For people with sun spots, spreading freckles, post-breakout marks or a blotchy complexion who are ready to commit to sunscreen every single day.
A realistic, sun-smart plan for spots and uneven tone.
Irritation can darken pigment, so we start with the mildest effective peel and build up only if your skin stays calm.
Heat can aggravate melasma, so when pigment is the main concern we lean on peels rather than heat-heavy treatments.
Melasma can be managed but tends to return, so we set honest expectations and suggest a dermatologist for diagnosis and prescription options.
What to expect, step by step
A cosmetic appointment does not establish the cause of a dark patch. Seek a dermatologist for suspected melasma, a changing spot or an uncertain diagnosis.
The menu contains several named peels, but skin tone alone does not decide which one is appropriate. Discuss the exact product, previous irritation, current treatment and the risk of worsening discoloration.
Ask about the proposed goal, likely skin response and limitations. Do not select a treatment because of a guarantee that warmth, tingling or redness will end within a fixed number of minutes.
Discuss recovery around your real outdoor schedule. The dark-spot guide and melasma guide explain why diagnosis and an appropriate protection plan matter.
Each option suits a different kind of discoloration.
Gentle, hydrating exfoliation for dull, uneven or sensitive skin, and a cautious way to begin with melasma-prone skin. See the lactic peel.
Refreshes tone and texture with little visible peeling, useful when post-breakout marks sit alongside enlarged-looking pores. Learn about BioRePeel.
TCA with hydrogen peroxide plus kojic acid, a brightening ingredient, for uneven tone combined with fine lines or laxity. Explore PRX-T33.
Circadia’s low-downtime peel alternative for mature skin, which our menu lists for brightening and uneven tone.
Crystal exfoliation that lifts dull surface buildup. Alternate it with peels on separate weeks rather than stacking them.
Hydradermabrasion with serum infusion for a hydrated, even-looking glow between peel sessions.
A 30-minute visit to sort sun-related spots from post-breakout marks and decide whether a dermatologist should take a look first.

Pigment care planned around Boca Raton's UV and heat
UV in Boca Raton stays moderate to high even in winter, and daily drives along Glades Road and window-side desks add up, since UVA passes through glass. That is why pigment work here is as much about protection as exfoliation. Many clients start a peel series in fall and keep maintenance going through season. Heat matters too: hot cars, hot yoga and steamy kitchens can make melasma look darker.

Every peel mentioned here lives on our chemical peels page. If your marks came from breakouts, pair pigment work with our acne treatment options, and if spots come with fine lines, compare anti-aging treatments such as PRX-T33 and microcurrent.
Melasma usually improves with a combination of strict sun and heat protection, gentle regular exfoliation and patience. Daily tinted mineral sunscreen with iron oxides helps block the visible light that can darken it. A dermatologist can confirm the diagnosis and discuss prescription options, and gentle peels can support that plan.
Melasma is considered a chronic condition. It can lighten a lot, but sun, heat, hormones and pregnancy can bring it back, so most people need ongoing maintenance and sun protection rather than a one-time fix.
It depends on your skin. For sensitive skin or a first peel, the lactic peel is the most cautious starting point. For spots alongside rough texture, BioRePeel is a good fit, and for uneven tone plus fine lines, PRX-T33 with kojic acid is often chosen.
Surface discoloration often looks lighter after three to six sessions over several weeks, but it depends on how deep the pigment sits and how strictly you protect your skin. Deeper spots fade more slowly, and some may need medical care from a dermatologist.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, reapplied every two hours outdoors. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are well tolerated, and tinted versions with iron oxides add protection against visible light, which matters for melasma.
More UV, more visible light and more heat all signal pigment cells to produce more color. In Boca Raton, that means summer can undo spring progress unless you step up sunscreen, shade and hats.
Daily sunscreen matters most. Beyond that, ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, azelaic acid and retinoids are widely used to help uneven tone look more even, while prescription options such as hydroquinone should come from a dermatologist. Add one new active at a time and pause strong actives before a peel.
Any inflammation, from a pimple or bug bite to a burn or an aggressive scrub, can leave a flat dark mark as the skin heals. These marks often fade on their own over months, and sun protection plus gentle exfoliation can help them look more even sooner.
Pregnancy often triggers melasma, sometimes called the mask of pregnancy, but most professional peels are not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding. Focus on mineral sunscreen and shade for now, and ask your OB before any treatment.
No. SWiCH is a Circadia treatment our menu offers as an alternative to chemical peels. It is aimed at mature skin with dullness and uneven tone and has little downtime, which suits clients who want a break from acids.
