Blemishes
What is Pigmentation?
Brown pigment spots (freckles or solar lentigines) are caused by increased melanocyte activity which the skin uses to protect itself from heat, trauma & sun. UV Damage may be caused not only by sun exposure but also by tanning beds. Small red spots termed Angiomas are also commonly found on facial skin.
How do I treat the condition
For multiple brown freckle type spots on any skin surface, laser/IPL treatment is very effective and can be used for either individual spots or covering a larger area such as a full face treatment. Individual red spots either flat or raised may be treated with equal effectiveness by lasers. Other treatments for brown spots depend on the depth of pigmentation for which we can use Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels, Topical Lightening Agents & Tyrosinase Inhibitors along with preventative sun protection.
