 Age Spot Removal is a common procedure that is quickly growing in popularity. As we age, our skin tone can change and alter. Regular sun exposure can change the pigment of our skin and in doing so, can create sun spots, age spots, freckles and pigmented lesions on the skin. The most commonly affected areas are the face, neck, chest, arms and hands, but age spots can appear anywhere. As men and women become more body conscious, the demand for smooth, blemish free skin has increased. Because of this, several skin rejuvenation methods have been developed that can help to reduce, and in some cases completely remove unwanted age spots.
Age spots are darkened areas on the epidermis that are caused by an overproduction of melanin in direct response to repeated sun exposure. Sun and age spots are most often benign and resemble freckles, but in some cases, repeated sun exposure can cause these pigmented lesions to become more serious. The most efficient way to stop sun spots and age spots from forming is to limit your sun exposure, which is easier said than done. Wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater at all times will greatly reduce your chances of experiencing changes in pigmentation.
While limiting sun exposure is your best bet for blemish free skin, there are other options available that can help you to reduce, and in some cases remove unwanted sun spots and age spits. Topical bleaching creams such as hydroquinone, azelaic or kojic acid can help men and women to reduce or even inhibit the melanin production to the spots. While these products can be successful, they can take up to six months or even longer to start showing significant results.
Microdermabrasion is another skin rejuvenation treatment that safely and effectively abrades the outer layers of skin to remove dead skin cells. These treatments utilize micro crystals to buff away the top layer of skin to stimulate new skin cell growth and collagen regeneration below the surface. This can help to visibly reduce both sun spots and age spots for a smoother, younger appearance. A series of treatments are needed to see successful results.
The most successful treatments to date for age spot removal are laser treatments. Several types of laser treatments are available for age spot removal, they work to effectively break apart pigmented lesions for a blemish free appearance. The laser penetrates into the skin and the heat and laser light fragment the targeted pigmentation. Once fragmented, the pigment particles are naturally removed through the body’s lymphatic system. After a series of sessions, patients experience a significant reduction in unwanted pigmented lesions. If you are looking to reduce the visible signs of aging, consider any of these innovative treatments today. It’s time to experience evenly pigmented skin that gives you a younger look and feel that lasts!
