Laser Brown Spot Treatments

Patients don’t always care for their skin properly when they are younger, which can lead to the appearance of age and brown spots over time. Daily sun protection and an appropriate skincare routine can prevent signs of aging like spots, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

Age spots are brown spots on the skin that have less to do with age and more to do with sun exposure. They commonly appear on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs – the areas exposed most to direct sunlight. Age spots and brown spots can occur around your 40s and 50s but can appear sooner for individuals that spend a significant amount of time outdoors.

Brown spots form due to an overproduction of melanin. Lasers are a safe and effective treatment option that targets the melanin in the skin without damaging surrounding skin and tissue. The lasers trigger the body’s healing process to break up the pigmentation and boost collagen levels to rejuvenate the skin.

Laser brown spot treatments are long-lasting, and some types of pigmentation can be permanently eliminated. Using sun protection and an appropriate skincare routine, patients can avoid new damage and longer results.

The amount of treatments you will need is dependent on the age, size, and darkness of the spot.

Patients can expect to immediately return to daily activities. Aftercare is simple and straightforward. For the best results, patients should avoid:

• Sun exposure
• Scrubbing the area or intense pressure
• Chemical exfoliants
• Hot water
• Harsh products or self-tanning lotions
