Uneven tone & dark marks

Pigmentation needs more care than a color claim.

Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation have many triggers. Visible light—especially blue-violet light—can contribute to pigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones.

How it works

Mechanism before marketing.

Controlled exposure studies have found that repeated visible light can produce immediate darkening and delayed tanning, with stronger effects in darker phototypes in some research.

Red and near-infrared light have separate research on collagen and rejuvenation. That does not make red light a proven treatment for pigmentation, and it should not be presented as one without matching evidence.

What controls the exposure

The variables that change the biology.

    What the evidence supports

    The evidence supports being cautious with visible-light claims for pigmentation. Wavelength, dose, skin tone, condition, and sun exposure all matter.

    What we cannot assume

    Research has boundaries.

    SkynthGoods devices are not presented as treatments for melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A dermatologist can help identify the cause and select evidence-based care.

    Practical use

    Use the technology thoughtfully.

    • Use daily broad-spectrum sun protection; ask a dermatologist whether tinted visible-light protection is appropriate for you.
    • Avoid using blue light directly over an area that is prone to pigmentation unless a clinician or the device’s validated instructions support it.
    • Seek professional advice for new, changing, persistent, or unexplained dark marks.
