Introduction

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "removing age spots in three days with white vinegar and ginger." While a combination of white vinegar and ginger may have some auxiliary effect on fading pigmentation, the results vary from person to person. For effective pigmentation treatment, options such as glycolic acid peels, gold microneedling, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, photorejuvenation (IPL), or fractional laser therapy are available. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
