SUNSPOTS & AGE SPOTS

For pigmented lesions such as sunspots and age spots due to sun damaged skin and other factors, results become apparent a few days after the first treatment. For darker and well-defined spots in which the melanin is close to the surface, 1-3 treatments are typically all that is needed. With treatment, these spots often turn slightly darker and “grayish”, after which they become “crusty” and simply flake off in 3-7 days leaving perfectly virgin skin underneath. For larger pigmented areas in which the melanin is deeper and irregular such as melasma or café-au-lait, progressive fading will accumulate over 3-6 successive treatments until you have achieved the improvement you desire.

Treatments and proper skin care. Immediately following most laser procedures, patients will experience some redness and slight swelling of the treated area, which usually dissipates within a few hours, though in rare cases may last a few days. To enhance the results and promote the overall long-term health of your skin, specially formulated medical-grade moisturizers, exquisite skin care regimens and makeup (if desired) are applied to the treated area immediately after each procedure. Additionally, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment.

Depending on the underlying medical conditions and life style factors that give rise to these pigmented lesions, such as sunspots and age spots, periodic maintenance treatments may be needed for optimal, lasting results.
