Pigmentation spots – also known as hyperpigmentation – are a common skin concern that many people wish to treat for aesthetic reasons. They occur due to an overproduction of the skin pigment melanin and often appear as dark patches on the face, hands, décolleté, or other body areas.
At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we use modern, skin-friendly methods to reduce pigmentation spots and, in many cases, remove them completely.

Causes of Pigmentation Spots

Before starting treatment, it’s important to understand the causes:

• UV radiation – The most common cause; sunlight stimulates melanin production.

• Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal contraceptives.

• Skin aging – Age spots develop from long-term sun exposure.

• Skin injuries – Inflammation or acne can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

• Genetic predisposition – A natural tendency toward pigmentation issues.

Can Pigmentation Spots Be Completely Removed?

The honest answer: In many cases, yes – but not always permanently.
The results depend on:

• The depth and severity of pigmentation

• The cause and skin type

• The chosen treatment methods

• Consistent aftercare and sun protection

Superficial pigmentation spots can often be completely removed. Deeper or hormonally caused spots can usually be significantly lightened but not always fully eliminated.

Professional Methods at MONLIS Studio Munich

1. Chemical Peels
AHA, BHA, or TCA peels gently remove the upper layers of skin, stimulate cell renewal, and fade pigmentation spots.

2. Laser Treatments
Targeted laser pulses break down excess melanin without damaging surrounding tissue.

3. Microdermabrasion
Mechanical exfoliation of the skin surface for a more even complexion.

4. Professional Brightening Serums and Masks
Used as part of a treatment course, they help reduce mild hyperpigmentation.

5. Combination Treatments
Often, several methods are combined to achieve optimal results.

Aftercare and Prevention – The Key to Long-Term Results

Even the most effective treatment cannot prevent pigmentation spots from forming again without proper care. Essential steps include:

• Daily sun protection with SPF 30–50, even in winter

• Avoiding direct midday sun

• Regular moisturization to strengthen the skin barrier

• Antioxidant serums (Vitamin C, Niacinamide) to prevent new spots
