another option, involving 30-minute treatment sessions. Patients may experience a tingling sensation during the application, followed by a period of mild peeling for several days. Multiple sessions may be recommended, with results developing over time.
Microneedling is a popular treatment that includes a topical numbing application before the 45-60 minute procedure. Patients may experience mild redness for 24-48 hours, and a series of treatments is often needed to achieve the desired results. Microneedling can also be combined with targeted topical treatments to enhance its effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies based on your specific concerns and chosen treatment method. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
Q: How Long Do Results Last?
A: Results can be long-lasting with proper sun protection and skincare maintenance. However, new pigmentation can develop without adequate sun protection or due to hormonal changes.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: Downtime varies by treatment type. Laser treatments and chemical peels may require several days of social downtime, while microneedling typically requires 24-48 hours. Your dermatologist will discuss specific recovery expectations during your consultation.
Q: What's the best treatment for my skin type?
Different skin types and pigmentation concerns respond better to certain treatments. Our dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation
Q: How can I maintain my results?

- Diligent sun protection (broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher)
- Consistent use of recommended skincare products
- Regular maintenance treatments as advised
- Avoiding triggers (excessive sun exposure, certain medications)

Frowning, squinting, and smiling leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators can be injected directly with a tiny needle into the muscles responsible and work by reducing crease-causing contractions.
Dermal Fillers
As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.
