Uneven skin tone

Uneven tone results from irregular melanin accumulation, chronic sun exposure, post-acne inflammation, hormonal melasma, or aging. UV radiation stimulates melanocytes unevenly, creating hyperpigmentation in specific areas. Genetic factors, oxidative stress, and scarring from previous inflammation also alter natural pigment distribution, contributing to visible dark patches and tone irregularities.

At Santé, we combine Hollywood peeling—deep chemical exfoliation that evens the epidermis—with rejuvenation laser, which fragments melanin and stimulates new collagen. This synergy eliminates spots, refines texture, and restores luminosity. The protocol is personalized based on hyperpigmentation intensity and skin type for maximum efficacy and safety.

We typically recommend 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Visible results appear after the second session: lighter spots and more uniform tone. Progressive improvement continues for 2–3 months post-treatment thanks to collagen regeneration. Optimal results consolidate at 4–6 months.

Hollywood peeling produces controlled warmth; laser is well-tolerated. Minimal downtime: erythema 24–48 hours and mild flaking 3–5 days. Avoid direct sun for one week. No age restriction, though more common from age 30 onward. Not suitable if active herpes, extreme photosensitivity, or recent tanning present. Pre-consultation recommended to assess contraindications.
