Brown Spots

The treatment of brown spots depends on what type you have:

  1. Lentigines or Age Spots:

               These are flat, smooth light brown spots or blotches

               found on sun-exposed areas like your cheeks, hands,

               and legs.  They are best treated with the Medlite 532

               Laser Facial.

      2.  Seborrheic keratoses:

                These are raised, soft 'tumors' that start to form on

                our body and face in adulthood.  They are best treated

                with focal, high-strength chemical peeling or cryo-

                therapy.

      3.  Melasma:

                Melasma is a difficult condition of abnormal brown

                pigmentation on the face that is related to hormones

                and pregnancy.  Treatment requires a combination

                approach with prescription-strength creams and

                lasers.

       4.  Moles or Nevi:

                Moles usually form in the first two decades of our

                lives.  They go deep into the skin and are best

                treated with surgical shaving or excision.

A note about melanoma:

If you have a pigmented growth that is changing size and color or evolving in any way, please contact your doctor or a general dermatologist for a skin check to rule out melanoma.
