Sun Spots

We all love to enjoy some fun in the sun when it’s nice out…but too much sun exposure can eventually create blemishes on your face, known as sun spots. HVME can help you restore your complexion.

Reclaim Your Clear Complexion Addressing Sun Spots at HVME

We’re all familiar with the ways the aging process can change the way we look…but you’re not alone if you feel as though you’re noticing facial changes that aren’t directly connected to the natural aging process. Any number of factors can have an impact on the way we look, and the sun is often one of the first culprits responsible for undesirable facial changes.

Sun spots—also referred to as solar lentigines—are those stubborn brownish patches that develop after prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays. For many of the patients who come through our doors, they’re not just a cosmetic nuisance but also a constant reminder of the damage our skin absorbs over time.

This is why they’re so excited to learn about what the talented team at HVME can do to help. Our team will utilize an array of advanced treatments—each one able to be tailored directly to your skin type and goals—to significantly reduce the visibility of sun spots and refresh your look.

What Causes Sun Spots?

Sun spots form when specialized skin cells called melanocytes go into overdrive, producing excess melanin in response to being exposed to UV radiation. Over the course of many sunny afternoons, this continuous process can eventually lead to the formation of clusters of pigment that manifest as flat, darkened splotches on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, shoulders, and chest.

Genetics can also amplify one’s propensity for these spots, as can lifestyle choices and daily behaviors like skipping sunscreen or the frequent use of tanning beds. Over time, what starts as a subtle tan or freckle can eventually become a more pronounced, persistent mark that keeps you from enjoying the clear complexion you’re used to seeing in the mirror each day.

Our Treatment Options

When you visit HVME for your sun spot treatment, you’ll start with an informative consultation between you and an expert member of our team. They’ll get to know the nature and severity of your sun spots before recommending an ideal treatment option. Take a look at some of the ways we can help you resolve the presence of sun spots:

IPL Photofacial

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy targets excess pigment by sending powerful bursts of light into your skin. This process encourages darkened cells to break down, causing your sun spots to gradually gradually. With minimal downtime, IPL treatments offer you a convenient pathway to a more even skin tone, boosting both your skin’s clarity and your confidence at the same time.

Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser procedure that effectively addresses the earliest signs of aging and milder pigmentation issues by creating microscopic channels in the upper layers of your skin. This process kickstarts both collagen renewal and cell turnover, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion with reduced visibility of sun-induced discoloration.

Fraxel Laser

The Fraxel Laser system targets deeper pigmentation and more persistent sun spots by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. As these micro-injuries heal, new collagen forms and damaged cells are replaced. Over a series of sessions, Fraxel provides a significant reduction in visible discoloration and a noticeable refinement of your skin’s tone and texture.
