Years of sun exposure can lead to visible skin changes, including lentigines, commonly known as sunspots, age spots, or liver spots. These flat, brown patches develop due to UV radiation exposure, often appearing on the face, hands, shoulders, and other sun-exposed areas. At Embrace Dermatology, we offer advanced treatments to reduce sun damage, lighten pigmentation, and restore a more even complexion.
Treatment
With a customized approach, patients can achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin with reduced sunspots.
At Embrace Dermatology, we provide targeted treatment plans to fade sunspots and improve overall skin tone. Depending on skin type and pigmentation depth, options may include:
Breaks down excess pigmentation, reducing the appearance of sunspots.
Removes damaged skin layers, promoting brighter, more even-toned skin.
Prescription creams that gradually fade hyperpigmentation.
Freezing individual lentigines to remove excess pigment.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments to target multiple sun-damaged areas.
Prevention
Consistent sun protection and proper skin care can help preserve an even skin tone and reduce future pigmentation concerns. To prevent the formation of new lentigines and maintain results, dermatologists recommend:
with SPF 30 or higher to protect against UV damage.
such as wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses.
when UV radiation is strongest.
to support skin renewal and prevent further discoloration.
If sunspots or discoloration are affecting your skin’s appearance, professional treatment can help reverse the effects of UV damage. Request an Appointment today to explore personalized options for achieving healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
