Who isn’t tired of their dark spots 😪 They are VERY stubborn! And you may be using the wrong products to treat them. But there’s hope. Just follow these 3 steps from our skin doctor:
✅Step 1 – Identify the cause
Dark Spots have many causes and only by identifying the main cause can you eliminate them. Most commonly they are just reddish remnants left behind by some other condition – called Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Conditions like:
Acne
Eczema
Infection
Burns
Bug bites
Allergic reactions
Psoriases
✅Step 2 – Identify the depth of pigmentation
The deeper, older, and darker the pigment is, the harder it is to treat. The superficial ones are easier to fade and treat. A dermatologist can tell you the exact depth.
✅Step 3 – Right products and procedures
After steps 1 and 2, it’s a simple matter of matching the right products and/or procedures to your unique need. Your dermatologist will help you here.
Either it’ll be:
✨Topical Creams: With triple combination therapy – Hydroquinone, Topical retinoids, and Topical Steroids
✨Procedures:
1. Chemical Peels: Removes the top layer of the skin which allows it to regenerate
2. Q-switched Nd: YAG lasers: Shatters tiny fragments of pigmentation or ink and stimulates collagen production
Now that you know the right way to treat your dark spots, let us know if you see any improvements! 🤩
