Age spots, brown spots, and uneven pigmentation begin to tarnish our beautiful complexion after 30. In addition, the appearance of natural, age-related red spots is often exacerbated by frequent sun exposure. This is awful news for those of us who enjoy hiking and spending a lot of time outdoors. Thankfully, amazing skin doesn’t always require a lifestyle change. Travis Shaw, MD is happy to provide the wonderful residents of Richmond and Midlothian with a range of brown spot and hyperpigmentation treatment options.
Problems with Age Spots?
Age spots and other similar pigmentation issues are caused by overactive cells. The appearance of age spots, melasma, and sun damage on the face is in equal parts attributed to the “clumping” of melanin and ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. Despite knowing the cause of these spots, their appearance is often unpredictable. Some age spots develop very slowly, while others can appear without warning. Their unpredictable nature, unfortunately, means that we can’t control their onset. However, these spots can be treated once they appear.
Treatment Options for Your Skin
Travis Shaw, MD offers a range of age spot treatment options. These treatments range from non-invasive to minimally invasive and are all FDA-approved for use on the skin. The results of our treatments are guaranteed to deliver understated, yet effective results. You’ll look like a younger, healthier you without any obvious signs of cosmetic treatment.
Lumenis Ultrapulse CO2
The Lumenis laser provides precise age spot removal through the use of pulsating CO2 energy bursts. The treatment’s high rate of rapid energy delivery vaporizes targeted age spots without damaging the surrounding area. The versatility of the Lumenis system allows us to easily alter energy rate and intensity to best suit your particular skin type.
DiamondGlow
This treatment option uses super serums rich with natural, nourishing ingredients to promote skin rejuvenation. DiamondGlows work by first cleansing your skin through gentle exfoliation, then removing debris from clogged pores, and finally saturating your skin in antioxidants to maximize your natural glow.
Medical Chemical Peels
Chemical peel treatments involve the application of mild acids directly to the skin. At Travis Shaw, MD, we begin every consultation with a thorough assessment of our patients’ particular skincare needs. After the initial assessment, we will provide you with chemical peel options based on your age, spot size, and quantity.
BBL Photofacial and Moxi Skin Rejuvenation
BBL and MOXI are powerful treatments for reversing hyperpigmentation, whether used on their own or combined. BBL uses light energy to target dark spots, redness, and uneven skin tone, while MOXI gently resurfaces the skin to improve texture, brightness, and clarity. Together, they deliver radiant, refreshed skin with minimal downtime, but each is just as effective as a standalone glow-up.
Treatment Results for Age Spots
Your age spot removal treatment times and results will vary based on your selected option. At Travis Shaw, MD we work hard to provide you with natural-looking results. All of our options are perfectly calibrated to remove age spots without skin damage or dramatic pigment alterations. Your skin will glow with authentic radiance. You’ll look better, quickly and naturally.
