Your Roadmap to Clearer, Brighter Skin
Initial Consultation
During your 45-minute initial consultation, we’ll talk about your skin concerns and what you want to achieve. We’ll look at your dark spots and might take some “before” pictures to see your progress later.
We’ll suggest the best treatments for your skin type and pigmentation issues. You can book your treatment for another day or sometimes get it done right away. The $75 consultation fee goes toward your treatment cost.
Day of Treatment
When you come in for your treatment clean your face and apply topical numbing cream to help with any discomfort.. If you’re nervous, we will administer laughing gas to keep you comfortable for the stronger treatments.
Treatment times:
- Moxi: 15-30 minutes
- BBL Hero: 15-30 minutes
- CoolPeel: 15-30 minutes

After the Procedure
Right after, your skin might look red and/or feel warm, like a mild sunburn. We will provide an ice pack if needed and go over how to take care of your skin at home. We will also provide you with detailed written post-treatment instructions.
You can usually go back to your normal routine the next day, but stay out of direct sunlight for a bit. We’ll schedule your next session before you leave – most people need 3-5 treatments every 4-6 weeks for the best results.

Your Questions About Hyperpigmentation Treatment, Answered
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after 3-4 treatments, but this can vary. Factors like the severity of your hyperpigmentation, skin type, and the specific treatment we use all play a role. We’ll create a personalized plan and might adjust it as we see how your skin responds. Some patients with mild discoloration see results after just 1-2 sessions, while more stubborn cases might need 6-8 treatments for optimal results.
Does hyperpigmentation treatment hurt?
Our treatments are generally well-tolerated. You might feel a warm sensation or mild discomfort, similar to a light sunburn. For most treatments, we can apply a topical numbing cream and offer laughing gas as needed. Most patients rate the discomfort as 2-3 out of 10.
How long do results last? Is it permanent?
Results can last for months to years with proper care. It’s not permanent, as new hyperpigmentation can develop over time due to factors like sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation. However, with good sun protection and a proper skincare routine, many patients maintain their results for a year or more. We’ll provide you with a maintenance plan to help prolong your results.
Can I go in the sun after treatment?
We strongly recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for at least a week after treatment, and longer for more intensive procedures. When you go out, always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours. Wear protective clothing and seek shade when possible.
Will the dark spots come back after treatment?
They can, especially without proper sun protection and skincare. Factors like hormonal changes, certain medications, and sun exposure can trigger new hyperpigmentation. We’ll give you a detailed post treatment plan including recommended products and lifestyle tips to help maintain your results. Regular maintenance treatments every 3-6 months can also help keep hyperpigmentation at bay.
How soon can I wear makeup after a treatment?
This depends on the specific treatment you receive. For milder treatments like microneedling, you can usually apply makeup the next day. For more intensive treatments like certain laser therapies, we might ask you to wait 2-3 days. We’ll provide specific instructions based on your treatment. When you start wearing makeup again, we recommend using mineral-based products as they’re less likely to irritate treated skin.
Can you treat hyperpigmentation on all skin tones?
Yes, we have treatments safe for all skin tones, but the approach differs. Darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) require more specialized care to avoid potential side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For these skin types, we often start with gentler treatments like microneedling with brightening serums. Lighter skin tones can sometimes tolerate more aggressive treatments from the start. We always perform a thorough assessment before deciding on a treatment plan.
How much does hyperpigmentation treatment cost in Charlotte?
Costs vary depending on the type of treatment, the number of sessions needed, and the size of the area being treated. A single session typically ranges from $300 to $800 in the general Charlotte area. More advanced or double laser treatments might cost $1,500or more per session. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your personalized treatment plan.
