What should I do about the dark spots left on my face after two months of spot treatment?
In general, developing dark marks all over the face two months after spot treatment is due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which typically fades on its own within about two months. If the pigmentation persists beyond this period, in addition to daily sun protection and proper skincare, treatments such as microneedling, hyaluronic acid injections (hydroquinone or nutrient infusions), chemical peels (using fruit acids), photorejuvenation (IPL), and picosecond laser therapy can help improve the condition. For specific recommendations, it's best to consult a dermatologist.
