Formation of Sun Spots:
Sun spots are a result of overactivity in pigment cells. Exposure to UV lights from the sun’s rays or tanning beds accelerates the production of melanin, a pigment responsible for skin color. After years of exposure, melanin may clump together or be produced in higher concentrations, causing sun spots.
Treatment of Sun Spots:
While there is no medical need to remove sun spots, many people wish to reduce their appearance for cosmetic reasons. Here are some popular treatments available:
Facial Peels:
Chemical peels deliver a special chemical formula to the skin to create controlled wounds. This prompts the surface skin to peel off, allowing a new layer of healthy skin to replace it. Facial peels can reduce sunspots and other skin imperfections.
Laser Treatment:
Skin laser treatments use specific wavelengths to target sunspots. Laser treatments can fade unwanted sunspots and improve overall skin tone by resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen growth.
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment in which crystals are delivered to the skin at high velocity and then immediately suctioned up. It can refine the skin’s texture, increase elastin production, and reduce the appearance of sunspots .
Dermaplaning is a form of gentle exfoliation in which the top layers of dead skin, including sun-damaged skin, are removed using a dermaplaning tool. It can provide smoother and more evenly-toned skin .
