At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic in North York, hyperpigmentation treatment targets brown spots, sun damage, and melasma with a customized approach designed to fade discoloration and even out your skin tone. Every plan is tailored to your skin type and the cause of your pigmentation. Performed by Maryam, a certified medical aesthetician with over 30 years of experience.
Pricing
A targeted session designed to fade brown spots, sun damage, or melasma. Maryam will assess your pigmentation type and build a session plan suited to your skin during your consultation.
Deeper or hormonal pigmentation (like melasma) may require a longer course of sessions for best results.
Is Pigmentation Affecting Your Confidence?
Hyperpigmentation shows up differently for everyone, but there are common patterns clients notice before seeking treatment.
If several of these sound familiar, a consultation with Maryam can help identify the type and cause of your pigmentation and the right approach to treat it.
About the Treatment
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce excess melanin, resulting in brown spots, patches, or overall unevenness in skin tone. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation from acne or injury, and genetics, which is why the right treatment approach depends heavily on identifying the underlying cause.
At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic, Maryam takes a customized approach to pigmentation, combining targeted exfoliation and pigment-correcting techniques suited to your specific skin type and the type of pigmentation you're dealing with, whether that's sun spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks.
This customization matters, especially for deeper skin tones, where the wrong approach can sometimes worsen pigmentation rather than improve it. Maryam evaluates your skin carefully before recommending a treatment plan, and builds in the sun protection guidance that's essential to keeping results long-term.
Sessions typically take 30 to 45 minutes. Because pigmentation forms over time, most plans involve a series of sessions rather than a single treatment, with gradual, cumulative fading over the course of your plan.
Why Clients Choose This Treatment
Targets sun spots and age spots to visibly lighten discoloration over your treatment course.
Reduces blotchiness and patchiness for a more consistent, clear complexion.

How It Compares
Here's how targeted hyperpigmentation treatment compares to other options for improving skin tone.
Is It Right for You?
For clients with defined brown spots from years of cumulative sun exposure.
For hormonally-linked patches on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip that need a careful, gradual approach.
For discoloration left behind after breakouts or skin injuries has healed.
For clients whose skin looks blotchy or inconsistent rather than clear and even.
For pigmentation changes that appeared or worsened after pregnancy or hormonal shifts.
For clients unsure what type of pigmentation they have and what will actually help.
The Science
Understanding the process helps explain why a customized, multi-session approach works best.
Maryam identifies the type, depth, and likely cause of your pigmentation before selecting an approach.
Targeted exfoliation and pigment-correcting techniques work to break up and fade areas of excess melanin.
With consistent sessions and daily SPF, pigmentation fades gradually, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.
Consistent sun protection is essential throughout treatment, since UV exposure is one of the primary drivers of hyperpigmentation.

Meet Your Specialist
Maryam has worked with pigmentation concerns across a wide range of skin tones over her 30+ year career, and understands that no two cases are identical. She takes the time to identify what's actually driving your pigmentation before recommending a treatment plan, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Her experience with deeper skin tones in particular means she approaches pigmentation treatment with the extra care it requires to avoid making things worse.
"Pigmentation takes time to form, so it takes time — and the right approach — to fade properly. I'd rather set realistic expectations than promise an overnight fix."
