Treatment of Brown Spots and Sun Damaged Skin

Many people are unhappy with the effects that prolonged sun exposure has had on their skin.  Hyperpigmentation or brown spots can occur from sun exposure, hormonal changes or after skin injury or infection such as acne.

 At CMG Laser and Renewal Center, we offer state of the art laser treatment of brown spots.

How does it work?

The Alexandrite or 755 laser targets pigmented cells destroying them but causing no damage to the surrounding skin. Both small spots and larger areas can be treated.

Does it hurt?

Most people describe the treatments as similar to a rubber band snap or pin prick.  Numbing cream is available however; most people do not need this.

 What should I expect?

After the laser treatment, the areas will actually become darker.  Eventually over several days to weeks, the lesions will heal and flake off.

 Will the brown spots return?

The best way to assure that the brown spots do not return or darken again is to avoid sun exposure and wear a sun block on a daily basis.  If your hyperpigmentation is caused by birth control pills or hormone use, it may return.
