About Dark Spots

Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be a common skin concern for many individuals. Increased pigmentation on the face, hands, arms, and legs can cause self-consciousness and desire for a more even complexion. For individuals wanting confidence and a brighter appearance, understanding dark spot causes and treatments is important.


It sometimes results from the body producing too much melanin, though this is not the only possible reason. Melanin is the pigment responsible for giving our skin its color. When its production becomes irregular, dark spots can form. Sun exposure without protection, hormonal changes, skin traumas, and drugs might boost melanin production. 

What Works Best To Remove Dark Spots?

Laser skin resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a revolutionary dark spot or age spot removal treatment. This advanced treatment gently removes damaged skin with concentrated beams of light. It targets the melanin responsible for dark spots, effectively lightening their appearance and minimizing their visibility. 


During the procedure, the specialized laser device emits precise beams of light onto the darker areas of your skin. These beams gently remove the damaged skin layers, allowing fresh, healthy skin to emerge.

Are There Any Restrictions After Dark Spot Removal?

If you stick to the following guidelines, you should have no issue getting the outstanding outcomes you've been looking for:


Limit Sun Exposure

Avoid direct sunlight for at least two weeks after the laser removal procedure. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 whenever going outside. Use protective clothing, such as hats and long sleeves, to shield the treated area from the sun's harmful rays.


Avoid Swimming and Hot Tubs

Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or water bodies for at least two weeks post-treatment. Chlorinated water and excessive heat can irritate the treated area and prolong healing.


Limit Physical Activity

Avoid strenuous activities, including heavy lifting and intense workouts, for the first week following the laser removal procedure. Engaging in rigorous exercises can cause excessive sweating and friction, which may hinder the healing process.


Skincare Product Restrictions

Avoid exfoliants and scrubs for two weeks. Opt for gentle and non-irritating cleansers, moisturizers, and suitable makeup products for sensitive skin.


Avoid Tanning Beds

Steer clear of tanning beds or artificial tanning methods for at least two weeks after the laser removal procedure. The intense UV radiation emitted by tanning beds can interfere with healing and potentially cause adverse effects.


Minimize Touching and Picking

The treated area may get infected, scarred, or take longer to heal if you touch, scratch, or pick at it. Keep the area clean and follow the provided aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications.


Follow-up Appointments

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with us to monitor the healing progress and address any concerns. Regular check-ups ensure that the treated area is healing properly and allow for timely intervention if any complications arise.

What I need to know before the procedure

Before starting dark spot laser therapy, take these steps to maximize benefits and reduce risks:


Consultation and Skin Evaluation

Before scheduling your laser treatment, it is imperative to schedule a consultation with our expert esthetician. Our specialists will assess your skin, dark spots, and suitability for the procedure during this appointment.

Excessive sun exposure can increase the risk of complications during and after laser treatment. Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and sunbathing for at least two weeks before your scheduled procedure. If you must go outside, use broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen.


Discontinue Certain Medications and Products

Inform our specialists about any prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking. They will guide whether any medications must be temporarily discontinued before the procedure. Avoid retinoids and exfoliating products before treatment to prevent skin irritation.


Follow Pre-Treatment Instructions

Our specialists will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions that you should strictly adhere to. These guidelines may include cleansing your skin, avoiding cosmetics, and avoiding activities that could impair the process.
