Facial for Dark Spots Palm Beach County

Yes, medical-grade facials can significantly fade and remove dark spots. Our facial for dark spots Palm Beach County uses prescription-strength ingredients (hydroquinone 4%, medical-grade vitamin C 20%, and clinical peels) that penetrate deeper than over-the-counter products. Most patients see visible improvement in 4-6 treatments, with optimal results after a series of 8-12 monthly facials combined with proper home care.

Dark spots result from excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure (sun spots, solar lentigines), hormonal changes (melasma, especially during pregnancy or with birth control), inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injury), and aging (age spots, liver spots). Florida’s intense sun makes Palm Beach County residents particularly susceptible to UV-induced hyperpigmentation.

Melasma appears as larger, patchy brown or gray-brown areas, typically on the face (cheeks, forehead, upper lip), and is triggered by hormones and sun. Sun spots (solar lentigines) are smaller, discrete, well-defined brown spots from cumulative UV damage. Our hyperpigmentation facial treats both conditions, but melasma often requires more sessions and strict sun avoidance for best results.

Most patients notice initial brightening after their first facial for dark spots, with significant fading visible after 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Deeper pigmentation may require 8-12 sessions. Home care with medical-grade brightening products accelerates results. Maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks help prevent recurrence, especially in sunny Palm Beach County.

The best facial for hyperpigmentation combines multiple modalities: medical-grade chemical peels (glycolic, salicylic, or TCA), prescription-strength brightening agents (hydroquinone, vitamin C, kojic acid), and often microneedling or laser for deeper pigment. Our Palm Beach County facial for dark spots is customized by Dr. Clerveus based on your specific type of hyperpigmentation, skin type, and severity.

Without proper sun protection, dark spots can return—especially in Florida’s intense sun. Our facial for dark spots Palm Beach County includes comprehensive sun protection protocols and medical-grade home care to maintain results. We recommend daily SPF 50+, protective clothing, and quarterly maintenance facials to prevent recurrence. Hormonal melasma may require ongoing management.

Hydroquinone 4% is FDA-approved and safe when used under physician supervision for limited periods (typically 3-4 months). Our medical-grade hyperpigmentation facial uses hydroquinone as part of a comprehensive protocol with breaks to prevent rare side effects. We also offer hydroquinone-free alternatives (vitamin C, kojic acid, arbutin, tranexamic acid) for patients who prefer them.

For events, schedule your facial for dark spots 7-10 days prior to allow any mild redness or peeling to resolve. Your skin will have a radiant, even tone perfect for photography. Avoid stronger chemical peels or microneedling within 2 weeks of important events. We offer express brightening facials for last-minute glow-ups at our Palm Beach County location.
