Strategies for treating dark spots & pigmentation of the skin
Dark spots and pigmentation on the skin are also referred to as hyperpigmentation, age spots, solar lentigines, or liver spots. The appearance of dark spots can happen any time, however it is a normal sign of aging. Most often, they are a consequence of UV exposure but can also be a consequence of hormonal fluctuation. Here are some treatment and prevention strategies:
- Sun protection: Wear sunblock and avoid sun exposure to prevent dark spots from forming.
- Topical creams: Over-the-counter and Rx lightening agents, such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, and azelaic acid, can help fade dark spots.
- Chemical peels: A chemical peel uses a solution to remove the top layer of skin and improve the appearance of dark spots.
- Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that removes the outer layer of skin and promotes cell renewal.
- Laser therapy and IPL: Lasers and broad band light can penetrate deep into the skin to break up pigmented cells and fade dark spots.
It is important to remember that it can take time to see results from any dark spot treatment, and some treatments may have side effects or risks. Before starting any treatment, schedule a consultation with the professionals at Learn2Renew to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
