Acne pigmentation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leaves dark spots or discoloration after acne has healed. At Viva Medspa & Wellness, our advanced treatments target these stubborn marks, improving your complexion and restoring a clear, radiant tone. Quick and effective, our acne pigmentation treatments offer minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
BBL (BroadBand Light) and Morpheus8
30-60 minutes (varies by treatment)
Minimal to moderate downtime (treatment-dependent)
At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we offer two powerful treatments to address acne pigmentation: BBL and Morpheus8. These advanced technologies target pigmented areas, promote cell turnover, and stimulate collagen production to fade dark spots and even skin tone.
This innovative light therapy uses precise wavelengths to target and break down pigmented areas. BBL effectively reduces discoloration while promoting overall skin rejuvenation.
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 works deep within the skin to remodel collagen and address pigmentation issues. This treatment fades dark spots and improves skin texture and firmness.
Our acne pigmentation treatments are suitable for adults of all ages dealing with post-acne discoloration. Whether you’re struggling with recent acne marks or long-standing pigmentation issues, our tailored treatments can help restore your skin’s natural radiance.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your goals in order to come up with a tailored treatment plan. We may advise avoiding certain skincare products or sun exposure for a few days before your treatment.
Treatment typically lasts 30-60 minutes. You may experience mild discomfort, but we prioritize your comfort.
Post-treatment care instructions will be provided based on your specific procedure. Generally, you should protect your skin from sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine. As your skin renews, you may experience temporary redness or swelling.
The number and frequency of treatments depend on the severity of your acne pigmentation. Many patients see improvement after several treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart. We recommend a customized skincare regimen and regular maintenance treatments to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation.
The results may vary from person to person, depending on skin characteristics and treatment methods. Many patients notice a gradual improvement in skin tone and reduction of dark spots over several weeks. It is possible to achieve significant improvements in skin clarity and evenness through a series of treatments and proper skincare.
BBL uses light therapy to break down pigmented areas, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency to remodel collagen and address pigmentation at deeper levels.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. To ensure a pleasant experience, we may use numbing creams or other comfort measures.
Depending on the specific procedure and the area(s) to be treated, treatment times typically range from 30 to 60 minutes.
While primarily targeting existing pigmentation, these treatments can improve overall skin health, potentially reducing the likelihood of future discoloration. Consistent sun protection is crucial for maintaining results.
Longevity varies by treatment type. Some may last several months, while others can provide results for a year or more. We’ll discuss the expected duration during your consultation.
There are generally only mild side effects, such as temporary redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity. These typically subside within a few days. Our experienced professionals will discuss potential side effects specific to your chosen treatment.
