An Effective Treatment for Sunspots

We get visits from people who, after spending a lot of time outdoors in the sun, find that their skin has gradually become blotchy. Sunspots, or uneven pigmentation are a very common side effect of prolonged sun exposure, leaving many searching for effective skin pigmentation removal.

Although you will want to rule out any evidence of skin cancer, in the majority of cases these spots, skin blotches, and uneven pigmentation are harmless but annoying. They can become worse and more bothersome with age as photodamage to the skin worsens. Wearing a good quality sunscreen and avoiding the sun altogether are the best way to deal with this but once the damage is done there are is another treatment option.

Limelight laser is an effective way of improving skin tone and imperfections associated with photodamage. This laser delivers a pulse of light that heats the pigmented area and works to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment may sting mildly but is a comfortable treatment. Results are seen within one to three weeks and, although one treatment is often sufficient, depending on the level of pigmentation, several treatments may be required.
