for pigmentation like age spots, this is how you get rid of it. Start with a good brightening cream, ideally one that contains kojic acid, niacinamide, and or licorice root extract. Add a vitamin C serum which can also fight free radicals and support collagen production. IPL is a painless in-office treatment. They can usually get rid of spots within just a few sessions. This works for age spots but not necessarily melasma, which is a whole different thing. I cover treatment of both of these in my latest podcast, The Dr. Yoon Show.
