How to remove dark spot on your face?

Dark Spots: Discuss chemical peels and laser therapy with your dermatologist. Chemical peels involve using citric acid to remove the damaged top layer of skin from the face. It will remove brown spots and even skin tone. Laser therapy uses an intense light to bring healthy red blood cells to the skin's surface.

Age spots: The most effective way is to undergo a series of 4 photofacial treatments. Less effective treatments include a variety of lightening products.

Depends: If it is simply sun-damage, some topical treatments, a chemical peel, or a laser treatments may be a good option. However, if the lesion is concerning for melanoma, it needs to be biopsied. Melanomas are screened by the abcd's: a-asymmetry; b-irregular borders; c-different colors; d-diameber >6mm (size of pencil eraser). If you notice a mole with these characteristics, get it checked out asap.
