Can I Get Rid of Sunspots?

Have you noticed discoloration on your skin that just wasn't there before? It might be sunspots, and you may be wondering if they are here to stay.

Unfortunately, while sunspots are common and typically not dangerous, they are permanent and will not fade away on their own. The good news? We have an effective treatment to treat them – for good.

What Causes Sunspots?

Sunspots are flat, brown, or gray patches of skin that frequently appear on areas of the body that have been exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, arms, and shoulders, or even the chest or legs. Despite also being known as liver spots, sunspots have nothing to do with the liver and everything to do with sun exposure.

When our skin is exposed to the sun's harmful UV rays, it produces an excess amount of melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its color, as a way to protect itself from damage. Over time, this excess melanin can clump together, forming the dark spots on the skin we know as sunspots.

While sunspots are more common in people over the age of 40, they can appear at any age, especially in those with fair skin or a history of sun exposure. And while they are usually harmless, many people find them aesthetically displeasing and wish to have them removed. Topical creams only treat the surface and don't penetrate deep enough to truly break up pigment. But laser treatments go deeper.

Treating Sunspots GentleMax Laser Skin Rejuvenation

If you're one of the many people looking to get rid of sunspots, the GentleMax laser skin rejuvenation treatment may be just what you need. This state-of-the-art technology uses targeted laser energy to break up the excess pigment in sunspots, revealing clearer, more evenly toned skin underneath.

Unlike traditional laser treatments, which can be painful and require significant downtime, the GentleMax laser is designed to be gentle on the skin. The treatment is quick, taking only about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area, and requires no downtime, so you can get back to your normal activities right away.

How Does GentleMax Laser Skin Rejuvenation Work?

During the GentleMax laser treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver short pulses of laser energy to the sunspots on your skin. The laser energy is absorbed by the excess pigment in the sunspots, causing it to break apart and be naturally absorbed by the body.

Over the next few weeks, the treated sunspots will gradually fade away, leaving behind clearer, more youthful-looking skin. Most people see significant improvement after just one treatment, but for more stubborn sunspots, a series of treatments may be recommended.

Is GentleMax Laser Skin Rejuvenation Right for Me?

The GentleMax laser skin rejuvenation treatment is safe and effective for most skin types and tones. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, it's important to consult with a qualified and experienced provider to determine if it's right for you.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your individual skin and discuss your personal goals and expectations for the treatment. We will also go over any potential risks or side effects as well as answer any questions you may have about this and other cosmetic treatment options.
