Discouraged by dark spots? Tired of having to cleverly use makeup to camouflage your imperfections?

If you answered yes to those questions, you might wonder, “How fast can I get rid of dark spots on black skin?”

Why Do I Have Dark Spots on my Skin?

Dark spots (hyperpigmentation) are caused by the overproduction of melanin. They can be the result of sun damage, hormonal changes, or wound healing, among other things. While they can show up anywhere, they are frequently found on areas that get the most sun exposure.

What Treatment Options Are Available for Dark Spot Removal?

Your dermatologist will discuss with you all options but many patients choose professional complexion blending. This is a technique that uses both laser technology and dermatologic and spa treatments to remove dark spots and even out your skin’s tone and color.

Is This Treatment for Dark Spot Removal Safe?

Absolutely! In fact, it is safe for all skin types, races, and ethnicities.

How Fast Can I Get Rid of Dark Spots on Black Skin?

Everyone responds differently to dark spot removal. You might see improvement with only one treatment, but it’s possible it could take a series of four to six for you to see significant improvement.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dark Spot Removal?

During your consultation, your dermatologist will provide you with a more in-depth answer to your question, “How fast can I get rid of dark spots on Black skin?” You’ll also have a medical evaluation to make sure the treatment is safe for you.

In general, if you’re healthy and wish to get rid of uneven skin color and tone, then you’re likely a great candidate!
