Hyperpigmentation

Uneven skin tone, dark patches, and melasma can be frustrating and difficult to treat. At PRFCT, we offer advanced solutions to fade hyperpigmentation and restore a clear, even complexion. Our expert treatments target stubborn pigmentation to deliver long-lasting results.

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish patches, usually on the face. It is often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. While melasma is not harmful, it can be persistent, stubborn and challenging to treat.

Melasma is primarily caused by excess melanin production, which can be triggered by factors such as:

• • Hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy, birth control, menopause)
• • UV exposure
• • Genetics
• • Inflammation and skin irritation

Although there is no cure, melasma can be managed and significantly reduced with the right treatment plan. While some cases may fade over time, professional treatments and medical-grade skincare are often necessary for optimal long-term results.

PRFCT offers advanced treatments designed to target and lighten melasma, including:

• • Cosmelan MD – A highly effective depigmentation treatment that reduces melasma and hyperpigmentation.
• • Skin Boosters – Targeted ingredients that pair with microneedling to help prevent and treat acne while improving overall complexion. 
• • Microneedling – Stimulates collagen production and enhances skin renewal for a more even complexion.
• • VI Peels – Chemical peels designed to exfoliate and lift dark spots.
• • RFM (Radiofrequency Microneedling) – Several studies support the use of radiofrequency microneedling (RFM) in the treatment of melasma. RFM may help melasma by targeting deep pigment, stabilizing melanocytes, reducing vascular factors, strengthening the skin barrier, and enhancing the effects of topicals—all while minimizing the risk of PIH, making it a safe and effective option for melasma management compared to laser treatment options.

There is no ‘single best treatment option’. Hyperpigmentation can be treated with a combination of in-office procedures and medical-grade skincare. Many factors are considered in creating a customized treatment plan to ensure you receive the best approach for your skin’s unique needs.

Fading hyperpigmentation is typically not a ‘fast’ process but one that requires a multi-faceted approach, including:

• • Professional treatments like peels and microneedling
• • Daily use of SPF to prevent further darkening
• • Brightening serums with active ingredients like vitamin C, hydroquinone, tranexamic acid and retinol.

Yes! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps lighten dark spots, brighten skin tone, and protect against environmental damage. PRFCT offers C Glow, a high-potency vitamin C/E/Ferulic antioxidant rich serum to support radiant skin.

Yes! Tranexamic acid is a clinically proven ingredient for melasma that works by targeting the root causes of hyperpigmentation. It helps reduce excess melanin production, calms inflammation, and inhibits the formation of abnormal blood vessels that can worsen discoloration. Unlike harsher treatments, tranexamic acid is gentle on the skin and suitable for all skin tones, making it a great option for fading stubborn melasma and preventing future flare-ups. For best results, it can be used in combination with other brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinol. PRFCT offers 10% Tranexamic Acid in AX6, a powerful daily exfoliating and brightening pad.
