Brown spots, also known as age spots, are usually a result of excessive sun exposure, and while prescription creams (usually with hydroquinone, retinoids, or mild steroids) can help fade the spots, there are also some procedures to get in-office that are dark spot remover.
In general, multiple treatments are required for the desired results, and some requirements must be done before and after the treatment. One example is the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) procedure. It uses multiple wavelengths to treat brown pigmentation and age spots and targets melanin-making cells without harming the skin’s surface. The best candidates for IPL are those who have not been exposed to UV light for a few weeks, are not on medications, don’t use retinol cream, are not pregnant, or have severe acne.
Microdermabrasion is another option in which a dermatologist uses a unique device with an abrasive surface to remove the outer layer of the skin. This treatment will help improve dark spots as it will promote new collagen growth, which may help reduce pigmentation. Microdermabrasion typically requires several sessions over several months to achieve the best results.
Finally, we mention the PicoSure Laser Skin Rejuvenation, an advanced technology that uses intense photothermal impact to treat pigmentary conditions without damaging the skin’s surface. It has been much recommended for pigmentation problems, and it acts by delivering ultra-short (around trillionths of a second) pulses to the skin to stimulate elastin and collagen production. It also uses pressure wave technology to break the pigmentation into tiny pieces. Outstanding results can appear without downtime or damage to the skin’s surface.
In conclusion, while brown spots on the skin do not require treatment, many people look for these procedures to remove the spots for cosmetic reasons.
