How do I fade these dark patches and sun spots?
Pigmentation and Sun Damage Treatment in Wymondham
Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, and one of the most important to assess properly, because different types respond to very different treatments.
Sun spots and age spots are small, well-defined areas where years of ultraviolet exposure have caused the skin to make extra pigment. Melasma is a patchier, often hormonal type of pigmentation that can be made worse by heat and by the wrong treatment. Post-inflammatory pigmentation is the dark marking left behind after spots or irritation.
pH Formula chemical resurfacing treats hyperpigmentation by speeding up the skin's natural renewal in a controlled way, helping to lift pigment and even out tone over a course of three. The carbon laser facial uses a laser to break up pigment and refresh the surface of the skin, and can improve the look of sun spots, age spots and uneven tone over a course of six sessions.
Medical microneedling and the AquaFacial support skin renewal and can improve tone and texture together, which helps where sun damage has also caused roughness and fine lines. Dermalux LED light therapy can be added to a course to support the skin as it recovers.
Some rough, sun-damaged patches and raised age spots can be treated with cryotherapy, which freezes the area so it scabs and lifts away as the skin heals. Annie only treats a lesion once she is satisfied it is suitable, and will refer you on if it is not.
Daily high factor sun protection is the foundation of any pigmentation plan. Without it, pigment tends to return whatever treatment you have in clinic. Pigmentation usually fades gradually over several months, and some types, particularly melasma, can be managed but tend to come back.
When this is not the answer. A new or changing dark mark is not something to treat cosmetically until it has been checked. If you are unsure about a spot, mole screening or a visit to your GP comes first.
