How to Differentiate Melasma from Hyperpigmentation

The distinction between color sinking and tan spots lies in their differing hues and depths: color sinking involves deeper pigment deposition, whereas tan spots exhibit a lighter coloration. Tan spots generally fall under the category of hyperpigmentation. When facial spots appear, laser treatment can be selected to improve their appearance—reducing spot visibility and yielding clearer, more even-toned skin, thereby enhancing overall facial aesthetics. Approximately seven days after laser treatment, scabbing and subsequent natural shedding may occur; avoid manually picking at the scabs—allow them to detach spontaneously. For effective and safe pigmentation removal, consider visiting a reputable medical aesthetics clinic for glycolic acid peels. Glycolic acid peels work by dissolving aged keratinocytes containing pigment, thereby achieving both spot reduction and skin rejuvenation.
