Uneven skin tone or dark spots can appear for many reasons — from genetics and hormones to years of sun exposure. Understanding the cause helps determine the right treatment for you.
Small, light brown spots that often appear on the cheeks and nose, freckles are more visible after sun exposure and tend to increase with age. They can be reduced by avoiding sunlight, using SPF 50 sunscreen, and applying skin-lightening creams. For lasting results, picosecond laser treatment offers a safe and effective solution.
These are flat brown spots that appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and legs, usually starting in the 30s to 40s. They can multiply and darken over time, giving the skin a dull or “dirty” look. While sun protection and lightening creams can help lighten them, picosecond laser treatment can effectively remove these spots and restore a clearer complexion.
Melasma appears as brown or greyish patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and jawline, and is more common among Asian women. It’s often linked to hormonal changes, pregnancy, or sun exposure. Because melasma tends to recur, consistent broad-spectrum sunscreen use, sun avoidance, and skin-brightening creams are essential. Oral antioxidants and picosecond laser treatments can further enhance results, promoting a brighter, more even skin tone.
Seen mostly in Asian women aged 30–50, Hori’s Naevus appears as grey-brown spots on the cheeks. Caused by genetic and hormonal factors, this deeper pigmentation doesn’t respond well to creams alone. Picosecond laser therapy, performed over multiple sessions, can significantly lighten these spots and improve overall skin clarity.
