Skin pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin. The colouring of your skin is dependent on numerous factors, including the amount and type of melanin produced by melanocytes, specific cells in the skin. Many people have pigmentation challenges, whether that is too much or too little.
Pigmentation, or skin colour, is the result of melanin production. The amount of melanin produced by your cells is impacted by various factors, including genetic makeup and hormone management. Sometimes, environmental factors also play a role in pigmentation, especially sun exposure.
Pigmentation challenges can happen in several ways. Treatment must be based on what is happening within your skin.
With these three types of pigmentation changes, it is possible to see many different outcomes. The following are some of the most common outcomes of abnormal melanin levels:
Sun spots, also known as dark spots, age spots, or liver spots, are specific areas of brown, deeper discolouration of the skin. They tend to occur as a result of sun exposure and are a part of the natural aging process.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish colored patches of skin. These often occur on the face. They tend to be symmetrical or freckle-like in appearance. They are often the result of hormonal changes in the body, but sun exposure and some medications can increase their prevalence as well.
This skin condition occurs when inflammation or injury to the skin occurs. This leads to discoloration of the skin, often resulting in darker areas, during the healing process.
Freckles are small, flat, and brownish colored spots that occur on the skin. They can be caused by excessive sun exposure and can be more common in those who have fair skin. Most of the time, they are harmless but should be monitored for the potential of more complicated health concerns.
Often called PIE, this condition refers to a consistent red or pink marking on the skin. It often occurs after some type of skin inflammation, such as acne, and forms after the healing process.
At TPS Wellness Centre, we offer a range of pigmentation treatments in Toronto. Treatment is always based on the specific underlying cause of your condition. We believe in offering multiple strategies that can address your skin pigmentation. With several skin pigmentation solutions available to most people, we are confident we can find the strategy best suited for your needs.
Laser therapies can be one of the most effective ways to remove dark spots from your skin. Lasers do not cause pain, but they do remove the top layer of skin, encouraging natural healing and restoration of the skin’s natural colour. Laser pigmentation removal is the best option for the treatment of very specific areas.
Often referred to as IPL, this type of therapy uses light to change the skin tone and colouring. The intense light applies targeted energy to break down melanin deposits. This results in clearer skin. With various strategies available and different wavelengths, we can customize results to fit most needs.
Chemical peels administered by our team are physician-specific. That means they can properly and safely remove the top layer of skin to promote restorative, natural healing. Keep in mind that the strategies we use, such as those that incorporate glycolic acid and salicylic acid, are administered in a controlled environment to reduce the risk of additional scarring or complications.
A range of topical treatments may help in some situations. For uneven skin tone solutions, we may recommend the use of several topical treatments. These are often the first line of defence for hyperpigmentation treatment. Some of those topicals will include:
Another of the skin pigmentation solutions we offer is the use of microneedling, a process that targets very specific age spots or discolorations to encourage natural healing and cell turnover.
In most situations, our pigmentation treatment in Toronto will incorporate more than one strategy. A combination therapy designed to address your specific skin pigmentation concern provides the best level of improvement for most people.
Skin pigmentation solutions at TPS Wellness Centre are always personalized. If you are considering options in laser pigmentation removal or uneven skin tone solutions, this type of personalized, hands-on support allows us to offer very targeted results you can rely on.
During an initial consultation, we will review all aspects of your skin health, discuss your lifestyle, and talk about the importance of skin protection from the sun.
After discussing the options with you, we create a comprehensive treatment plan that fits your situation. That could include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation treatment that uses one or more of the treatment options previously mentioned. You will know exactly what type of treatment is available for your skin and what to expect from each phase of treatment.
Treatment ranges widely. For laser, RF, and light therapy, expect us to provide you with a relaxing area and treatment that is fully explained throughout each step. You will be given insight into what we are doing. You should not feel any pain from treatment.
Depending on the type of treatment that fits your needs, you may need more than one treatment session. Most people will need several treatments spread out over several weeks. This allows for enough time for your skin to heal between sessions and start improving. We will go over the treatment plan with you during your consultation.
You can love your skin again! No matter if they are signs of aging or overexposure to the skin, TPS Wellness Centre wants to restore your natural, healthy, and youthful look. Consider some of the benefits our pigmentation treatment in Toronto offers our clients.
Your skin looks and feels healthy. It may even look years younger after treatment.
With treatment options such as sun spot removal in Toronto, we can eliminate the darkened areas of your skin, brightening it up and revealing your natural beauty. Your skin feels more radiant and healthy as a result.
For those who have scarring from acne, oily patches, or areas of very dry skin, the use of these treatment options can create more uniform results. If you want your skin texture to be even and easy to care for, our laser pigmentation removal may be one of the best options for you.
When you look your best, you feel your best. For those who have dark spots that are bothersome from an aesthetic point of view, treatment can be highly effective at giving you the confidence boost you need.
Melasma treatment in Toronto or any of the other skin pigmentation treatments we offer can be highly effective over the long term. Once you obtain the proper treatment, and then work to reduce the risk for further damage from sun exposure, you could see long-term results.
During your consultation with our doctors and skin care team, you will learn about the most effective treatment options we offer for your specific condition. Side effects and complications can happen in all situations, but we take every step possible to minimize that risk.
After laser and light therapy, in particular, you may notice tingling as well as redness. Common side effects may include swelling and irritation. These tend to improve within a few hours.
There is the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or a darkening of the treatment area. In our extensive experience, we can minimize these risks. Laser resurfacing procedures can also cause crusting or drying out of the skin.
There is a rare risk of infection, scarring, and eye injury, depending on the treatment selected.
Depending on the specific treatment applications used, you may need to take special care of your skin to allow it to heal properly. Most often, this will include full sun exposure elimination for several days, topical treatments to reduce swelling, and the use of gentle soaps. You may need to avoid makeup and chemicals for several days. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the recovery process during your consultation.
Depending on the type of care you receive, the cost for pigmentation treatment in Toronto could range from $100 to $4000 more. For example, sun spot removal in Toronto is typically a one-time procedure that may cost as little as $100. However, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation treatment and laser pigmentation removal may require several treatments. This would make it cost much more.
The total cost of treatment is dependent on:

In most situations, treatment can bring this condition under control, making it hard to see. However, there is no known cure for melasma.
Topical products can take longer to work than laser treatment and other strategies. Chemical peels, laser, and light therapy tend to offer changes in skin tone right away, with improvements occurring over several weeks.
It is not. Some people may experience tingling, a heat sensation, or some discomfort. However, you should not feel pain. If you do, let us know so we can provide support.t
In many situations, we recommend the use of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. However, chemical peels can be helpful in some patients as well. Laser therapy is also used for very targeted results.
The most common reason for this to happen is exposure to the sun. It is critical that you use sunscreens and be protective of your skin to avoid recurrence.
This depends on the underlying condition you have, the severity of the condition, and the treatment we use. There are solutions applicable to all skin conditions and skin tones.
Sunscreen that is UVA and UVB protective is critical to overall skin health. Without it, pigmentation concerns can develop even in short periods of exposure.
While there are some over-the-counter products that promise treatment, they are not often effective. We can offer recommendations for skin improvement options when you contact us for an appointment.
