Know the best treatment options for reducing spots on the face:

Laser treatment: There is currently a variety of laser types, but when it comes to dark spots, the ideal choice would be an intense pulsed light laser. This targets melanin and breaks down dark spots.

Microdermabrasion: This involves a special device with an abrasive surface to remove the outer layer of the skin. It is ideal for stimulating the production of new collagen, which helps reduce spots on the skin.

Peeling: It is a process of skin exfoliation, which consists of removing dead cells from the superficial layers of the skin, which in many cases contain melanin and cause spots on the skin.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): This is an autologous and minimally invasive treatment performed with the patient’s own blood, which promotes skin regeneration. PRP acts on scars and spots, improving skin texture and achieving a smoother and brighter appearance. However, its most common and sought-after use is for facial rejuvenation, achieving uniform and homogeneous skin.

You’ve seen that there are solutions to reduce skin spots, it’s just a matter of starting with an evaluation by a professional and following their recommendations. It is best not to opt for home treatments or treatments not recommended by a professional, without prior skin evaluation.
