Sun Spots/Age Spots
Also known as "Liver Spots". These darkened areas are usually most
prevalent in the sun exposed areas of the body such as the back of the
hands, face, shoulders and chest. Treatment options include "spot treating"
isolated pigment areas to treating entire areas of the face, neck, arms,
back and shoulders.
Freckling
Superficial pigmentation, especially on the nose and cheeks can
be treated with IPL with two to three treatments over a period of several months.
Hyperpigmentation
Often due to repeated sun exposure, especially in fair skinned patients,
and is successfully treated with IPL.
Melasma
Often the most difficult type of hyperpigmentation to treat. This
condition usually occurs secondary to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy
or with the use of birth control pills. Many treatments may be necessary.
A consultation with our RN laser technician may be helpful to
determine the best treatment option for you.
