Tranexamic acid is a skin brightener which improves the appearance of dark spots by brightening the skin and inhibiting hyperpigmentation. A good example is Tranexamic Topical Acid 5% for Dark Spots and Melasma with Kojic Acid.

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which loosens the glue that holds the dead cells on the surface of the skin together. Its use therefore results in brighter skin with less visible dark marks. Glycolic acid also enables the skincare products that will be applied afterwards to penetrate the skin better thus making them more effective. A dark spots skincare product which contains glycolic acid is Demelan Cream.
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which loosens the glue that holds the dead cells on the surface of the skin together. Its use results in brighter skin with less visible dark marks. Salicylic acid is very useful for dark spots caused by acne because it also reduces the redness and inflammation of acne and even cleanses the skin pores. The use of this and other chemical exfoliants also enables the skincare products that will be applied afterwards to penetrate the skin better thus making them more effective. A good example is Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant.

Dermatology Procedures for Dark Spots Treatment in Nairobi Kenya
Dermatology procedures used for dark spots treatment in Nairobi Kenya include the following:
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a procedure in which a device with a diamond tip is used to remove the dead cells on the surface of the skin. This reveals the brighter skin below and results in a more youthful appearance which is more even-toned. The removal of the dead skin cells also unclogs skin pores and helps them appear smaller. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products by the skin. Microdermabrasion also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and thus helps the skin continue looking firmer. The gentle vacuuming pressure of microdermabrasion also boosts the circulation of blood in the skin and enhances the delivery of nutrients to the skin. Almasi Skincare offers microdermabrasion for dark spots treatment and we have had excellent results as seen in the pictures below.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure in which a device with needles is used to make tiny holes in the skin. This encourages the body’s wound healing-process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. However it has to be done by an experienced person as it can lead to irritation and the development of more dark spots.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are special solutions which are applied to the skin to remove the top layer of dead cells by loosening the glue that holds the cells together. This reduces the dark spots leaving the skin more even-toned and with a more youthful appearance. It also stimulates collagen production and helps the skin continue looking firmer. Chemical peels also help other treatment and skin care products penetrate the skin better.
