Let’s talk PIGMENT
Pigment doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t fade overnight either. Sun exposure, hormones, inflammation, and genetics all drive excess melanin production. Hydroquinone works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin formation. Translation: it slows pigment production at the source, not just at the surface.
That’s why hydroquinone is a cornerstone for treating sun damage, melasma, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. With consistent use, it helps fade existing discoloration, prevents new pigment from forming, and creates a more even canvas overall.
If sun damage or pigment is your concern, PicoSure is often the next step. But laser without prep is asking for rebound pigment. Skin must be pretreated with a targeted skincare regimen and hydroquinone for at least 30 days before treatment to calm melanocytes and reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk.
And here’s the part people underestimate:
Look at what skincare alone can do.
Before any laser energy is delivered, proper pigment prep can dramatically improve tone, clarity, and brightness. Laser then becomes refinement, not rescue.
Smart pigment correction is layered, intentional, and respectful of skin biology. That’s how you get results that last.
