Questions
What patients ask most
Is hydroquinone safe?
Hydroquinone may be appropriate when prescribed and monitored. Response and risk vary, and your clinician will determine whether it is suitable for your skin and how long to use it.
How fast will dark spots fade?
Surface pigment often softens within 6-8 weeks. Deeper melasma or post-inflammatory marks can take 3-6 months.
Will this work on all skin tones?
Your clinician will determine the best treatment path depending on your skin history and target concerns.
