Is it possible to remove pigment spots with traditional remedies?
Unfortunately, carrot, and cucumber mask, parsley mask, celandine leaves will not help to remove pigment spots. As well as cosmetic means, like serums, masks, peels.
Why? The epidermis of the skin (the topmost layer of the skin) has 5 layers: corneal, shiny, grainy, prickly, and basal. Such agents affect only the corneal layer (the uppermost layer of the epidermis), while melanin, which affects the appearance of pigment spots, is located in the lowest fifth layer of the epidermis, the basal layer. Thus, folk remedies only help to lighten the pigmentation, but not to remove it. Cosmetic products properly chosen by your beautician-dermatologist will help to prevent the appearance of new pigment spots.

The method is widely used throughout the world to remove freckles and other skin defects associated with its colour. The laser is absorbed only by hyperpigmented areas.
