I'm 32 years old, and I have dark spots on my face. I have tried all kinds of products like fade creams, and even tried covering it up with make up. What is the best treatment for these spots?

Answer: Best treatment for dark spots Thank you for the question. This is a very common problem. We treat aging skin with age spots, sun damage or hyper-pigmented lesions with a combination of Silk Peel dermalinfusion with IPL photofacial and a topical skincare regimen. With the Silk Peel we use an infusible serum called Lumixyl (decapeptide 10). The Silk Peel removes the top layers of the skin while Lumixyl infusion potently blocks melanin production. We then use IPL to directly attack the pigmented lesions with light energy. These treatments can then be combined with topical skincare (Lumixyl topical as an example) to give the best and highly effective results. This combimation therapy will also give added elasticity to help with skin laxity and pore size reduction. Hope that helps.

Answer: Treatments for Dark Spots Brown spots on the skin, typically on the face, chest, shoulders, and back of hands can be the direct result of unprotected exposure to the sun. They can also be a result of hormonal changes and are a common skin problem that we consult many of our patients about.The flat spots on the skin, also called age spots, sun spots, solar lentigines, or liver spots (even though they have nothing to do with the liver) are triggered after prolonged sun exposure. When the sun’s UV rays hit the skin, they damage the pigment-producing cells called melanocytes and causing a spike in production of the skin pigment called melanin. They’re common in patients with fair skin, but they can also appear in those with darker skin.These spots range in color from brown to tan to dark brown based on how much sun exposure you’ve had—and cause your skin to look blotchy, freckled, and uneven. And they vary in size, again depending on how much sun you’ve been exposed to.Link to hormones: As hormone levels may change during events such as pregnancy or due to birth control pills, brown, uneven patches can appear on a woman’s face when the skin is exposed to the sun. It seems that sunlight triggers the pigment-producing cells in the skin to go into overdrive. Called the melasma, these dark patches may persist and not improve even with bleaching creams.We commonly treat these brown spots or patches with chemical peels (which exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, removing the dark spots), light therapy and lasers (the energy blasts away pigment).
