Dark spots on your face that won't go away no matter how much you scrub, apply, and try to cover with concealer, do you recognize yourself? Pigment spots are super common and can appear for several different reasons, where both sun, hormones, and acne can be the culprits.
But what is actually the best way to get rid of them? Should you get a chemical peel, try laser, or are creams enough? Here we explain what applies, so you can find the right treatment for your skin.
Pigment spots and cause
To know which treatment is best for you, it's important to first understand why the age spots appear in the first place. This is usually due to the skin producing too much melanin in certain areas, causing some areas to be darker than others. This can be triggered by things like sun exposure, hormonal imbalances during pregnancy, or inflammation of the skin after acne.
Pigment spots on the face are not dangerous, but it is clear that you can feel a little dull or uneven in tone. Some spots also stay forever, no matter how much you try to work them off at home. Then it may be time to take a look at our professional treatments here at Estetikcentrum.
Best solution for pigment spots
If you've googled around, you probably know that there are quite a few options, but here are some of the most common and effective ways to treat age spots on the face.
Chemical peel
A chemical peel is a real favorite of ours at Estetikcentrum, where we work in depth to stimulate the skin's natural renewal process. The treatment can be adapted to your specific needs and skin type, and the skin therapist will choose the peel that suits you best. For example, chemical peels can help reduce pigmentation, sun spots, melasma or old acne scars. Single treatments often provide a nice refresh, while a course of several treatments can provide more extensive and long-lasting results.
Laser
Laser treatments also work well against pigment spots, especially when it comes to sun damage or age spots. Laser However, it is not for everyone, as some skin types may react strongly. Our skilled and competent skin therapists will of course help you decide if laser is the right path for you.
Chandler
There are actually good pigment-leveling creams on the market, but many are far too weak to provide results on deeper and darker pigmentation. At our company, we use products from brands like Neostrata and Dermaceutic, which are medically developed and much stronger than what you find in regular stores. Sometimes the right skincare routine can go a long way, especially if you complement it with one of our treatments.
