In short
Hyperpigmentation fades when treatment targets the excess melanin behind dark spots, sun spots, age spots and post-acne marks — and melasma is managed, not just lasered. At IPLLAB we build your plan from IPL/BBL light therapy, PICO laser, brightening chemical peels and medical-grade home care with daily SPF. Sun spots and dark spots on the face usually respond fastest; melasma follows a gentler, longer protocol to control recurrence. Plan on a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, plus maintenance — available at both our Montréal (Plateau) and Laval locations.
Our Signature Treatment
Hyperpigmentation treatment works by targeting excess melanin responsible for dark spots, brown spots, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. At IPLLAB Medispa in Montreal and Laval, we combine laser technology with a customized skincare approach to improve skin clarity, reduce acne-related discoloration, and promote a more even complexion. Our treatments are designed for clients dealing with facial pigmentation, acne marks, and visible signs of sun damage who want clearer, brighter-looking skin. Hyperpigmentation treatment Montreal and Laval clients usually start with a free consultation; our AI Skin Analysis is free with 6- and 10-session packages.

Hyperpigmentation appears as dark spots on the face or body caused by excess melanin. These spots may develop after sun exposure, tanning, inflammation, or skin irritation. At IPLLAB, our hyperpigmentation treatments in Montreal and Laval are customized to target visible discoloration while helping preserve surrounding skin. This approach can improve age spots, sun spots, brown spots, and uneven tone for a clearer, brighter complexion.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) often appears after acne breakouts and can leave pink, red, brown, or darker marks depending on skin tone. Our acne and post-acne treatments use a complex approach that may include laser sessions, skin-renewing care, and medical-grade home products to reduce discoloration and improve skin texture. This treatment is ideal for clients who want to fade acne marks and restore a smoother, more even skin tone.

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition that appears as symmetrical brown or gray-brown patches, often triggered by hormones, genetics, and sun exposure. At IPLLAB, melasma treatment in Montreal and Laval follows a more complete strategy that can combine laser care, skin brightening protocols, and ongoing maintenance to help control recurrence. Every treatment plan is personalized to help reduce visible pigmentation and support a more even-looking complexion.
Treatment Options
💡
Broadband light targets excess melanin in sun spots, age spots and brown spots — a light-based approach to laser pigmentation removal that treats the whole face, chest or hands in one pass. Spots typically darken briefly, then flake away over the following days.
⚫
Ultra-short laser pulses shatter pigment into fragments the skin clears naturally — with minimal heat, which matters on stubborn or deeper pigment. Learn more on our PICO laser page.
🧪
Exfoliating acids speed up skin turnover so pigmented cells shed faster, while brightening ingredients slow new melanin production. Strength is matched to your skin type and built up gradually — especially on melasma-prone skin.
✨
Controlled micro-channels accelerate renewal where breakouts left flat pink or brown marks, and improve texture at the same time. See our microneedling page for details.
🧴
Arbutin and vitamin C serums slow pigment production between visits, and daily broad-spectrum SPF keeps treated spots from darkening again. Home care is what decides whether in-clinic results hold — it is part of every plan, not an add-on.
Step By Step
From first consultation to long-term maintenance
We identify what kind of pigmentation you actually have — sun spots, post-acne marks, melasma, or a mix — along with your skin type and how it reacts to sun and heat. That distinction decides everything that follows, because melasma is treated very differently from a sun spot.
Before pigment work starts, daily broad-spectrum SPF becomes non-negotiable and irritating products are paused. Treating pigmentation on unprotected skin is how spots come back darker than they started.
IPL/BBL, PICO laser or brightening peels run as a series spaced a few weeks apart, matched to your pigment type. Treated spots typically darken briefly, then flake and fade — improvement builds session over session rather than overnight.
Between visits, brightening actives such as arbutin and vitamin C slow new melanin production while the skin clears treated pigment. A short, medical-grade routine beats a shelf of products — and it is adjusted as your skin changes.
Pigment clears at different speeds in different people, so the plan is reviewed as results come in — strength, spacing and modality are all adjustable. Stubborn or deeper pigment may shift from light-based sessions to PICO laser.
Pigmentation — melasma especially — is managed, not erased once and forgotten. A maintenance cadence plus a plan for the sunny months keeps tone even, and catches returning pigment early instead of after a full patch reforms.
Fading pigment is the easy half. Keeping it from coming back is the protocol — sunscreen, home care and maintenance do that work.IPLLAB clinical team · Montréal & Laval
Real Transformations
A good candidate for hyperpigmentation or melasma treatment has visible dark spots, acne marks, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin. Clients with melasma, sun damage, age spots, or post-acne discoloration may benefit from a personalized treatment plan after a skin assessment. A consultation helps determine the most suitable combination of treatments for your skin type and goals. If a spot is new, raised or changing, if your pigmentation appeared suddenly, or if you are pregnant, see a doctor first — our treatments work alongside medical care, not instead of it.
During treatment, most clients feel mild warmth, tingling, or a snapping sensation as the technology targets visible pigmentation. Depending on your customized plan, your session may focus on melasma, acne pigmentation, or dark spots on the face while protecting the surrounding skin. Comfort measures may be used to keep the procedure as gentle as possible.
After treatment, mild redness or temporary sensitivity can appear for a short time. Daily sun protection, gentle skincare, and consistent follow-up are essential for maintaining results, especially with melasma treatment. Most clients need a series of sessions, plus maintenance, to achieve and preserve a brighter, more even skin tone.

Everything You Want to Know
Straight answers about dark spots, melasma & pigmentation care
Melasma is a common pigmentation condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches, usually on the face. It is often linked to sun exposure, hormones, and genetic predisposition. At IPLLAB, our melasma treatment in Montreal and Laval is personalized to help reduce visible discoloration and support long-term skin maintenance. To learn more about the condition, see the Merck Manual.
Hyperpigmentation happens when the skin produces excess melanin, which can appear as dark spots, brown spots, acne marks, or uneven tone. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and sun protection help prevent pigmentation from worsening and support better long-term results.
Dark spots on the face may respond well to a combination of laser treatments, brightening care, and medical-grade skincare. The best plan depends on whether the pigmentation is caused by melasma, acne, sun damage, or post-inflammatory marks. You can also explore our full list of skin and laser services.
Melasma usually responds best to a complex approach rather than laser alone. Depending on your skin, your plan may include laser sessions, brightening treatments, gentle skin renewal, home care, and maintenance to help reduce recurrence and keep the complexion more even — an approach also described by the American Academy of Dermatology.
Treating pigmentation early can help prevent dark spots and melasma from becoming more stubborn over time. Staying consistent with your treatment schedule, skincare, and aftercare recommendations is important because visible improvement is usually gradual.
Do not pick acne lesions, scrub the skin aggressively, or overuse harsh active products if your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation. Irritation and inflammation can make discoloration darker or longer-lasting, especially in melasma-prone skin.
With package pricing, hyperpigmentation and melasma sessions come to $90–$150 per session depending on package size, before taxes — current package pricing is listed in the Prices section below. The 10-session package is the best value, with mix & match sessions across all the treatments in this category. Every plan starts with a free consultation, where your exact cost is confirmed based on the pigment type, the areas treated and the number of sessions your skin needs. Our AI Skin Analysis is free with the 6- and 10-session packages; on its own it is $150 + tax, with a full report printed or sent by email.
Yes — the AI Skin Analysis is free with the 6- and 10-session packages, our full treatment courses. On its own it is $150 + tax and includes a full report, printed or sent by email. The scan maps what is hard to judge in a mirror — dark spots and uneven pigmentation, sun damage, redness, texture and pores, fine lines — and we repeat it during your course to track your progress against your first images. It is an imaging tool that guides your plan, not a medical diagnosis; a spot that is new, raised or changing still needs a doctor first.
Melasma and hyperpigmentation treatment usually requires multiple sessions because pigment reduction is gradual. The number of treatments depends on the depth of pigmentation, your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare. Many clients benefit from a treatment series plus maintenance.
Yes, treatment can be done in summer if you carefully follow post-care instructions. Daily SPF 30+, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and protecting the treated area are especially important for melasma and hyperpigmentation. Our team will guide you based on your treatment plan and season.
IPLLAB welcomes clients at both locations: Montreal medispa and Laval medispa. You can also learn about our membership options or book an appointment online. A consultation helps identify the most suitable approach for your skin type, pigmentation pattern, and goals.
Transparent Investment
Before you book
Pigment treatment is not suitable in every case. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent sun exposure, tanning or self-tanner, an active skin infection in the area, recent isotretinoin, photosensitising medications and a history of keloid scarring are among the situations we review with you before any session. Deeper skin tones carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation and are assessed individually. A spot that is new, raised, changing or bleeding must be checked by a doctor before any cosmetic treatment — our estheticians treat cosmetic pigmentation only. Our treatments work alongside medical care, they do not replace it. A consent form is signed before your first session.
Regular price: $190 + tax per session. A single session with no commitment — ideal if you are visiting Montréal or want to try us first. If you move to a package afterwards, we recalculate: your session is credited at the package rate, just ask us to note it in your client profile. Packages run 3, 6 or 10 sessions — the 10-session package is the best value, with mix & match across all the treatments in this category.

Each session begins with a gentle cleanse and a close assessment of every lesion under magnification, followed by agreeing the priorities for that visit and, if needed, a topical numbing cream. Your specialist treats each targeted lesion with the pinpoint thermocoagulation probe, then finishes with a soothing, protective serum plus aftercare and sun-protection guidance. Across the six visits the plan is staged: prominent marks first, secondary areas and touch-ups later.
This package includes six sessions of 15 minutes each. Treated lesions typically form a tiny crust that flakes away over about seven to ten days, so sessions are usually spaced three to four weeks apart — roughly four to six months for the full course, adjustable to your schedule.
