Brown Spot Treatment
If you're looking for brown spot or hyperpigmentation treatment in Miami, our physicians specialize in treating melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation, blotchy pigmentation, and brown spots can be caused by sun exposure, trauma, skin inflammation, and hormonal factors. Individuals with darker pigmented skin tend to be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation following acne, trauma, and other causes of skin inflammation. Blotchy pigmentation due to melasma is often exacerbated by pregnancy and birth control pills.
Treatment of hyperpigmentation
Apart from the latest medical therapies, daily use of a broad-spectrum sunblock, and a targeted skin care program, we offer in-office procedures that may help improve hyperpigmentation:
Chemical peels – exfoliating treatments that remove the outer pigmented layers of skin, which can accelerate the fading of brown spots and uneven pigmentation. Peels must be chosen carefully, because they can also irritate the skin and worsen pigmentation, especially in darker skin tones.
PicoWay laser – advanced picosecond laser technology that uses photoacoustic energy to shatter unwanted pigment into tiny particles the body naturally clears, targeting brown spots, sun spots, and blotchy pigmentation with minimal heat to surrounding skin. Even picosecond lasers carry some risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, so settings must be tailored to your skin type.
Because some brown spots can be something other than simple pigmentation, and melasma is often chronic and can recur, these treatments work best as part of an ongoing plan that includes sun protection and follow-up with your dermatologist.
