Overview
Sun Spots
Age spots, sun spots, under eye dark circles or body pigment occurs most commonly on the face, but the body such as the declote, back or arms. A more difficult condition, known as melasma is a more severe form of hyperpigmentation that can be treated or lightened. Pigment spots are commonly known as freckles too. When your skin is exposed to UV rays, it produces more melanin (pigment) to protect the deeper layers. The more sun, the darker the pigment becomes. There are light treatments such as BBL forever young, and IPL, that help to significantly reduce the damage. In office laser treatments, and chemical peels and HydraFacials, are among some of the options commonly used at Anti-Aging.
There are topical treatments too. Skincare such as SkinMedica’s Lytera 2.0 or ZO’s Brightalive or SkinBetter’s Even are useful adjuncts to your laser treatments. With ongoing daily use of sunscreen, you can prevent further damage.
