Dark Spots & Age Spots: Brighten, Renew, and Restore Radiance Naturally

Dark spots and age spots treatments help brighten the skin, renew clarity, and restore natural radiance for a more even, luminous complexion.

What are Dark Spots & Age Spots?

Dark spots and age spots—also known as hyperpigmentation or sun spots—are areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding tissue due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. These discolorations can range from light brown to deep tan or black and are most common on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, chest, and shoulders.

Though harmless, dark spots often make skin appear uneven, dull, or aged. They can develop slowly over years of UV exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation.

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we take a regenerative, whole-skin approach to pigmentation. Our advanced, non-surgical treatments use science-backed technology and your body’s own healing potential to brighten, renew, and even out your complexion—safely and naturally.

What Causes Dark Spots & Age Spots?

Dark spots develop when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) become overactive, creating excess melanin in specific areas. This response is often triggered by sun damage, inflammation, or hormonal fluctuations. Common causes include:

Hormonal changes

Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal therapies can cause melasma, a type of hyperpigmentation.

Aging

Over time, skin cells become less efficient at renewing, causing pigment buildup.

Genetics

Some individuals are naturally more prone to pigmentation disorders.

Sun exposure (photoaging)

UV rays trigger melanin production as the body’s way to protect against sun damage.

Medications or health conditions

Certain antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, or hormone treatments may increase sun sensitivity.

Environmental stress

Pollution and oxidative stress can stimulate pigment formation.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Spots that appear after acne, injury, or irritation.

At Everest, we focus on identifying why your pigmentation is happening—then use regenerative solutions to rebalance the skin, repair damage, and restore even tone at the cellular level.

What Symptoms Will I Experience with Dark Spots & Age Spots?

While these spots are usually benign, many people seek treatment to improve clarity, brightness, and confidence in their complexion.

While dark spots and age spots are generally painless, they can visibly affect the skin’s tone and texture. Common symptoms include:

Flat, round, or irregular patches of darker skin

Brown, tan, or black discoloration

Uneven skin tone or dullness

Clusters of pigmentation on face, hands, or chest

Skin roughness or dryness in affected areas

Freckles or mottled texture due to sun exposure

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Dark Spots?

Before seeking professional treatment, there are a few at-home habits that can help prevent and minimize dark spots:

Wear sunscreen daily

UV protection is the single most important factor in preventing pigmentation.

Use brightening skincare ingredients

Look for vitamin C, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, or gentle acids to fade mild spots

Stay hydrated

Water supports skin renewal and detoxification.

Eat antioxidant-rich foods

Vitamins A, C, and E help neutralize free radicals that contribute to discoloration.

Avoid picking at blemishes

This prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Exfoliate gently

Regular exfoliation helps fade surface pigmentation and boosts cell turnover.

Limit direct sun exposure

Wear hats and protective clothing during peak hours.

If your pigmentation is stubborn, spreading, or deeper in the skin, regenerative and aesthetic therapies can help target melanin at its source and restore a youthful, even glow.

Best Treatment Options for Dark Spots & Age Spots

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we use advanced regenerative and aesthetic treatments that target pigment-producing cells, repair damaged skin, and stimulate new, healthy tissue. Our therapies are safe, non-surgical, and effective for all skin types.

Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Lumecca is one of the most effective treatments for dark spots and sun damage. It uses powerful light energy to break up pigment clusters in the skin, reducing the appearance of discoloration and restoring clarity. Benefits:

  • Evens out skin tone and texture
  • Targets age spots, freckles, and redness
  • Quick treatment with minimal downtime

Morpheus8 (RF Microneedling)

By combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen and encourages skin renewal, helping fade discoloration while improving firmness and texture.

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

This fractional laser treatment removes damaged surface layers of the skin and triggers collagen remodeling. It’s ideal for deeper pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven tone.

PRP & Exosome Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and exosome therapies use your body’s own growth factors and cellular messengers to repair damage, increase circulation, and promote an even, radiant complexion naturally.

Diamond Glow Facial

A gentle yet powerful exfoliating and infusion treatment, Diamond Glow removes dull surface cells while delivering customized serums that brighten and hydrate the skin.

IV Nutrient & Ozone Therapy

IV therapy replenishes antioxidants and nutrients that fight oxidative stress, while ozone therapy improves oxygenation and detoxification at the cellular level—supporting brighter, healthier skin from the inside out.

Functional & Hormonal Optimization

Because pigmentation can be linked to hormone imbalance, especially in melasma, we evaluate and optimize hormone levels to create internal balance for external results.

Every plan at Everest is fully personalized—addressing the cause, not just the appearance, of pigmentation for clear, luminous, and lasting results.
