What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation means too much pigment. It’s when your skin is covered by spots that are darker than your standard tone. The main cause of this problem is often sun exposure. When we spend too much time outdoors, our skin can develop sun spots. Age spots and liver spots are also common in those over 30. These develop due to the collagen loss that happens naturally as we age. Melasma is also a common pigment issue. This problem typically develops in pregnant women due to hormonal changes. Regardless of the type and cause of hyperpigmentation, the ICON MaxG™ can be a great option for improving your look.

How Can We Help?

Our ICON MaxG™ IPL PhotoFacial system uses light wavelengths to treat your skin. A typical session takes no more than an hour, usually 30 minutes in most cases. During the session, you may feel a slight snapping sensation against your skin. This is generally tolerable. Once the session is over, you may feel like you have sunburn. This is normal and should go away in 2-24 hours. Once your skin is healed, you should notice a reduction in hyperpigmentation.
