Skin that has been exposed to the elements may develop age spots, or liver spots, over time. While harmless, these spots will increase in size and quantity with age, giving skin an older appearance. Fortunately, there are a number of options that blend skin tone allowing for a smoother, younger look.
What Causes Age Spots?
Excessive UV light exposure increases the production of melanin. However, just as this process produces a tan, it can also cause melanin to collect over time and create permanent melanin spots. Many also suspect that age spots have a genetic link too.
How Can Age Spots Be Treated?
• Vi-Peel Chemical Peel. Created specifically to reduce the signs of aging, age spots and sun exposure, this chemical peel will detoxify the skin on deeper levels than most peels. How exactly? Unlike standard peels, Vi-peel contains a blend of concentrated vitamins, minerals and Retin-A which combine to permeate and smooth the skin making age spots less noticeable.
• Fraxel Laser. Using laser technology, thousands of microscopic areas of damaged skin are pinpointed and treated to even out scar tissue. This treatment encourages skin to heal naturally, stimulate collagen production, and give the patient smoother skin.
• Microdermabrasion with Ultrasound. Water-based microdermabrasion will repair acne prone and acne scarred skin. Using a gentle two-fold process, these acne scar treatments include a SonoPeel™ and SonoFacial™. The peel exfoliates, plumps, and hydrates the skin allowing for greater absorption of nutrients. The facial follows and provides ultrasonic nutrient delivery directly to the skin.
