Sun Spot Skin Treatments
Treating Patients In San Diego, Scripps Ranch, La Jolla, and Surrounding Areas
Whether you call them age spots, sun spots, or liver spots, most of us would rather see them just disappear. They are simply areas of melanin pigment collection on the skin's top layer. Although they are harmless and pose no risk, these sun spots are unattractive indicators of age and/or sun exposure. Most skin types experience sun spots and they are most common after you've hit middle age.
Dr. Huynh will tell you that the best way to avoid sun spots is to stay protected in the sun, but for most of us, sun exposure is inevitable. Once age spots appear, they are there to stay. However, advanced sun spot treatments can minimize the look of sun spots for complete or partial removal.
At Advanced Eye & Laser Center of California, Inc., we offer IPL Photorejuvunation treatment to help lessen the appearance of sun spots. Through the use of Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, Dr. Huynh can strategically target sun spots with an intense light treatment. IPL delivers intense light to superficial and deep layers of skin, leaving cells in the epidermis unharmed. IPL is quick and effective, and there's little to no down time and minimal discomfort. Within minutes, IPL can give skin a rejuvenated appearance while minimizing the presence of age spots, freckles, and broken blood vessels.
Multiple IPL treatments may be needed to achieve the best results. You'll need to make sure you protect your treated skin from the sun with clothing or strong sunscreen.
Dr. Huynh will discuss your sun spot treatment options with you during your free aesthetic consultation. Visit our IPL page for more information on this effective sun spot treatment.
