For individuals with melasma, sunspots, photoaging, or hormone-related hyperpigmentation.
Facial dark spots are among the most visible signs of photoaging and chronoaging. Among the most common, melasma and solar lentigo reflect an alteration in pigmentation processes and a weakening of skin tissue. Treating them effectively means not only lightening the pigment but regenerating the skin from within, restoring its balance, vitality, and resilience. At Image Regenerative Clinic, every pigmentation treatment begins with an accurate dermatological evaluation and develops into an interdisciplinary pathway, where aesthetic medicine and regenerative medicine act synergistically to achieve natural and long-lasting results.

At Image Regenerative Clinic, each treatment journey begins with a precise dermatological evaluation and evolves into an interdisciplinary approach, where aesthetic medicine is integrated with regenerative medicine to achieve visibly natural and clinically lasting results.
The first step is always a specialist diagnosis aimed at identifying the nature and depth of the pigment (epidermal, dermal, or mixed), distinguishing between different types of hyperpigmentation, and detecting possible hormonal or inflammatory factors that sustain its persistence.
When needed, the dermatological evaluation is complemented by an interdisciplinary approach, dermatological, regenerative, and nutritional, to rebalance systemic factors influencing skin response.
Only healthy, metabolically balanced skin can respond effectively to aesthetic treatments.
Melasma, or chloasma, is a chronic facial hyperpigmentation that appears as brown-grayish patches with irregular borders, typically located on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.
It is more frequent in women and may be associated with hormonal imbalances or oral contraceptive use, but is often aggravated by sun exposure and oxidative stress.
Solar lentigines, on the other hand, are small brown spots caused by chronic UV damage.
They are among the earliest visible signs of cutaneous photoaging and reflect the skin’s reduced ability to repair sun-induced cellular damage.
In both cases, the key lies not only in lightening but in restoring the skin’s regenerative capacity.
The real secret at Image to achieving visible and long-lasting results is to regenerate before correcting.
Every skin has its own “biological memory”: if the tissue is fatigued, dehydrated, or inflamed, any laser treatment risks acting only on the surface.
To regenerate means to restore the skin to an optimal state of cellular vitality, oxygenation, and self-repairing ability, so the laser can act precisely, safely, and effectively in depth.
This philosophy translates into the integration of the Lipogems® treatment, an exclusive, signature protocol of Image Regenerative Clinic.
Lipogems® uses one’s own microfragmented adipose tissue, naturally rich in stromal cells and growth factors, to stimulate the biological regeneration of the dermis.
Skin treated with Lipogems® becomes denser, more uniform, and resilient, providing the ideal foundation for subsequent laser treatments.
It is this synergy between autologous regeneration and selective technology that ensures stable, natural, and truly regenerative outcomes.
After restoring tissue health, next comes the use of state-of-the-art lasers, calibrated to target melanin deposits and pigmentation disorders precisely.
They act selectively on pigment, breaking it down into micro-particles that are naturally eliminated through skin metabolism.
The controlled thermal effect stimulates neocollagenesis and improves texture, tone, and radiance.
These treat mixed or vascular-associated hyperpigmentations, improving microcirculation and promoting chromatic uniformity.
The goal is not only to remove the spot but to regenerate a new skin balance, where the tissue regains its natural defense and renewal capabilities.
After the initial treatment cycle, a personalized dermatological maintenance and targeted skincare program consolidates long-term results.
Daily photoprotection is an integral part of the protocol: it protects regenerated skin and prevents new hyperpigmentation.
Periodic follow-up sessions and clinical monitoring help maintain the results over time.

Lipogems® represents the distinctive signature of Image’s approach: an autologous, safe, and natural technology that regenerates skin tissues from within, creating the ideal foundation for any subsequent aesthetic treatment.
This is the difference between correcting and regenerating: the first improves appearance, the second restores biological vitality.
At Image, regeneration is always the starting point, the secret that transforms every treatment into an authentic, stable, and long-lasting result.

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation disorder influenced by hormonal fluctuations, UV exposure, and oxidative stress.
Even when pigment is removed, sun exposure or hormonal triggers can reactivate melanocyte activity.
That’s why a long-term maintenance plan is essential to keep results stable.
The most suitable period is autumn and winter, when UV exposure is minimal.
During the summer, maintenance or preparatory antioxidant and regenerative protocols are recommended to protect and balance the skin.
Yes. Certain oral contraceptives, hormone therapies, or photosensitizing fragrances can exacerbate melanin activity.
Throughout treatment, it’s important to use non-photosensitizing, alcohol-free, fragrance-free skincare products to prevent flare-ups.
Yes, with the right medical protocol.
For darker skin tones, non-ablative lasers with adjusted energy settings are used to minimize post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and ensure safe, controlled results.
Absolutely. At Image Regenerative Clinic, a dermal preparation phase precedes all procedures, using antioxidants, brightening skincare, and microbiome-balancing products.
This step enhances the skin’s tolerance, optimizes laser effectiveness, and minimizes the risk of side effects.
