Do you have discoloration or skin spots on your face and neck? Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, often becoming more noticeable with age. It isn’t a health concern, but hyperpigmentation can decrease your confidence or erode self-esteem. If you’re dissatisfied with how you look, there are a few ways you can get rid of hyperpigmentation before it becomes worse. 
## What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a darkening of certain parts of the skin. It can show up as brown, black, gray, red, or pink patches or spots on your face and neck. Age spots, sun spots, skin discoloration, melasma, or darker patches are all types of hyperpigmentation.
## What Are the Benefits of Treating Hyperpigmentation?
Treating skin spots can give you a range of cosmetic benefits. Getting rid of these pesky patches can restore your complexation and give you a more even skin tone. Treatment reduces sun spots, age spots, and blotches, as well as promote healthy collagen production. You can enjoy smoother skin tone that’s free from blemishes or discoloration.
## How is Hyperpigmentation Treated? 
Everyone is unique, and your treatment options should be too. Hyperpigmentation can be treated in a variety of ways, and you can choose the treatment option that’s best suited to your goals. Some of the best treatments for hyperpigmentation include:
Topical treatments to reduce discoloration and improve skin tone and texture. Look for topical products containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy can also improve dark spots, clear blemishes, reduce large pores, and more. IPL can bring balance and harmony to your skin tone and texture.
Laser treatments can treat sun damage and decrease common signs of aging. Laser treatment applied to darker areas of skin can break down pigmentation. It also stimulates cell growth and cell renewal, leading to glowing, healthy skin.
Chemical peels are an effective treatment option for hyperpigmentation as well as a range of other skin concerns. This topical treatment acts deep within the skin to peel the top layers of skin. This sheds dead skin cells, decreases fine lines and wrinkles, reduces age spots and sun spots, and balances your skin. 
Microneedling also improves the appearance of dark spots by promoting cell growth and skin turnover. Microneedling enhances collagen production, naturally restoring and repairing skin. 
## When Will You See Results?
Some treatments can decrease hyperpigmentation after one or two sessions. You will see immediate improvements in skin tone and a reduction of dark spots. However, when hyperpigmentation affects deep skin layers, more treatments may be needed to reach your desired results. After several treatments, you can enjoy flawless, even skin.
