Say Goodbye to Brown Spots

Before                                              After

As if getting older wasn’t enough of a worry, as we get older we also have to worry about it showing on our face. Our face is invaded by lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and worst of all, dark spots. We try to cover it up with; make-ups, lotions, powders but nothing can seem to really hide those irritating age spots.

Now, you are probably wondering, “Where do these irritating age spots come from?” According to Atlanta Dermatology and Laser Surgery's very own Physician Assistant, Juliena Gigon, these brown spots are caused by multiple factors including: over activation of pigment cells (hyperpigmentation) in the skin and damage caused by the sun.

I bet you are now regretting those years you spent out in sun lathered up with tanning oil, aren’t you? While we can't help you handle your regrets, we can help you to end the hassle of covering up those pesky brown spots and actually say goodbye to them, with Photorejuventation.

Photorejuvenation works by sending light energy into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen in your skin and softening the appearance of aging skin and reducing or eradicating brown spots.  The amount of treatments necessary for each patient varies but most patients need between five to eight treatments.  Treatments are tolerable but topical anesthesia may be applied to minimize patient discomfort.  After treatments, patients can go back to life as usual, there is no downtime. Photorejuvenation is also great for patients that struggle with red/flushed skin, enlarged pores, or rosacea.

It’s time to stop covering up your brown spots and show off your beautiful skin. For more information or to schedule a free consultation, visit our website: www.atlantadermatologyexperts.com or call (404) 296-8000.
