Hyperpigmentation, Melasma & Uneven Skin Tone
Dark spots, lingering acne marks, or stubborn patches? If hyperpigmentation, melasma, or uneven skin tone has you unsure where to start, we’re here to guide you. Discover personalized treatments and homecare selected around your skin, with a thoughtful plan for a more even looking complexion.
Hyperpigmentation & Melasma
When a breakout clears but the mark stays or dark patches keep returning, it can be frustrating to know what your skin needs.
Hyperpigmentation describes areas that look darker than the surrounding skin, including marks left after breakouts or irritation. Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation that often appears as broader patches on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. Hormonal changes and sun exposure can play a role.
At Boston Skincare, your care starts with understanding your concerns, skin history, and current routine. From there, Priscilla guides you through personalized treatment options and homecare to support a more even-looking complexion, with your skin’s comfort in mind.
At Boston Skincare, pigmentation care combines professional treatments with targeted homecare. Your consultation includes a review of your skin history, visible discoloration, sensitivity, and current routine to guide appropriate treatment choices.
Depending on your skin’s needs, your plan may include customized facials or carefully selected chemical peels, alongside products that help improve the appearance of uneven tone.
Your care focuses on:
• Targeting the appearance of dark spots and discoloration
• Supporting skin renewal with appropriate exfoliation
• Maintaining hydration and a healthy skin barrier
• Limiting irritation that can contribute to further pigmentation
Priscilla provides clear instructions and adjusts your plan as your skin responds. Melasma requires an ongoing approach, and dermatology care may be recommended when prescription treatment or further evaluation is needed.
Consistent homecare is an essential part of managing pigmentation, especially melasma, which can return after improvement. Your routine is selected to support a more even-looking complexion while respecting your skin’s tolerance.
Your homecare plan may include:
• Targeted brightening products selected for your concerns
• Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, with tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides particularly helpful for melasma
• Gentle cleansing and moisturizing to support the skin barrier
• Clear guidance on introducing active ingredients and avoiding over-exfoliation
Sun protection also includes shade, protective hats, and sunscreen reapplication when outdoors. Follow-up visits allow Priscilla to review your progress, adjust your routine, and help you maintain consistent care over time.

At Boston Skincare, you must complete one standard Perfect Derma Peel before we consider adding the Anti-Aging & Brightening Booster to a future session. Your plan also includes guidance on homecare and daily sun protection to support ongoing melasma management.
Yes—all peels offered at Boston Skincare are suitable for all skin tones, including darker skin tones. We always begin with a consultation to determine which peel and strength are appropriate for your skin, concerns, and sensitivity.
Preparation, personalized homecare, and proper aftercare help minimize irritation and the risk of additional pigmentation.
If your breakouts have cleared but left flat, dark marks, we may recommend the Perfect Derma Peel or a Custom Facial with the Skinbetter AlphaRet Peel, depending on your skin and preferred downtime. Targeted homecare and daily sunscreen also support a more even-looking complexion.
Indented or raised acne scars need a different approach. We always recommend starting with a consultation to assess whether your concern is discoloration, scarring, or both and guide you toward the appropriate treatment.
