About Dark Spots

What are dark spots?


Dark spots are a collection of overproduced melanin (the pigment that controls skin colour).  These small dark areas on the skin are caused by sun exposure over a long period of time, they can also result from free radical damage. The UV light from the sun increases the production of melanin in the skin, causing irregular dark patches to appear.
