There are some important things to know about skin spots before Spot Treatment!

A spot is the result of irregular accumulation of the pigment called melanin, which gives our skin its color, under the skin in certain areas of the body. Apart from structural causes, it may be a result of various external factors. However, ultraviolet light is the biggest factor.

As a first step, a careful physical examination and a good preliminary investigation are necessary regarding the skin spots. The causes of skin spots should be determined so that such spots do not recur after the treatment due to the same factors that caused the skin spots in the first place. One should not assume that the spots will not recur since they were treated.

 

What are the treatment methods for skin spots?

A specific treatment plan should be created, involving the following methods depending on the type of the skin spot:

  • Microneedling
  • Fractional Laser
  • PRP
  • Mesotherapy
  • Carbon peeling
  • Enzymatic peeling
  • Dermocosmetics

Treatment of skin spots needs to be carried out meticulously after a good examination. Experience is important. The treatment steps need to be carefully followed by the patient. It is not a condition that can be treated only with the successful application of the method by the doctor, but the collaboration of the doctor and the patient is important.
