Fade dark spots, melasma, and uneven tone for clearer, brighter, more even skin — with a plan built for your skin type.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Hyperpigmentation — sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory marks, and melasma — is one of the most common skin concerns, especially in sunny Arizona. Natural Results treats it with a tailored plan that may combine medical-grade topicals, chemical peels, and light-based treatments, chosen carefully for your skin type. Care is overseen by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®).
Treatment may combine medical-grade brightening topicals, chemical peels, and light-based options like IPL for sun spots. Melasma in particular requires a gentle, conservative approach to avoid rebound.
A consistent home regimen and daily sun protection are essential to lasting results.
Pigment fades gradually over a series of treatments and consistent home care. Maintenance and sun protection prevent recurrence — pigment readily returns with sun exposure.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.
