Dark knees
I'm dark skinned and but knees are like 3-4 shades darker than the rest of my body I don't have any hormonal issues it's just dark because of my darker complexion and genetics .. it's always been a huge insecurity for me when i wear dresses or anything short.. I've tried topical creams but nothing seemed to work for me even hydroquinone.. Will Chemical peels help fade my dark knees or should i go for laser treatment

Darkening of the knees can be due to various reasons . One of them can be some nutritional deficiencies as an underlying cause . We might have to do some investigations to find out . Once that is corrected , there should be some improvement. We can combine the same with treatments such as peels or Lasers and lighten the pigmentation. It will take a few number of sessions . You can visit us at the clinic or so and online consultation for the same
