Struggling with dark spots, melasma, or acne marks that won’t fade? You may be dealing with deep pigmentation that skincare alone cannot fix.
Pigmentation happens when excess melanin builds up in the skin. Common causes include:
Sun damage (sunspots)
Hormonal imbalance (melasma)
Post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH)
Heat exposure and genetics
While brightening serums and exfoliants can help surface discoloration, many pigmentation issues sit deeper in the skin. Over-the-counter products have limited strength and may not reach dermal pigment.
If your dark spots haven’t improved after 3–6 months of consistent skincare, it may be time for a professional assessment.
