Sun & Age Spot Removal

Sun spots are the result of contact with UV rays. They can develop gradually over time as a result of repeated sun exposure. You might also hear the terms age spots, liver spots, and solar lentigines applied to these spots. They are most common in people over age 40, although you can develop them earlier.

There are multiple options for sun spot removal. A nice bonus is that these all have added benefits, such as fewer wrinkles and a glowing skin. With just a few virtually painless spot removal treatments at Skinsense, you can transform your skin from spotted to pleasantly clear and even-toned.

Effective Sun Spot Removal Options

Depending on the type, depth and density of your pigmentation, from age spots to birthmarks to melasma, we have an array of effective treatments.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL)

Otherwise known as a photofacial, IPL uses laser technology to target pigmented cells. By working with a variety of different wavelengths, it focuses on the dark spots, causing the cells to heat up and be cleared by your body. Afterward, new cells come in to replace them.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a treatment that stimulates your body�s natural healing response to improve all sorts of skin conditions, including sun spots. Microneedling stimulates your skin to produce collagen and repair areas that have been compromised by the UV rays and other factors. After this treatment, you will enjoy brighter skin and fewer signs of aging, including sun spots. It is also effective against acne scars, stretch marks, and other issues.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a treatment that exfoliates your skin on a professional level. It uses a hand-held device that gently polishes away the sun-damaged skin. Like a chemical peel, it removes the top dermal layer and gets rid of the cells that show evidence of aging. In the process, it encourages the production of newer, more youthful tissue. In some people, it can also cause the skin to produce more collagen.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the gentlest skincare options. It is like a light version of dermabrasion and uses a similar process to resurface the skin on a deeper level. If you want to pursue a more intense way to get rid of your sun spots, dermabrasion is another option for you, but it is not safe for all skin types, and for many people, it�s not necessary. Microdermabrasion offers a balanced approach that is more effective than your at-home exfoliating products but easier on your skin than dermabrasion.
