Freckle Removal
What Are Brown Spots?
Ever notice that even after your best efforts at protecting your skin from the sun, you can still develop brown freckling and discoloration on your skin? When certain patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area, brown spots, age spots, or hyperpigmentation can occur in a few larger spots or many smaller ones. You might recognize these as freckles. But age spots do show up on other areas besides the face, such as:
- Back
- Shoulders
- Back of the Hands
- Arms
- Chest
If these spots are something you struggle with, we can help. At Wave Medical Aesthetics, we provide personalized care to ensure you remain comfortable and receive the results you deserve. Get in touch to learn more about our treatments for pigmentation issues.
What Causes Brown Spots?
While the sun is the most common culprit for brown/age spots, other factors can cause hyperpigmentation to develop:
- Hormonal Changes (Melasma)
- Diabetes
- Irritation from Cosmetic Products/ Chemicals
- Inflammation from Skin Conditions such as Eczema or Psoriasis
- Medications
- Wounds/ Scarring
Most age spots are harmless, but if they appear suddenly, itch, tingle, or bleed, it may be time to see a doctor.
Treatment
One of the most effective options for brown spot removal is the IPL PhotoFacial. This treatment is non-invasive and often doesn’t require any downtime after a session!Most sessions last 30-60 minutes – giving you time to relax and rejuvenate. Once your IPL Photofacial is finished, your skin may look slightly red in appearance, like a dissipating sunburn. That should subside in a few days, leaving behind a flawless, fresh complexion.
