Treatment of Brown Spots in North Adams

Time is our greatest enemy and it’s particularly fickle for our skin. Sitting in the sun’s harmful rays is the leading cause of age and brown spots. You may have noticed them appearing anywhere that you once tanned — your hands, face, arms, chest, and feet. If you’ve ever noticed them crop up on you skin, then you have probably thought tirelessly about how to eliminate them.

Patients are encouraged to contact Dr. Cavalli regarding any questions they may have about skin spots.

How Did I Get Brown Spots?

When you go out into the sun, your skin is exposed to UV rays. The skin immediately responds by beginning to construct melanin. Melanin is the component of the skin that is its pigment. Melanin will also defend your skin from the sun. Now when you go outside in the hot summer sun, you skin is beamed with UV rays and will create melanin that will manifest itself as a tan. But as we get older and our skin begins to age, our skin might begin to produce the melanin in concentrated areas. This can result in a brown spot. Clients typically observe brown spots developing on the sections of their bodies that have been exposed to the most sun, usually: the face, arms, hands, chest, back, and feet.

How Will You Treat My Brown Spots?

Your brown spots are normally completely harmless but they are unappealing, and many people go to great lengths to cover them up. However, there are now some excellent treatment opportunities that can almost instantaneously diminish age spots.

• Laser Therapy – Possibly one of the most effectual procedure for age spots is laser therapy and the clients have experienced phenomenal outcomes from it.
• Chemical Peels – An additional choice for our clients is our chemo peels. This procedure peels off the top sections of the skin to make room for the new healthy skin underneath.
• Liquid Nitrogen – This procedure involves using a cotton-tipped swab to apply liquid nitrogen to remove the extra pigment. A light cryotherapy treatment with very cold air can be used to target the pigment cells (melanocytes) causing the brown spot to get scaly and flake off after a week or so.
