Sun spots, age spots, and pigmentation can develop over time, often due to ageing and increased sun exposure. These spots typically appear as darker patches of skin, most commonly on areas frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, backs of the hands, décolleté, and sometimes other areas of the body.
What Causes Sun Spots and Pigmentation?
The primary cause of pigmentation is prolonged sun exposure. UV rays stimulate melanin production, which, over time, can lead to clusters of pigment forming in the skin. Pigmentation may also occur as a result of skin trauma, such as acne scarring, or as a natural part of the ageing process. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to reduce these spots and help restore a brighter, more even skin tone.
1. Prescription Medical-Grade Skincare (Obagi Skincare)
Obagi Skincare products are powerful, prescription-grade solutions designed to improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation. With active ingredients that work to fade dark spots and rejuvenate the skin, these products are an excellent choice for ongoing pigmentation management and for maintaining results from more intensive treatments.
2. Mesoestetic Peels
Our range of MesoPeel MD treatments, including Melanostop Peels and Melanoplus Touch, offers targeted depigmentation. These chemical peels help reduce pigmentation while evening out skin tone and enhancing brightness. Melanoplus Touch is particularly effective for stubborn pigmentation, creating a more uniform complexion.
3. TCA Peels
TCA peels provide a deeper exfoliation, effectively targeting focal pigmentation on areas like the backs of the hands or the face. This peel fades stubborn spots, revealing fresher, more evenly toned skin and is versatile for treating pigmentation in smaller, concentrated areas.
BBL (BroadBand Light) and MOXI Treatments
BBL and MOXI treatments are considered the gold standard for pigmentation. BBL uses light energy to target and break down pigment, while MOXI resurfaces the skin for a smoother, more even
5. BBL and Halo Treatments
For more extensive pigmentation, a combination of BBL and Halo laser treatments offers a comprehensive solution. Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that targets both the surface and deeper layers, reducing pigmentation, smoothing texture, and enhancing radiance. Together with BBL, this approach delivers a powerful rejuvenation effect, ideal for areas like the face and hands.
