I had a wonderful experiences at Providence Dermatology today. Dr. James and Beth made me feel so cared for and heard. I can’t possible recommend them enough.
My experience with Dr. James was nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to interact with him on a couple separate occasions, and each encounter impressed me more and more. He is professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about all things dermatology and beyond.Moreover, he is both an excellent listener and teacher. He never left a visit without asking multiple times “any more questions?” in a welcoming and non-judgmental manner. He took the time to make me feel heard, and did an excellent job explaining things in a way I could understand. I also felt very reassured by each of his answers to my questions and have come to thoroughly trust his expertise.Couldn’t recommend him highly enough — both my wife and I have seen him and would strongly encourage anyone seeking dermatology insight to seek him out!

Hyperpigmentation FAQs
What causes hyperpigmentation?
Sometimes, a person's body may automatically make more skin pigmentation than required. Several environmental and health factors might also increase an individual's risk for areas of pigmentation, like specific medications, skin trauma or injury, and sun exposure.
How long does the treatment for hyperpigmentation take?
The quantity and length of laser hyperpigmentation procedures at Providence Dermatology will differ for each patient and will depend on the severity of each condition. In general, each appointment lasts about half an hour, and most women and men can typically diminish their hyperpigmented skin concerns over 3 – 4 sessions completed one month apart. Once you've had your treatment consultation with Dr. James, our team members will review specific details surrounding your cosmetic treatment.
Can hyperpigmentation return after treatment?
While hyperpigmentation treatments effectively reduce dark spots, pigmentation can return, especially if the underlying causes are not addressed. Factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, and certain medications can contribute to the recurrence of hyperpigmentation. Consistent use of sunscreen and protective measures, along with maintenance treatments, can help manage and prevent the return of hyperpigmentation.
Are certain skin types more prone to developing hyperpigmentation?
Yes, individuals with darker skin tones are generally more prone to developing hyperpigmentation due to higher levels of melanin in the skin. When the skin experiences trauma or inflammation, such as acne or sun exposure, these skin types are more likely to produce excess melanin, leading to hyperpigmentation. However, hyperpigmentation can occur in all skin types, and the risk factors can vary depending on genetic predisposition, environmental exposure, and lifestyle habits.
Can hyperpigmentation be prevented?
Preventing hyperpigmentation involves taking proactive steps to protect the skin from known triggers. Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on cloudy days, can significantly reduce the risk of developing hyperpigmentation caused by UV rays. Avoiding skin trauma, such as picking at acne or using harsh skin care products, can also prevent the formation of dark spots. Additionally, maintaining a consistent skin care routine that includes antioxidants can help protect the skin from environmental damage that may lead to hyperpigmentation.
How long does it take for hyperpigmentation to fade naturally?
The duration for hyperpigmentation to fade naturally can vary widely depending on the severity of the discoloration and the individual's skin type. In some cases, mild hyperpigmentation may begin to lighten within a few months, especially with proper sun protection and gentle skincare. However, more stubborn or deep-seated pigmentation can take several years to fade and may require intervention to speed up the process. Factors such as ongoing exposure to UV light or skin trauma can prolong the time it takes for hyperpigmentation to diminish.
