Hyperpigmentation Treatment in San Diego That Actually Works

Hyperpigmentation Treatment in San Diego

Hi, I’m Nyree Van Maarseveen, WHNP, CNM, and founder of Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness in Point Loma, San Diego. If you’ve been struggling with dark spots, sun damage, or uneven skin tone, you are far from alone. Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common concerns we treat—and one of the most misunderstood. 


Here’s the truth: not all pigmentation is the same, and not all treatments work the same for everyone. That’s why at Beauty Energy Exchange, we create custom, targeted plans that actually work—with real results, not empty promises.

What Is Hyperpigmentation, Really?

Hyperpigmentation is a fancy word for darkened patches of skin. It can show up as sunspots, melasma, post-acne marks, or age spots. It happens when your skin produces too much melanin in certain areas, and it can be triggered by sun exposure, hormones, inflammation, or injury.

And while it’s totally harmless medically, it can be frustrating to live with—especially when concealer just won’t cut it anymore.

The One-Size-Fits-All Trap

Walk into any beauty store and you’ll see tons of “brightening” creams and serums. But many of these contain generic ingredients that don’t penetrate deep enough to make a difference—or worse, they irritate your skin and make things worse.

You Deserve Better Than Trial and Error

By the time many of my clients come to see me, they’ve tried everything. What they need isn’t another serum—they need a personalized strategy built on skin science, not guesswork.

At Beauty Energy Exchange, we take a multi-layered approach that combines medical-grade treatments, customized skincare, and consistent follow-up. Here are a few tools we use that are truly game-changers:


Chemical Peels (Tailored to Your Skin Type) Acustom chemical peel can help lift away the pigmented layers of skin and trigger renewal. We offer a variety of medical-grade peels—including fully customizable VI Peels—to target pigment, acne, aging, and texture. They improve tone with minimal downtime, and we also offer more advanced options for deeper pigment concerns. Bonus: Peels refine texture, stimulate collagen, and help with breakouts and fine lines—leaving your skin brighter, smoother, and glowing.

Microneedling with Growth Factors or PRP

Microneedling with Growth Factors or PRP

Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and help fade dark spots. We often pair it with exosomes, PDRN skin boosters (salmon sperm facial), or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to speed healing and maximize results. Think of it as a reset button for your skin.

Medical-Grade Skincare You Can’t Get at Sephora You need more than just a nice cleanser. I prescribe targeted, professional-strength products—like retinoids, pigment inhibitors, and antioxidants—that work on a cellular level. These are formulas that deliver visible change, not just temporary glow.

Sun Protection You’ll Actually Use

Let’s not forget the most important piece of the puzzle: sunscreen. No pigmentation plan works without it. I’ll help you find one that’s effective, lightweight, and won’t clog your pores—because if you won’t wear it, it won’t work.

Why Hyperpigmentation Is Stubborn (and How to Beat It)

It Didn’t Show Up Overnight—So Give It Time

Hyperpigmentation is a slow process—and it needs consistent care. That’s why I always set realistic expectations and focus on building momentum. You’ll start to notice brighter, more even skin over time—and that progress will last.

Hormonal and Genetic Factors Matter

Conditions like melasma are influenced by things like hormones, heat, and even stress. That’s why our treatment plans consider the full picture, including internal triggers—not just surface symptoms.


You Deserve to Feel Good in Your Skin

You don’t need to “just live with it.” You don’t need to cover it up. And you definitely don’t need to waste more money on skincare that doesn’t work.

If you’re ready to invest in real results, I’d be honored to support you. Let’s get your skin glowing from the inside out—with a plan that works for you.


FAQs

  1. How long does it take to see results from hyperpigmentation treatments? Most clients begin to see improvement within 4–6 weeks, with full results developing over several months. Consistency and sun protection are key.

  2. Is microneedling painful? It’s very tolerable. We use a numbing cream before the procedure, and most clients describe the sensation as light pressure or scratching.

  3. Can I get hyperpigmentation treatment if I have darker skin? Absolutely. We specialize in safe, effective treatments for all skin tones. Every plan is tailored to your unique needs and skin type.

  4. What causes hyperpigmentation to worsen? Sun exposure, picking at blemishes, heat, and hormonal changes are common triggers. That’s why ongoing care and prevention are part of your plan.

  5. Are these treatments safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding? Some treatments can be modified or postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We’ll go over your options during your consultation and prioritize your safety.
