LASER PIGMENT TREATMENT
BROWN PIGMENTS & SUN DAMAGE
The sun’s powerful rays can be harmful to our delicate skin. Sun damage, or photoaging, is when the skin undergoes premature aging due to the sun’s effects. This occurs when ultraviolet (UV) light makes contact with unprotected skin, leading to DNA alterations at a cellular level.
Signs of sun damage begin in the teens to early twenties. Symptoms include the following:
Wrinkling
Pigmentation (Age Spots, Liver Spots, Freckles)
Decreased Skin Elasticity
Rough Skin Texture
HOW CAN WE TREAT SUN DAMAGE?
Comfortably reduce large areas of pigmented lesions on your body including hands, arms, legs, chest and back. Laser pigment treatments are comfortable and quick, with no downtime. The length of the procedure itself is dependent on the treatment area. We can treat dark spots, sum damage, and other benign pigmented lesions on all parts of your face and body.
We recommend a series of three laser pigment treatments to ensure desired results. Once treated and healed, these spots typically do not return. Learn how to help prevent new pigmentation from forming below.
HOW CAN YOU PREVENT SUN DAMAGE?
It’s never too late to start focusing your attention on prevention! We, along with dermatologists, recommend utilizing a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which will guard you from UVA and UVB rays.
We also recommend opting for a sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher and water-resistant for a steadfast defense. Reapply every two hours, even on a cloudy day! And don’t forget to apply to your hands!
Spending an extended amount of time in the sun? Opt for UPF clothing!
