Dark Spots

Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, are localized skin discolorations caused by excess melanin production, appearing in various shades from light brown to black and predominantly affecting individuals with darker skin tones.

Dark spots emerge from a complex interplay of factors, including prolonged sun exposure triggering increased melanin production, hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy or medications, post-inflammatory changes from skin injuries or acne, the natural aging process, side effects of certain medications, and skin irritation caused by aggressive cosmetic products or harsh skincare routines.

Treatment for Dark Spots

Chemical Peels – Professional treatments involving the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers, stimulating cell turnover and reducing pigmentation. This process helps to fade dark spots and improve overall skin texture and tone.

Laser therapy – Advanced targeted light treatments that use specific wavelengths to break down excess melanin in the skin. These precise treatments can effectively reduce dark spots while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, promoting a more even skin tone.

Microdermabrasion – A non-invasive physical exfoliation technique that uses tiny crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells. This process not only helps to eliminate damaged cells contributing to dark spots but also stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture and brightness.
