Age Spots and Freckles
Age spots, brown spots, freckles, and red spots are all skin complaints that
you don't have to deal with anymore.
Aging skin produces problems similar to sun damaged skin. The papillary dermis
(a layer just below the skin's surface) is thinned and the skin becomes flaky and coarse.
Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) can take a variety of forms including common "old age spots,"
waxy hyperkeratosis (thickening of the skin), and melasma (dark, irregular patches).
Different treatments can be prescribed, depending on your particular issues and skin type. Some
treatments we may prescribe include:
- prescription vitamin C in combination with tretinoin (retinoid), clinically proven to thicken
the underlying layer of skin and help exfoliate scaly, dead skin
- hydroquinones clinically documented to diminish pigmentation
- LASER age spot removal
- Obagi skin care products
The goal is to provide you with the most appropriate treatment for your unique skin. For optimal results,
we may combine skin care products with laser peels and
skin
tightening procedures.
