Dark Spot Treatment

What Are Dark Spots?

Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation or melasma, appear as brown or gray patches, often on the face. They occur due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This condition is most common in women, particularly those with darker skin tones, and is frequently seen in pregnant women. Although melasma is a persistent and challenging issue to address, effective treatments are available to reduce its appearance and restore even skin tone.

Helpful Tip: Consistency is key when treating dark spots. Follow a dedicated skincare routine that includes high-quality sunscreen to protect against UV damage, which can exacerbate pigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure, and adhere to your doctor’s recommendations for post-treatment care to achieve the best long-term results. Combining treatments with lifestyle modifications, like avoiding sun exposure, can significantly enhance the outcome and reduce the risk of recurrence.
