What is a pigmentation facial?
A pigmentation facial is a targeted treatment for uneven tone and discoloration. It combines gentle exfoliation — using enzymes and mandelic acid rather than harsh scrubs — with brightening actives and barrier support to gradually lift dark spots and even out your complexion. An LED light add-on can be included to further support brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Pigmentation responds to consistency, not quick fixes. Lara builds a realistic plan around your skin and your triggers, and pairs every treatment with the one non-negotiable for lasting results: daily sun protection.

- Sun spots & sun damage
- Melasma & hormonal pigment
- Post-acne marks (PIH)

Pigmentation facial FAQs
How long until I see results?
Pigmentation fades gradually. Many clients notice brightening within a few sessions, but stubborn spots and melasma take a consistent series plus diligent daily SPF. Lara will set realistic expectations for your skin.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Lara uses gentle brightening actives like mandelic acid that are well-suited to melanin-rich skin, with careful attention to avoiding the irritation that can actually trigger more pigmentation.
Will my dark spots come back?
They can, especially with sun exposure. Daily SPF and a maintenance routine are the difference between lasting results and spots returning — Lara builds both into your plan.
What causes pigmentation in Denver?
A lot of it is sun. Denver’s high altitude means stronger UV year-round, which drives sun spots and worsens melasma. Hormones and post-acne marks are common causes too, and the treatment plan is tailored to which one you’re dealing with.
