Dark spots and sun spots treatment in Dubai

Not every dark spot should be treated the same way, and some should be examined before any cosmetic treatment.

Dark spots and sun spots treatment in Dubai — Manhal Medical Center, Dubai
Quick answer

Dark spots can be sun spots, marks left after acne, melasma or — rarely — a lesion that needs checking. A dermatologist identifies the type first, then uses lightening creams, chemical peels or selected laser treatments, always combined with daily sun protection.

Key facts

  • Diagnosis before treatment
  • Creams, peels or selected lasers
  • Skin-type-appropriate settings
  • Daily sunscreen protects results

Types of dark spots

Sun spots (lentigines), post-inflammatory marks, melasma patches and moles or lesions that need assessment.

Treatment options

Prescription topicals, chemical peels and lasers chosen for skin type to avoid rebound pigmentation.

Protecting results

Broad-spectrum, ideally tinted sunscreen every day in the UAE, reapplied outdoors.

Pigmentation has several causes — sun, hormones, inflammation — and melasma in particular can worsen with aggressive treatment. A dermatologist chooses gentle, evidence-based combinations.

Reasonable price and great location. Great experience so far I had my laser done and very happy with the result. So I decided to purchase another package :)

Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.
