Age spots are a type of hyperpigmentation that form from excess sun exposure.
The skin’s ultraviolet (UV) rays trigger and accelerate the production of melanin (skin’s pigment). The tan you get during the summer is even a form of hyperpigmentation.
Age spots, on the other hand, do not spread evenly. Instead, they clump together, forming flat, dark patches of skin that appear on the face and other areas of the body that have been exposed to the sun.
Age spot removal treatments create controlled injuries on your skin, which stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities and triggers a production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen creates your skin’s framework, providing it with structure and support. It also plays a major role in the process of cellular regeneration (replacing damaged skin cells with new, healthy ones).
Elastin gives your skin the ability to stretch and “snap back.”
As we age, the production of these 2 proteins declines, and sun damage can accelerate the process. It breaks down collagen and elastin, making your skin even more susceptible to aging, laxity, and sun spots.
Our treatments give your body the tools it needs to rebuild a more youthful foundation and overal complexion.
With microneedling, a tool with tiny needles creates micro-wounds on your skin. Although nearly invisible, they kickstart natural healing, collagen production, and skin cell renewal.
This treatment can take up to 1 hour and may require 3 sessions with maintenance.
Laser treatments like Halo and Clear + Brilliant use a precise beam of light to stimulate your body’s natural capabilities.
Clear + Brilliant uses a gentle nonablative laser to bypass your top layer of skin and reach the middle where collagen and elastin are stored. This laser treatment requires no downtime, and results are visible after just 1 session.
Halo uses ablative and nonablative wavelengths, meaning it removes the top layer of skin and reaches your middle layer. This is a more intense laser treatment, which usually requires at least 1 week of downtime. However, as your body starts revealing a fresh, new layer of skin, you’ll achieve a halo-like glow and an even complexion.
This age spot removal treatment uses exfoliating ingredients like glycolic acid and trichloroacetic acid to cause controlled injury to your skin and stimulate collagen production.
Exfoliating the top layer of skin also reveals a new complexion free of age spots. We have a range of peels that vary in intensity from light to medium to deep.
BBL and IPL are like lasers, but instead of using a precise beam of light, they use broad-spectrum light to target pigment and break it up. This way, your body can naturally remove it over time.
However, they differ in how they work. Typically, IPL targets several concerns at once, while BBL targets a single concern at a deeper level.
BBL is one of the most effective brown spot removal treatments. It can even slow time on your skin cell’s aging process, giving them the appearance and function of younger, healthier skin.
