What Hyperpigmentation Treatment Treats
Sun Spots and Age Spots
Discrete brown spots caused by UV exposure respond rapidly to Fotona Q-switch laser, which shatters melanin deposits for clearance over 1–3 targeted sessions.
Treatments+
Fotona Q-switch laser targets the discrete brown spots left by sun exposure, breaking up the melanin so your body can clear it over the following weeks. Your practitioner matches the settings to your skin tone, and most discrete spots clear in one to three sessions under medical oversight.
Causes+
Sun spots and age spots come from years of UV exposure. The skin produces extra melanin to protect itself, and over time that pigment settles into defined brown patches that stay visible on areas like the face, hands, and chest.
Hyperpigmentation Results
What to expect, from your first session to peak clearance
After Laser Session (Week 1–3)
Week 1-3 · normal clearance
After a laser session the targeted spots darken briefly before sloughing off within 7 to 14 days. This is the normal clearance process, so let the area heal on its own and avoid picking or scrubbing it.
After Sessions 2–3
Sessions 2-3 · progressive fading
Across the next sessions you will see steadier improvement in overall tone and clearance of any remaining spots. A chemical peel series layered alongside the laser work adds brightness and surface renewal.
Peak Results (Months 2–4)
Months 2-4 · peak results
By two to four months the cumulative results settle in, with discrete spots cleared and diffuse pigmentation looking more even. Daily SPF50+ and the maintenance plan your practitioner sets keep the results holding.

Hyperpigmentation Pricing Pickering
Why Patients Choose VRA for Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Pickering
Treating pigmentation without identifying its type is the most common reason results fall short, so at VRA we assess your skin before we choose a single device.
Assessment First
Pigment-led
We identify your pigment type, depth, and cause before selecting any device, because the right match protects your skin and prevents the wrong treatment from worsening the marks.
Multi-Modal Approach
Right tool, right pigment
Laser, RF, and chemical peels are combined as your pigmentation pattern calls for, rather than forcing one device to handle every type of discolouration.
Recurrence Prevention
Built-in SPF protocol
Every plan includes a mandatory post-treatment SPF protocol and guidance to help keep cleared pigment from returning over the months ahead.
The right plan starts with the right assessment.
Same-week consultations. No referral required.
FAQ
Your Hyperpigmentation Questions,
Answered by Victoria
Everything you need to know about dark spot treatment before your appointment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
The most common causes are UV exposure (sun spots, age spots), post-inflammatory response after acne or skin injury, hormonal changes (melasma), and skin trauma. The treatment approach depends entirely on the cause and depth of the pigmentation.
VRA uses Fotona Q-switch laser for discrete targeted spots and solar lentigines, and Sylfirm X dual-wave RF for diffuse tone correction and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Medical-grade chemical peels are added for surface brightening throughout the treatment series.
Yes, when the device is matched to the pigment type and depth, which is why assessment matters more than the laser itself. Fotona Q-switch laser fragments discrete sun spots, age spots, and solar lentigines so the body clears the pigment over 2 to 6 weeks. Sylfirm X dual-wave RF is used for diffuse tone correction, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker skin types where standard lasers carry recurrence risk. Discrete spots often clear in 1 to 3 sessions; diffuse pigmentation usually needs 4 to 6.
Discrete sun spots often clear in 1 to 3 laser sessions. Diffuse uneven tone and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation typically require a series of 3 to 6 sessions combining laser and peels.
Laser clears existing pigmentation effectively, but the result is not automatically permanent, because new pigment can form whenever UV exposure, hormonal shifts, or skin inflammation re-trigger melanocytes. Cleared spots typically stay cleared with daily SPF50+, sun-avoidance habits, and the maintenance protocol built into your plan, which we review with you at every treatment session. Without that follow-through, pigmentation tends to recur over months or years.
Some laser treatments carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker skin types. We use conservative parameters and may use Sylfirm X PW mode preferentially for darker skin tones because of its lower pigmentation risk profile.
Yes. Hyperpigmentation treatment is commonly combined with acne scar treatment, texture improvement, and a brightening chemical peel series for comprehensive skin quality improvement.
Pricing in Pickering depends on which device is matched to your pigment type and how many sessions your plan requires. Fotona Q-switch laser sessions for discrete spots, Sylfirm X RF sessions for diffuse tone correction, and medical-grade chemical peels each carry different per-session pricing. Discrete spots often clear in 1 to 3 sessions; diffuse pigmentation and post-inflammatory marks typically need 4 to 6. Your practitioner confirms exact pricing at your consultation after assessing pigment depth, cause, and skin tone, then provides a written plan with per-session pricing.
