Causes of Sun Spots
- UV Exposure Sun spots are caused primarily by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, which increase melanin production in the skin and result in dark spots.
- Aging As the skin ages, it becomes more prone to sun damage and the formation of sun spots due to the accumulation of sun exposure over time.
- Tanning Repeated use of tanning beds or direct sun tanning can lead to hyperpigmentation and the development of sun spots.
Sun Spot Treatments at Rejuva London
- PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment How it works: PicoSure Pro uses advanced laser technology to break down the pigment in sun spots, allowing your body to naturally clear away the pigmentation over time. It delivers targeted bursts of energy to the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Expected results: A reduction in the size and visibility of sun spots, leading to clearer, more even-toned skin after a few sessions.
- Stellar M22 IPL Treatment How it works: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy targets pigmented cells in the skin to reduce sun spots. The light is absorbed by melanin, breaking down the pigment and helping to fade discoloration. Expected results: Sun spots will gradually fade over several treatments, revealing clearer, more evenly toned skin.
- Chemical Peel How it works: A chemical peel removes the outer layer of damaged skin, helping to reduce the appearance of sun spots. By encouraging the regeneration of new, healthier skin, this treatment can significantly improve skin tone and texture. Expected results: Smoother, clearer skin with reduced pigmentation after a series of peels, with improvement visible after each session.
