What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. This can result in dark patches, uneven tone, or stubborn marks that linger long after acne or sun exposure.
Common causes include UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, or injury. Though harmless, pigmentation, often affects confidence and complexion brightness.
At NovaLx Aesthetics, we specialise in melanin-safe treatments that correct discoloration gradually and safely for all skin tones, revealing a luminous, even complexion.
How We Treat It
At NovaLx, we believe beautiful skin begins with balance. That’s why our pigmentation treatments focus not just on fading visible marks, but also on strengthening your skin barrier, regulating melanin activity, and supporting long-term clarity.
Every client receives a personalised treatment plan based on their skin tone, pigment depth, and sensitivity level. Our three-step approach combines collagen stimulation, gentle resurfacing, and controlled exfoliation to renew your complexion from within.
1. RF Microneedling (Secret PRO by Cutera)
Using ultra-fine needles and controlled radiofrequency energy, this treatment remodels the deeper layers of the skin to fade pigmentation and rebuild collagen. It is ideal for treating post-acne marks, uneven tone, and pigmentation caused by inflammation or sun exposure. Because it bypasses the skin’s surface, it’s safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI) and offers visible brightening with minimal downtime.
2. Professional Chemical Peels (Including Medical Grade Peels)
Our professional-grade peels use carefully balanced acids such as lactic, glycolic, or mandelic acid to gently lift surface pigment and stimulate cell renewal. Each peel is customised to your skin’s sensitivity and pigmentation depth — offering a progressive improvement in tone and texture with little to no downtime.
3. Microdermabrasion
A non-invasive polishing treatment that uses fine crystals or diamond tips to gently exfoliate and smooth the skin’s surface.
It removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and improves product absorption — leaving your complexion fresh, soft, and renewed.
Results: Smoother, clearer, and visibly brighter skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart achieves the best results. Your exact plan will depend on your skin’s pigmentation depth and response.
Is it suitable for darker skin tones?
Yes. At NovaLx, all pigmentation treatments are carefully selected and adjusted to ensure safety for every skin type, including Fitzpatrick IV–VI.
Will I have downtime?
Most clients experience only mild redness or flaking for 1–2 days. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Can pigmentation come back?
If triggered by sun exposure or hormones, pigmentation may gradually return. Consistent SPF use and maintenance treatments every 3–6 months will help sustain results.
Do I need to prepare my skin before treatment?
Yes — your practitioner may recommend a short pre-treatment plan using gentle brightening or hydrating products to strengthen your skin and enhance results.
