Body Blemishes
Blemishes on the chest, the back, the arms — marks from years of sun or from old acne that left a reminder. Evening out the skin tone is possible, with patience and method.
Understand what is behind it
Body blemishes have a way of showing up right when we want to wear that low neckline, a tank top or the bikini. They are marks on the chest, the shoulders, the back, the arms — and, more than an aesthetic issue, they bring that feeling of uneven skin, aged before its time. It is a concern that affects the desire to show your skin and to feel at ease in your own body.
They appear when the melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, begin to release pigment unevenly. The most common types are solar lentigines (brownish spots from the accumulation of sun over the years, frequent on the chest, back and arms) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening that appears after acne, folliculitis, friction or hair removal).
Identifying the type of blemish is decisive, because each one responds to a different approach — and your phototype matters a great deal: darker skin requires extra care so as not to stimulate new blemishes instead of lightening. Treating without this judgment can make things worse, which is why the assessment comes before any product.
The most modern and effective options
At Instituto Splendore, caring for body blemishes combines topical brightening actives (which regulate melanin production), peels and skin renewal protocols and, in selected cases, specific technologies — all calibrated to your phototype and the depth of the pigment. And there is one non-negotiable pillar: daily sun protection, which treats and prevents at the same time; without it, the sun reactivates the blemishes and undermines the whole effort.
Because each blemish has its own origin and behavior, the protocol is exclusive and personalized, designed during the assessment consultation with Dr. Chris Marchetti — who classifies the type of hyperchromia and defines the actives and techniques at the intensity that is safe for your skin. The brightening is progressive, over weeks to months, with a realistic expectation: blemishes can be significantly softened and the tone evened out, and ongoing prevention is what ensures lasting results.
Here, no treatment is off-the-shelf
There is no single formula. In the assessment consultation, Dr. Chris Marchetti studies your case — your body, your routine and your goal — and designs the exclusive combination of technologies, methods and protocols that makes sense for you.
