Dark spots and hyperpigmentation are common cosmetic concerns that affect many people. They are caused by an excess production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin. Some factors that can lead to dark spots and hyperpigmentation include sun exposure, aging, hormones, inflammation, acne scars, medications, and skin conditions.
Fortunately, there are several medical dermatology services and treatments that can help:
Chemical peels
Microdermabrasion
Laser therapy
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy
Topical medications, such as hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, vitamin C, retinoids,and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), that inhibit melanin synthesis or exfoliate the skin
