Pigment Spots
Pigment Spots on the Skin
Pigment spots appear when melanin production becomes imbalanced in certain areas of the skin. This overproduction can be triggered by various factors, and depending on their origin, they may be called age spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, or simply brown spots on the skin.
- Melasma, also known as the "mask of pregnancy," is often caused by hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or while taking oral contraceptives. It typically appears on the face as irregular brownish patches.
- Age spots are linked to natural aging and repeated sun exposure over the years. They often appear on exposed areas like the face, hands, and décolleté.
- Other types of brown spots on the face or elsewhere on the skin may result from inflammation (acne, cuts, irritations), the use of photosensitizing products, or hereditary factors.
Understanding the cause of your pigment spots is essential for choosing the most suitable treatment. Fortunately, solutions exist to visibly reduce their appearance and restore a more even complexion.
Treatment for Brown Spots on the Skin
If you’re concerned about the appearance of pigment spots on your skin, know that solutions are available. When you choose Luxe Dermato-Esthetic, an experienced dermatologist will thoroughly analyze your skin, medical history, and goals before recommending a treatment. They can also screen for skin cancer if a spot appears concerning. Depending on the nature and intensity of your pigment spots, we will propose a tailored and safe treatment plan from several proven professional options.
IPL Lumecca Photorejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), performed with the Lumecca device, is a non-invasive technology that effectively targets brown spots caused by sun exposure, aging, or pigmentation imbalances. Using filtered light pulses, IPL selectively heats the melanin in the spots without damaging surrounding tissues. This process helps visibly fade pigment spots on areas affected by photoaging, such as the face, décolleté, hands, and arms.
Result: A clearer, more even complexion and visibly rejuvenated skin after just a few sessions.
Alma Hybrid (Fractional CO₂ and Non-Ablative Laser)
This cutting-edge technology combines two types of lasers for optimal effectiveness: an ablative fractional CO₂ laser, which promotes deep skin regeneration, and a non-ablative fractional laser, which works beneath the skin’s surface without damaging it.
In its regenerative mode, Alma Hybrid visibly corrects multiple signs of skin aging, including age spots and other pigment spots. In addition to reducing brown spots, this treatment improves skin texture, stimulates collagen production, and contributes to a more even, radiant, and visibly rejuvenated complexion.
PlexR Plus (Non-Surgical Plasma Technology)
PlexR Plus, a non-surgical medical plasma technology, is particularly effective for treating deeply embedded pigment spots or slightly raised skin spots.
Through ultra-precise micro-sublimation on the skin’s surface, it eliminates unwanted pigmented cells layer by layer without damaging surrounding tissues. This targeted action reveals a more even complexion while stimulating collagen for a rejuvenated, radiant skin tone, typically with a very short recovery time.
