Skin Spots
How to Treat Them?

Overview

Spots on the face are a common problem that affects people of all ages. These spots can appear for various reasons, such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, or even as a consequence of some skin lesions. At our Aesthetic Center, we offer a variety of treatments that can help eliminate or reduce these spots, restoring the uniformity and natural brightness of the skin.

Why do I have spots on my face and how can they be eliminated?

• Sun exposure: Ultraviolet radiation is one of the main causes of skin spots. Treatments such as Q-Switch laser and intense pulsed light are effective in removing these spots and unifying skin tone.
• Hormonal changes: Melasma, a form of spots caused by hormonal changes, can be treated with chemical peels and mesotherapy, which renew the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.
• Aging: Age-related spots, known as age spots, can also be effectively treated with Q-Switch laser or Erbium laser.

What type of treatments exist to improve spots on the face?

At our Aesthetic Center, we have advanced treatments that allow reducing or eliminating spots on the face effectively. Some of the most recommended are:

• Q-Switch Laser: This laser is ideal for treating deep and resistant spots, without damaging the skin surface.

• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Perfect for treating sun spots and superficial pigmentations, improving overall skin tone.

• Chemical Peel: Exfoliates the skin to remove pigmented layers, promoting a more uniform cell regeneration.
• Erbium Laser: Ideal for treating spots caused by scars or sun damage, promoting deep skin renewal.

Do spots on the face worsen over time?

Spots on the face can worsen over time if not treated properly, especially if the skin continues to be exposed to the sun without protection. It is essential to combine the appropriate treatments, such as intense pulsed light or chemical peel, with daily use of sunscreen to prevent spots from darkening or new ones appearing.

What types of spots on the face are there?

• Melasma: Dark spots caused by hormonal changes, more common in pregnant women or those taking contraceptives.
• Sun spots: Appear due to prolonged sun exposure and are usually light or dark brown.
• Age spots: Dark spots that appear over the years, especially on exposed areas like the face and hands.

What results can I expect with the treatments offered?

Results depend on the type of treatment and the severity of the spots, but in general, you can expect a significant reduction of spots and an improvement in the uniformity of skin tone. Treatments like Q-Switch laser and intense pulsed light are very effective in lightening spots. At our Aesthetic Center, we design a personalized treatment plan to ensure you get the best possible results.
