Brown Spots and Pigmented Lesions

These include many forms of sun damage to the skin, such as age spots, brown spots, freckles, melasma, café-au-lait spots, and seborrheic keratosis. Our laser treatment is generally very effective at removing this pigmentation from the skin, and is the treatment of choice. The treatment may require two or more sessions to completely remove the spots, but one session generally makes a big improvement.

The treatment of brown pigmentation changes are considered permanent, however people do get new spots appearing as they go back out into the sun, getting more tanning, freckles, and pigmentary changes. This new pigmentation forms as a result of sun exposure, and is not the recurrence of the old removed spots. Good sun avoidance and use of sun screens is important if you wish to see your skin free of brown pigmented changes.

A treatment may last from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the the size of the area or number of pigmented lesions being treated. Patients find the discomfort of the laser very tolerable.

Photofacial Laser Treatment
The VBeam and Gentlelase lasers can be used to go over entire regions of the face, neck, back of hands, or other areas to reduce effects of photo aged and photo damaged skin. Redness, small facial veins, and brown spots, malasma and freckling can be significantly reduced or eliminated with the use of these lasers. They will also provide a subtle skin tightening to your skin. Dr. Cole and his nurses will work with you to restore more vital, youthful and healthy skin.

Photofacial laser treatments can be used in combination with microdermabrasion to achieve the best results possible. Our exclusive skin care products will help to enhance and maintain your more youthful appearance.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a method of exfoliating the skin. It uses micro-crystals which are passed over the entire face and neck using a wand. Suction is applied to the treated area during the process to increase the level of collagen produced at the surface. Certain conditions such as fine facial lines, skin discolouration, shallow acne scars, sun damage, large pores and some stretch marks will benefit from these therapies.

A series of treatments is the recommended regime to see significant and lasting results. Maintenance therapy is available and recommended.
