Age Spots and Sun Spots
Your face, hands and arms are the first parts of the body to show signs of aging because they receive so much exposure. Sunlight, the elements and the natural aging process all contribute to the development of dark spots and freckles. Age spots and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions. They are caused by excess production of melanin in the skin. Melanocytes are the cells that manufacture melanin (the dark pigment in skin). Most of us have some form of pigmented lesion. While spots and freckles may not be medical emergencies, many of our patients would like to have them removed. Fortunately, our advanced medical lasers enable us to remove these distractions safely, easily and effectively.
