Are brown spots all you see when you look in the mirror these days?

If so, you’re not alone. Genetics, sun damage, and age all play a major role in the appearance of brown spots and other cosmetic concerns. Brown spots can appear on the face, neck, and hands making us look years older than we are.

Brown spots can have an adverse effect on your self-image but they don’t have to. With the newest equipment and the latest advances in technology available, you can say goodbye to pesky brown spots for good.

So, what are your options?

At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center, we off several great options that can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Talk to your dermatologist to find out which option may be right for you.

• IPL Photorejuvenation: IPL treatments use intense, broad-spectrum light wavelengths to target pigmentation deep beneath the surface of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. Clearer skin tone can be achieved in as little as 2-4 treatments spread 3-4 weeks apart. There is virtually no downtime with IPL Photorejuvenation treatments.
• Chemical Peels: Chemical peels are a more aggressive treatment method designed to improve skin tone and texture by exfoliating the uppermost layers of skin. As new skin emerges, skin appears smoother with fewer irregularities. Anywhere from 3-6 chemical peels are usually used to achieve optimal results.
• Fraxel Laser: Fraxel laser resurfacing uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen production and renew the skin’s surface. The procedure provides dramatic results with minimal pain or downtime. Patients typically require anywhere from 2-4 treatments for maximum skin tone improvement.

You spent the summer months spending as much time outside as possible – or at least, enjoying the sunshine from an air-conditioned room in your home!  From backyard barbecues to sightseeing trips with the family, you enjoyed every second of the summer sun.

Now that fall is finally here, you’re noticing your skin is paying for all that time spent in the sunshine. Hyperpigmentation – red or brown discolorations on your skin – has started to crop up all over your skin.  It’s not just getting in the way of your perfect complexion…

It’s making you look older before your time.

If you’re looking for ways to get rid of pigmentation that occurred during the summer, it’s time to contact Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. and Aesthetic Center for a fall consultation.  Our specialists will help get your skin ready for the cooler months – and just in time for the holidays!

One of the best ways to get rid of hyperpigmentation and skin discolorations is through Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation, a versatile treatment that helps minimize sun damage.  This treatment uses a broad spectrum of light rays to target and treat discolorations.  All of this is done without causing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, which is key for promoting your best skin ever.

At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. and Aesthetic Center, we use the Lumenis M22 to deliver pulsed light to the skin.  Most patients only need a series of two to four treatments spaced three to four weeks apart.  The treatment can be customized to suit different skin types and colors, making this a great option for patients looking to reserve discolorations from the previous summer. Each session lasts about thirty to forty minutes.  There’s no downtime associated with the treatment; side effects include sensitive skin, redness, and slight itching.
