How to Remove Facial Spots

Facial spots are one of the most common aesthetic concerns among both men and women. Over time, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin aging can alter pigmentation, causing dark or uneven spots that affect the uniformity and brightness of the skin.
Fortunately, there are now highly effective treatments to remove them. In this article, we’ll explain the main causes and the most effective methods to eliminate facial spots, with a special focus on the Laser Treatment for spots offered by Clínica Medicina Estética Mandíbula de Diamante in Barcelona and Madrid.

Main causes of facial spots

Facial spots can appear for several reasons, including:

1. Excessive sun exposure – ultraviolet radiation overstimulates melanin production.
2. Hormonal changes – pregnancy, contraceptive use, or menopause can trigger melasma.
3. Skin aging – as the skin ages, it loses its regenerative capacity.
4. Genetic or inflammatory factors – such as acne scars or small injuries.

Understanding the cause is essential for choosing the right treatment.

Common methods to remove facial spots

Below are the most popular methods currently used, along with their benefits and considerations.

1. Depigmenting creams

• Contain ingredients such as kojic acid, hydroquinone, or niacinamide.
• Help fade superficial spots with constant use.
• Affordable and easy to apply at home.
• Must be supervised by a professional to avoid irritation or rebound effects.
• Visible results after several weeks or months.

2. Chemical peel

• Uses acids (such as glycolic, mandelic, or salicylic) to remove the skin’s outer layer.
• Stimulates cell renewal and evens out tone.
• Ideal for moderate spots and dull skin.
• May cause mild peeling during the first few days.
• Typically requires 4–6 sessions for optimal results.

3. Microdermabrasion

• Mechanical exfoliation that removes dead cells and improves texture.
• Provides instant glow and smooths mild pigmentation.
• Painless and requires no recovery time.
• Not effective for deep or hormonal spots.
• Can be combined with other treatments for better results.

4. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

• Emits broad-spectrum light that targets melanin and superficial blood vessels.
• Improves pigmentation and overall skin appearance.
• Effective for sunspots and uneven tone.
• Visible results after 3–5 sessions.
• Not suitable for very dark skin types.

5. Laser Treatment for spots

• Precision technology that destroys excess melanin without damaging surrounding tissue.
• One of the most effective and safest methods to remove spots.
• Visible results from the first sessions.
• Minimally invasive, with quick recovery.
• Ideal for sunspots, melasma, lentigos, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

6. Natural or home remedies

• Include ingredients like aloe vera, vinegar, or lemon juice.
• May help with recent or mild spots.
• Not recommended without professional guidance, as they may irritate or worsen pigmentation when exposed to sunlight.
• Low effectiveness and unpredictable results.

7. Combined therapy (Laser + Peeling + Serum)

• Combines several techniques for comprehensive results.
• Treats both pigmentation and texture for a radiant complexion.
• Tailored to skin type and level of pigmentation.
