Hair, skin, and eye color can all be naturally darkened by exposure to the sun or chemically altered in the production process. Those with darker complexions are at risk of developing hyperpigmentation and dark spots when they spend a lot of time in the sun. The longer one spends in the sun, the more damage is done to the skin, resulting in increased pigmentation. Dark spots and discoloration can also appear if one uses too much skin-blending makeup. By visiting Cienega Med Spa and utilizing skin lightening treatments, patients can find relief from unwanted dark spots. Here are some of the reasons why a patient should consider having a skin lightening treatment.
i. Remove Age Spots
Age spots are caused by the increased exposure to the sun over a long period of time. The spots are usually darker in color and irregularly shaped. Age spots can be commonly found on the hands, face, shoulders, and arms. More common in those who are middle-aged and beyond, they can appear as early as a person’s thirties.
ii. Treat Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, the body’s natural protection against UV rays, builds up more rapidly in the skin. This can be caused by severe sun damage, hormonal changes, or other medical conditions. The skin can also appear darker and more pigmented as a response to sun, medications, or trauma.
iii. Treat Dark Spots
Dark spots are just like age spots, but they can also arise from trauma and some skin conditions. They are usually darker than hyperpigmented areas, and they often appear in large clusters. They may also be confused with freckles.
iv. Dark Underarmed
Dark underarms are a common side effect of sun damage. They are usually darker than normal skin and can be mistaken for an injury. If underarm skin is sensitive to shaving, the resulting rash can increase dark spots.
iv. Treat Blackheads
Blackheads are a form of acne that develops when cells in the follicle become trapped, causing spots to appear on the skin’s surface. This may be caused by overproduction of sebum, which is a natural oil that lubricates the skin’s surface. Blackheads are usually black or dark in color, but they can also be brown or yellow.
Skin lighteners can provide relief from unwanted hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and blackheads. They are safe to use when used responsibly without harmful side effects. Patients with darker complexions can find relief and a healthier skin appearance by scheduling a skin lightening treatment at Cienega Med Spa.
