Our team of experts is here to help you achieve clearer and more youthful-looking skin through our advanced laser treatments and personalized care.
Understanding Brown Spots and Freckles
Brown spots, also known as age spots, are small areas of hyperpigmentation that typically appear on the face, hands, shoulders, and other areas exposed to the sun. They are common in adults over the age of 50, but can also affect younger individuals due to prolonged sun exposure. Freckles, on the other hand, are small brown spots that often occur in clusters and are a result of an overproduction of melanin.
The Causes
The main cause of brown spots and freckles is exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Over time, this exposure can lead to the accumulation and uneven distribution of melanin, resulting in the appearance of pigmentation issues. Other factors, such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medications, can also contribute to the development of brown spots and freckles.
Treatment Options
At Foley James D MD, we offer advanced laser treatments that effectively target and reduce the appearance of brown spots and freckles. Our state-of-the-art technology allows for precise and controlled delivery of laser energy, gently breaking down the excess melanin in the affected areas without damaging the surrounding skin.
Laser Treatment Benefits
- Highly targeted: Our laser treatments specifically target the pigmented areas, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
- Minimal discomfort: The procedures are generally well-tolerated and require little to no downtime.
- Customized approach: We personalize each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of our patients, ensuring optimal results.
- Long-lasting effects: The results of laser treatments can be long-lasting when combined with proper sun protection and skincare maintenance.
The Procedure
During the laser treatment session, our skilled technician will use a handheld device to deliver short pulses of laser energy onto the skin. This energy is absorbed by the pigment in the brown spots and freckles, causing them to heat and eventually break down. The treated areas may appear darker or scab-like following the treatment, but those will naturally flake off within a week, revealing clearer skin.
Results and Recovery
While some improvement may be noticeable after the first session, multiple treatment sessions are often recommended to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions required will depend on various factors, including the severity of the pigmentation, the patient's skin type, and individual response to the treatment.
Following the laser treatment, it is essential to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure and to follow the skincare regimen recommended by our experts. Applying sunscreen with a high SPF and avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours are crucial in maintaining the results and preventing the recurrence of brown spots and freckles.
