Dark Spots in Phoenix, AZ and serving Arizona residents

Are you tired of dealing with dark spots on your skin and searching for a convenient, effective solution? Look no further!

Dark spots are caused by an increase in melanin, the pigment that gives color to our hair, eyes, and skin. They come in various forms such as freckles, sunspots, melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Factors that can trigger an increase in melanin include sun exposure, hormones, age, and skin injuries. Sun protection is the most important thing you can do to prevent hyperpigmentation!

Here at Aury Health, we will carefully assess your unique skin condition and develop a personalized treatment plan for those stubborn spots.

Common types of dark spots

Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation

PIH occurs after skin inflammation or injury, such as acne, burns, cuts, and inflammatory skin conditions.




Sunspots or Solar Lentigines

Sunspots or Solar Lentigines

These dark spots, also known as liver spots or age spots, are caused by long-term sun exposure. They usually appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.



Freckles

Freckles

Small, flat, tan or light brown spots that are genetic in nature. They are usually more pronounced in fair-skinned individuals and tend to darken with sun exposure.



Melasma

Melasma

Brown or gray-brown patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It is often triggered by hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or oral contraceptive use.

Fluocinonide

  • Mild steroid that can decrease irritation caused by other active ingredients and superpowering the depigmenting effect of tretinoin and hydroquinone.
