More Details:  

Clear skin is a hallmark of skin rejuvenation at Skin Experts, and our goal is for everyone to never need to use make-up. The most common brown spots are lentigines, also known as age spots or sun spots; and freckles. These lesions are due to excessive sunlight exposure, and rarely congenital factors. Lasers are ideal and very effective in removing these pigmented spots after 1-2 sessions.

Melasma is more challenging to treat. It is a common condition among women and is characterized by pigmented patches which are mostly seen on the face. It is often related to sun-exposure, hormonal fluctuations (such as during pregnancy or in patients taking oral contraceptive pills), and circulation abnormalities of the facial veins.

We specialize in the comprehensive treatment of melasma using different modalities including peels, lasers, and home care in order to achieve sustainable clearing of the skin. Strict sun protection and heat avoidance are necessary for any melasma treatment regimen to be successful.

We often recommend a full-face peeling or laser peel for a wholesome clearing of the skin, prior to targeting individual spots with laser.
