Brown Spots Removal

Brown spots and hyperpigmentation of the skin can appear at a very young age in children with freckles and as we age, brown spots begin to appear on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun, especially on the face, shoulders, chest and hands. Browns spots can be treated with a number of cosmetic procedures, such as laser, microdermabrasion and peels, and topical treatments. At Aesthetic Edge, our on-site facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Marcus offers complimentary consultations to each patient and will evaluate your skin to determine the best treatment plan for each patient's needs.

 

What are Brown Spots?

 

Brown spots are small or large spots or freckles that are brown in color and appear on the skin, typically on the areas that are exposed to the sun, including the face, neck, chest and hands. These brown spots can cause low self esteem and embarrassment. Brown spots occur when an excess amount of melanin is produced, creating pigment and resulting in brown spots, age spots or freckles. Many light skinned people are affected by brown spots and freckles, however people of all skin colors and types can be affected by these hyperpigmented spots which typically show up after sun exposure. Some people have freckles appear at a very young age, which typically become less noticeable as they get older. The most common causes of brown spots include excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or oral contraceptives, and trauma to the skin.

 

Benefits of Brown Spots Removal

 

There are a number of treatment options for those who would like to reduce and lighten their brown spots. At Aesthetic Edge, we offer a number of cosmetic treatment options for each individual’s needs. Utilizing the most advanced laser technology, we can rapidly and effectively treat brown spots in just one session with the ActiveFX and DeepFX CO2 laser for a long-lasting, dramatic improvement in the hyperpigmented lesions. IPL Photo facials use an intense pulsed light laser to lighten brown spots in a series of 4-6 non-invasive treatments. Laser brown spots removal is a safe treatment producing immediate results. In-office procedures such as Microdermabrasion and medical grade peels mildly improve and lighten brown spots gradually. For topical treatments, sun protection can play a part in fading brown spots over time and bleaching topical treatments that contain hydroquinone, and some with tretinoin and cortisone cream are effective in slowly bleaching brown spots over a period of a couple of months.
