Dark Spot Treatment
Specialized aesthetic clinic for Dark Spot Treatment in Puerto Vallarta
At Éclat Smile, we treat facial pigmentation with medical protocols that combine in-clinic procedures and a home routine. Puerto Vallarta's strong sun makes spots and melasma very common, so every plan starts by identifying the type of pigment and its cause. We then choose the safest combination for your skin type to even out your tone and keep spots from coming back.
What is it and how do dark spot treatments work?
Dark spots appear when the skin produces excess melanin because of sun exposure, hormones, inflammation or acne. Treatment works on three fronts: removing pigmented surface cells, slowing new melanin production and protecting the skin from the triggers. Dermatology guidelines combine strict sun protection with topical agents, and add procedures such as chemical peels, microneedling or light-based treatments. Tranexamic acid, applied or injected into the skin, has shown significant reduction of melasma in published reviews.
It is applied to concerns such as:
-
Melasma
-
Sun spots and age spots
-
Post-acne marks
-
Uneven or dull skin tone
