Dark spots, uneven skin tone, and patches of different colors can really affect your confidence and daily life. While these skin issues are very common, they need professional treatment from doctors for safe and good results.
Many people try home remedies or drugstore products, but these often don’t work well and can sometimes make things worse. Understanding why professional treatment is important can help you make the best choice for your skin’s health and appearance.
Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation happens when your skin makes too much melanin (the stuff that gives skin its color) in certain areas, creating darker patches that look different from your normal skin tone.
Common types include:
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – dark spots after acne, injuries, or skin damage
- Melasma – hormone-caused brown or gray patches, often called “pregnancy mask”
- Solar lentigines – sun damage causing age spots and dark patches
- Drug-induced hyperpigmentation – caused by certain medicines
Why Professional Treatment is Important
- Right Diagnosis: Skin doctors can figure out the exact type and cause of your dark spots, which is important for picking the best treatment.
- Medical-Grade Products: Professional treatments use stronger ingredients that you can’t buy in regular stores.
- Safety Watching: Doctors watch how your skin reacts and change treatments to prevent problems like irritation or making spots darker.
- Custom Approach: Every case is different, so doctors create treatment plans just for your skin type, how bad it is, and what caused it.
Professional Treatment Options:
- Chemical Peels: Doctors use different peeling solutions like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and TCA. These remove damaged skin layers and help new skin grow for more even skin tone.
- Laser Therapy: Advanced laser treatments like Q-switched lasers, fractional lasers, and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) target dark spots exactly while keeping healthy skin safe.
- Microneedling with Serums: Professional microneedling combined with medical-grade brightening serums helps treatment products work better.
The Treatment Process at Welona
- Complete Consultation: Our doctors examine your skin, check your medical history, and may use special imaging to see how deep the dark spots go.

Why Home Treatments Often Don’t Work
- Not Strong Enough: Store-bought products have weaker ingredients, making them less effective for serious dark spots.
- Can’t Get Deep: Many creams can’t go deep enough to reach the source of dark spots.
- Risk of Making It Worse: Using DIY treatments wrong can cause irritation, swelling, and make dark spots darker.
The Cost of Professional Treatment
While professional treatment costs more upfront than store products, it provides:
- Faster, more dramatic results
