Understanding your skin
Understanding Dark Spots, Uneven Skin Tone, and How to Treat Them
If your skin has started to look uneven—whether it’s from sun exposure, hormonal changes, or past breakouts—you’re not alone.
Pigmentation is one of the most common concerns we see, especially in areas like Kaysville and throughout Davis County where outdoor lifestyles and sun exposure are part of everyday life. Over time, UV exposure and internal triggers can cause melanin (the pigment in your skin) to become unevenly distributed, leading to dark spots, patches, and a dull or inconsistent complexion.
What makes pigmentation frustrating is that it often doesn’t respond to a single treatment—and in many cases, it returns if it’s not approached correctly.
At Gióva, we take a more comprehensive view. Instead of focusing only on what’s visible, we look at what caused it, how deep it sits in the skin, and what your skin can safely tolerate over time.

Why Pigment Happens
Pigmentation can develop for a number of reasons, and often it’s a combination of factors rather than just one.
Sun exposure is one of the most common contributors. Over time, UV rays stimulate melanin production, which can collect in certain areas and form sun spots or age spots.
Hormonal changes can also play a role, particularly in conditions like melasma, where pigment appears in larger, patchy areas of the face. Inflammation—whether from acne, skin irritation, or even aggressive treatments—can leave behind lingering discoloration long after the initial issue has resolved.
This is why two people with “dark spots” may require completely different treatment plans.
Why Some Treatments Don’t Work (or Make It Worse)
One of the biggest misconceptions about pigmentation is that it should be treated aggressively.
In reality, over-treating the skin—especially with heat or energy-based devices used incorrectly —can worsen pigment or cause it to rebound.
Some pigmentation sits on the surface. Other types live deeper in the skin.
Without understanding the type of pigment you have, it’s easy to:
- choose the wrong treatment
- disrupt the skin barrier
- or trigger more discoloration
Melasma and post-inflammatory marks need an individualized approach. New or changing spots should be medically evaluated before cosmetic treatment.
A More Sustainable Approach to Clear Skin
Improving pigmentation is a process.
It requires consistency, the right treatment timing, and a plan that respects your skin’s limits.
When done correctly, your skin becomes brighter, more even, and more resilient—with results that feel natural and long-lasting.
Your questions, answered
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
What’s the best treatment for sunspots?
Lumina IPL can improve visible sunspots and some types of discoloration. The right choice depends on your skin type and the type of pigment you’re experiencing.
Can laser treatments improve sun damage?
Laser and light-based treatments can improve visible signs of sun damage. Lumina IPL targets pigment, while Skin Revival Erbium resurfacing focuses on skin renewal, texture, and clarity.
What’s the difference between Lumina IPL and Erbium?
Lumina IPL uses light energy to address pigment and certain vascular concerns. Erbium laser resurfacing renews the skin’s surface. Lumina Renewal combines these approaches for patients who would benefit from both.
Can chemical peels help with pigmentation?
Professional chemical peels can improve some types of discoloration. Your provider selects the peel and treatment timing according to your skin’s needs.
Can melasma be treated?
Melasma can often be managed with an individualized plan that includes skincare, sun protection, and carefully selected procedures. It can be sensitive to heat and inflammation, so not every light or laser treatment is appropriate.
How many treatments will I need?
That depends on the type and extent of pigmentation, your skin’s response, and the treatment selected. Some concerns respond to a single session; others need a series and ongoing maintenance.
