Brown & age spots Age spots (“liver spots”) and brown spots are facial pigmentation caused by abnormal concentrations of melanin. The production of melanin is triggered by exposure to the sun.
Age spots and brown spots as blemishes of varying intensity, and are associated with genetic predisposition and overexposure to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays – and not necessarily age. They come in different sizes and usually appear on the face, hands and arms.
In the majority of cases, age and brown spots pose no threat – however, they are unsightly and may cause a person to look year older along with other visible signs of sun damage.

How do the laser therapies work?
They use high-energy light to penetrate the skin and target dark concentrations of melanin. The light is absorbed by the targeted spot and destroyed, thus lightening or removing it altogether.
Will my normal skin pigmentation be removed as well?
No, the lasers were specifically designed to target dark concentrations of melanin. After the abnormal amounts of melanin are removed, and treatment continues on normal skin, some whitening could occur. However, your body’s natural melanin over a period of time will return the skin to its natural colour.
Are there any other benefits?
PhotoAcoustic lasers like Medlite and Revlite create a smoother, healthier-looking complexion while stimulating ongoing collagen growth. After the first treatment, you will notice an immediate improvement in the texture and appearance of your skin.
