Why Sunspots Appear

Sunspots form when the skin produces extra pigment after years of sun exposure. While sunscreen is essential for prevention, existing spots often require more focused treatment to fade.

How Laser Treatments Work on Sunspots

Laser devices target pigment within the skin. The light breaks down the darker areas into small particles that the body naturally clears over time. This process helps the skin look more even and can improve the appearance of age spots, sun-induced freckles, and other dark spots. Modern laser systems enable trained specialists to focus on specific areas without damaging adjacent tissue. Most people describe the sessions as brief and manageable, with little downtime afterward.

Benefits of Choosing Laser Treatments

  • Targets pigment with accuracy
  • Helps the skin look more uniform
  • Sessions are usually fast
  • Minimal recovery time for most patients

To treat each person’s unique skin, a specialist evaluates your skin type, sun exposure history, and goals before recommending an approach. This ensures the treatment aligns with your skin’s needs while maintaining comfort and safety.

What to Expect During Your Visit

A typical session includes cleansing the area, using eye protection, and delivering short pulses of light to the site. Afterward, the treated spot may darken slightly before gradually fading. Most people return to daily activities immediately.

You may need more than one session to reach your ideal outcome. Your specialist will explain how many visits may work best for your skin.
