For years I've had to embarassingly deal with dark elbows and knees. I've scrubbed for a while and used lightening skin cream, and they've worked to a degree. But they're not permanent if you don't keep up with it. I'd like to get it over and done with and not be self-conscious anymore. So is there any procedure that can help me? What are my options for this? Thank you so much.
Answer: Skin Lightening of Pigmented Elbows and Knees with Melarase The skin over the elbows and knees are particularly elastic and resilient. You will notice that the pigmentation is more apparent when your joints are extended and the skin overlying the joints is contracted and redundant. The pigmentation is a reflection of the type of skin around the joints and the fact that there is constant friction between these thickened areas and the environment.

Answer: No permanent treatments There are no permanent treatments for dark elbows and knees and some of the darkness comes from the skin redundancy that has to be there to allow your elbows and knees to bend (it's natural!)

Answer: Check out the ViPeel for dark elbows and knees Hi- in my practice, we have had great success treating darkly pigmented areas of the face and body with the ViPeel, a chemical peel formula with a combination of ingredients that work synergistically to achieve the improvement you desire. Occasionally more than one treatment is required, but recovery is easy and the treatments are very effective. You can read more at the ViPeel here
