Pigment & Sun Damage Treatment
Home /
Restore Even, Radiant Skin
Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, and inflammation can lead to uneven skin tone, brown spots, and visible discoloration over time. These pigment changes often develop gradually due to cumulative sun damage, post-inflammatory changes, or hormonal fluctuations that affect how melanin is distributed in the skin.
At Tailored Aesthetics Medical Spa, our pigment and sun damage treatments in Escalon, CA, use advanced Sciton laser technology to target unwanted pigmentation with precision while protecting surrounding tissue. Each treatment is customized based on the depth and type of pigment present, allowing us to safely improve skin clarity, brightness, and overall tone while supporting healthier-looking skin.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation concerns can develop for several reasons, including sun exposure, inflammation, and hormonal changes.
Common causes include:
- Sun spots (solar lentigines)
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
Pigmentation can exist at different depths within the skin, which is why treatment must be carefully customized for safe and effective correction.
Best Treatments for Pigment & Sun Damage
Several advanced laser and light-based technologies can help improve pigmentation and sun damage by targeting excess melanin while supporting healthier, more even-looking skin.

FAQs
What causes sun damage and pigmentation?
Sun exposure is the most common cause of pigmentation, but hormonal changes, inflammation, acne, and certain medications can also trigger excess melanin production. These factors can lead to uneven tone, brown spots, and patches of discoloration.
Can laser treatments remove sun spots and pigmentation?
Advanced laser and light-based treatments can significantly improve the appearance of sunspots and other forms of pigmentation. These technologies target excess pigment within the skin and gradually break it down so the body can naturally eliminate it.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the type, depth, and severity of pigmentation. Some patients notice improvement after one treatment, while others benefit from a series of sessions for optimal correction.
Will pigmentation return after treatment?
Treated pigment may fade significantly, but new pigmentation can develop over time due to sun exposure or hormonal changes. Consistent sun protection and maintenance treatments can help preserve results.
Is pigment treatment safe for all skin types?
Many modern laser technologies can be customized for different skin types. A consultation is required to evaluate your skin tone, pigment type, and potential risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation before treatment.
Is there downtime after pigment treatments?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment used. Some treatments involve little to no recovery time, while deeper resurfacing procedures may involve several days of redness or flaking.
