Pigment Marks on the Skin
<< Previous Page
Treatments:
Most skin discolorations can be treated by a variety of means – laser therapy, chemical peels,
prescription bleaching creams, etc. Some of which are more or less effective depending on the type of discoloration being treated. You
will also find a variety of over-the-counter treatments claiming to lighten age spots and discolorations.
The problem with the over-the-counter treatments is one of expectations. People who try these
treatments often expect more than the treatments can deliver. You will never get an OTC bleaching cream or chemical peel formula that
can match the results of a prescription service. While OTC bleaching creams and chemical peels can show results in typically less severe
cases, you have to keep in mind that these treatments are only intended for less severe cases.
You should also make sure you are fully aware of the after-effects and recovery time of any
cosmetic procedure you are considering. Many of the more severe forms of discoloration require multiple applications of laser therapy or
chemical peels before real results are experienced. The recovery periods between treatments and the expense of multiple treatments can
be far greater than anticipated, and is always a point of consideration before deciding upon a course of treatment.
