Typical treatments for skin pigmentation include:

Chemical peels

When topical therapy fails, superficial chemical peels containing salicylic acid and glycolic acid may be used in combination with topical therapies to enhance results and improve the skin’s appearance.

Medical treatments

Dark spots from early sun damage occurring in light-skinned individuals tend to be more superficial, affecting only the top layer of skin. Dermatologists commonly recommend hydroquinone, soy milk, cucumber, calcium, azelaic acid, kojic acid, or arbutin. Other topical treatments are Retin-A or alpha-hydroxy acids.

Daily sun protection with a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays and has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or greater is essential in preventing further sun damage and resulting dark spots.

Q-switched lasers

Q-switched lasers also may be used alone or in combination with topical therapies to selectively target dark spots. Lasers should only be used by or under the direct supervision of a physician.
