Hyperpigmentation is extremely common—affecting 40% of some populations—but many people struggling with this skin condition don’t seek professional treatment. Not all hyperpigmentation is the same, so working with a skin expert to understand your skin is the first step toward clearing it.
When you come to Vively Body Science, you unlock the guidance you need to feel good in your skin again. Here’s a look at our science-backed options for hyperpigmentation treatment near Minnetonka.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
Every one of your skin cells produces melanin (pigment) independently of the others, which can cause only some cells to darken. Melasma, freckles, and dark circles (periorbital hyperpigmentation) are all types of hyperpigmentation.
A range of internal and external factors can trigger these concerns, including:
- Certain medical conditions and medications
- Genetics
- Hormonal shifts
- Inflammation from skin conditions or injuries
- Sun exposure (the #1 cause of hyperpigmentation)
Sun spots, also known as age spots, are one of the most common forms of hyperpigmentation—and also one of the most preventable. That’s why everyone should wear sunscreen every day.

Choosing the Right Hyperpigmentation Treatment
Near Minnetonka, you can choose from a lot of hyperpigmentation treatments, but they aren’t all backed by science. At Vively, your journey starts with a consultation and a VISIA skin analysis so we can understand you and your skin better.

After determining the source of your hyperpigmentation—and considering your skin type, lifestyle, budget, and other needs—we’ll help you choose between our personalized therapies, which include:
- BBL Forever Young: Uses broad-spectrum light to target melanin and blood vessels, reducing dark spots and redness.
- Chemical Peels: Chemical mixtures that remove the outer layers of damaged skin where surface-level hyperpigmentation occurs.
- ClearSilk: A non-ablative laser that stimulates collagen production to address skin tone and texture irregularities.
- Halo: Combines ablative and non-ablative laser energies to address deep and surface-level pigmentation concerns.
- HydraFacial: Uses a vortex cleansing system to exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse brightening serums to even out your skin tone.
- Ionix Oxylight Facial: A combination of oxygen and light therapy that stimulates skin cell repair and breaks down melanin deposits.
- Microneedling: Creates tiny “micro-injuries” to trigger skin healing, helping your skin replace damaged cells with new ones.
- PRP Injections: Delivers platelet-rich plasma to help your skin repair itself from the inside out.
It’s important to see a licensed professional for your hyperpigmentation treatment, as some skin treatments can worsen hyperpigmentation rather than improve it. For example, some lasers trigger your body’s inflammatory response, which can cause your skin to produce more melanin.
