What is Hyperpigmentation & Melasma?
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of specific skin areas due to excess melanin production. This can result in dark spots or patches, often caused by sun exposure, inflammation, or skin injuries. Melasma, a more stubborn form of hyperpigmentation, usually appears as brown or gray-brown patches, often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or certain medications. Both conditions can be persistent but are treatable with the right approach.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation & Melasma?
The primary causes of hyperpigmentation include sun exposure, acne, inflammation, and skin trauma. Melasma is often driven by hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during pregnancy or with the use of birth control pills, and can be exacerbated by UV exposure. Genetics can also play a role, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones who are more prone to these conditions.

Hyperpigmentation & Melasma Treatments
At Vital Clinic & Spa, we offer a variety of advanced treatments designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma, providing you with a more even skin tone. We often pair these in office treatments with medical grade skincare that decreases melanin activity and the appropriate SPF to prevent melasma flair ups.
- Aerolase® Laser
Aerolase® is a state-of-the-art laser treatment that targets melanin in the dermal layer of the skin to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and melasma. Compared to most other lasers that are controversial in the treatment of melasma, the aerolase 1064 nm 650 ms pulse laser is gentle yet effective and is suitable for all skin types.
Downtime: Minimal, with potential for slight redness.
Post-Treatment Care: Use a gentle cleanser and avoid direct sun exposure. Daily sunscreen application is essential. - VI Purify Peel
The VI Purify Peel is a powerful, medical-grade chemical peel that helps exfoliate the superficial layer of the skin and added skin lightening agents to reduce hyperpigmentation. It promotes cell turnover, resulting in a brighter, clearer complexion. Chemical peels are often paired with our medical-grade facials for an even more dramatic result.
Downtime: Mild peeling for 5-7 days.
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid picking or peeling at the skin and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

LaseMD is another non-ablative laser treatment that is effective in treating pigmentation and is safe for all skin types. The thulium technology creates microchannel that are invisible to the naked eye but allow for targeted delivery of potent agents that reduce pigmentation. In addition, the skin retexturing effect improves texture and further reduces pigmentation.
Downtime: Minimal, with some redness that subsides within hours.
Post-Treatment Care: Keep the skin hydrated and protected from the sun using high-SPF sunscreen. - SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and skin renewal. This treatment reduces pigmentation, improves texture, and promotes a healthier skin appearance.
Downtime: Typically 1-2 days with some redness and sensitivity.
Post-Treatment Care: Hydrate the skin, avoid sun exposure, and follow a recommended skincare regimen, including sunscreen.

When paired with microneedling or used alone, PRP injections harnesses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and improve skin tone. It is particularly effective at reducing pigmentation, improving overall skin health, and providing a youthful glow.
Downtime: Typically 1-2 days with some redness and sensitivity.
Post-Treatment Care: Hydrate the skin, avoid sun exposure, and follow a recommended skincare regimen, including sunscreen.

Utilizing microneedling with brightening agents and exosome therapy combines the benefits of growth factors, brightening agents, and exosomes to effectively reduce pigmentation, improve skin tone, and promote overall skin health. Brightening agents help diminish discoloration, while exosomes deliver potent regenerative properties that boost skin healing and reduce inflammation, making this combination especially effective for treating conditions like melasma.
Downtime: Typically 1-2 days with some redness and sensitivity.
Post-Treatment Care: Hydrate the skin, avoid sun exposure, and follow a recommended skincare regimen, including sunscreen.

The same augmenting agents used with microneedling can be injected directly to the skin with a technique called mesotherapy. Aquagold® gets its name from the 24 karat gold plated needles used to directly deliver the augmenting agents while also stimulating collagen. This treatment differs from microneedling in the fact that it has less downtime because its injection depth is less. A popular lunchtime facial in LA, this treatment is often known as the “Hollywood Facial”.
Downtime: Minimal, with possible redness.
Post-Treatment Care: Follow a gentle skincare routine and avoid sun exposure. Sunscreen is crucial.

Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
