Age Spots, Brown Spots and Freckles

< BACK TO COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY

Age spots, benign brown spots and freckles are one-part genetic and one-part sun damage. As you grow older and exposure to UV light accumulates, this hyperpigmentation of the skin may become more noticeable. Many people choose to address these spots for cosmetic purposes and thankfully we have several effective options to help you. At your consultation visit, we will formulate a treatment plan that best suits your specific goals and fits your lifestyle to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

Treatments

Laser and Light-Based Treatments
Laser and light-based treatments can be effective at treating age spots, brown spots and freckles by targeting melanin in the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. These treatments can break up pigmentation, stimulate collagen production and trigger the body’s healing process.

Other treatments may be used for age spots, brown spots and freckles as part of a custom approach, including chemical peels, which exfoliate the outer skin layers with acid solutions, promoting new, evenly toned skin; and cryotherapy, which targets spots by freezing and destroying pigmented cells with liquid nitrogen, leading to the formation of new skin as the treated area heals.
