How PRFCT Treats Hyperpigmentation and Melasma?
Our physician-led team focuses on treatments that regulate melanin activity, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce inflammation. Treatment plans are customized based on skin tone, pigment depth, lifestyle factors, and history of pigmentation recurrence.
A multi-modal approach is often recommended to achieve gradual improvement while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Cosmelan MD Melasma Treatment
The American Academy of Dermatology defines melasma as a pigmentary condition that causes gray-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin and above the upper lip. This condition does not cause symptoms you can feel, but it changes the way your skin looks, and it can greatly impact the way you feel about yourself. Cosmelan MD Depigmentation peel is one of the most effective treatments for melasma, and is safe for all skin types.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are treatments that deeply hydrate, repair, and revitalize your skin. Unlike traditional fillers that focus on adding volume, skin boosters are formulated to improve skin quality by nourishing and revitalizing from within. When paired with microneedling, these skin boosters can penetrate deeper into the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the overall results. This powerful combination provides long-lasting improvements to skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
Microneedling
Skin needling is not new, but it is newly popular in the United States—specifically, San Diego. Needling the skin to stimulate new collagen has been used in Europe for at least two decades. Also called Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling is based on the ability of the skin to repair itself.
VI Chemical Peel
The VI Peel is a gentle yet effective chemical peel suitable for all skin types and tones. By combining a unique blend of acids, vitamins, and minerals, the VI Peel works to exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve cellular turnover. The result? Radiant, rejuvenated skin with minimal downtime.
Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM)
Radiofrequency Microneedling utilizes needles similar to a traditional device, but in this case the needles are a delivery service for radiofrequency waves. If your goals have to do with more superficial concerns regular microneedling may do the job. If instead your goals are deeper in the skin Radiofrequency Microneedling will likely be the more effective option.

Results Timeline
Pigment correction is a gradual process that requires consistency and maintenance. Many patients begin to notice visible improvement within several weeks, with continued fading over several months, depending on treatment selection and adherence to skincare and sun protection.
