Uneven skin tone can be difficult to treat and to manage effectively. For patients that have experienced any sort of dark spots, sun spots or uneven complexion before, these visible manifestations can form due to a variety of reasons and factors, thus making them so tricky to handle.

So, what can be done to achieve brighter + smoother skin? There are several things that can support any brightening regimen. Restoring a healthy cellular renewal cycle helps to eliminate surface uneven skin tone. At the same time, normalizing skin complexion will promote skin’s resiliency against future discoloration triggers.
