Best Dark Spots Treatment in UAE

How do Dark Spots Develop?

Dark spots, otherwise classified as hyperpigmentation, develop when there is an overproduction of melanin (the substance that the skin gets its color from) in the skin which occurs due to melanocytes. These are neural crest-derived cells that produce melanin and are found in the bottom layer of the epidermis in one’s skin. It can develop at any point in time, but most often, it appears in middle-aged people. The areas that it is usually spotted include the face, back of the hands, shoulders, arms, and back.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, individuals who have medium to dark skin tones are more prone to develop hyperpigmentation and patches because their skin; is prompted by something to produce extra melanin.

The extra melanin in the skin can start to develop because of several reasons, such as:

• Excessive exposure to the sun or artificial UV lights used in tanning beds.
• When a patch of psoriasis or a pimple clears out.
• Changes in the level of hormones in your body like estrogen and progesterone.
• After any wounds/injuries heal – including and not limited to insect bites or burns.
• Upon taking or applying certain types of medication.
• Daily skincare or hair products that cause some form of irritation to your skin.
• Aging can cause the size of the melanocytes to increase.
• The aftermath of acne, liver disease, Addison’s disease, Hemochromatosis (excessive iron), and Pituitary tumors.
• Waxing or through the use of rough scrubs.

Are They Permanent?

As a first step, the root cause should be treated which in turn will help stop any further breakouts. This will eliminate the factor that was triggering the discoloration. Then, as time passes, the spots will begin to fade by themselves. However, the fading process can take time. The estimated time frame for spots that are a couple of shades darker compared to your natural skin tone tends to fade between 6 to 12

months.On the other hand, if the discoloration is deeply embedded in your skin, then it can take years for it to fade. The color is usually noticeable as it is either a particular shade of grey, blue or dark brown.

Therefore, treatment is highly encouraged byNovomed’s team of skin experts, as it can speed up the time frame of the fading process.
