Our skin suffers the passing of time and, inevitably, collects marks from different sources. Dark spots or skin spots are areas of our skin that become darker as an effect of scaring, Sun, natural skin aging, and some illnesses. The fact we get our skin marked doesn’t mean we have to live with it for the rest of our lives. Fortunately, there are many ways today to remove dark spots and unwanted marks on the skin of our face and body. Hellenic Laser Spa, in Denver, offers you a wide variety of skin rejuvenating treatments that help remove dark spots. Today, we share with you specialized treatments that remove dark spots on the skin.
Rejuvenating skin treatments that remove dark spots
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains that buff away the dead cells from the surface layer of the skin. There are two main elements used, first an exfoliating material like crystals or diamond flakes; and, a suction-based machine that gently removes the skin during the exfoliation. Since skin regenerates at approximately 30-day intervals, skin improvements with microdermabrasion are temporary and treatment should be repeated for continued improvement.
This process improves age spots, blackheads, lightens patches of darkened skin, exfoliates your skin which results in a more refreshed appearance, lessens the appearance of stretch marks, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, reduces or eliminates enlarged pores, treats acne and reduces superficial acne scars.
IPL Photofacial
IPL Photofacial is a skin resurfacing treatment that rejuvenates and improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin. Intense pulsed light stimulates the production of collagen; and, as this new collagen forms, there is a decrease in fine lines/wrinkles and improvement in acne scarring. The skin becomes smoother and more even in tone. IPL Photofacial is recommended for sun spots, age spots, blotches on the face, wrinkles, reduces redness, rosacea, dilated blood vessels, broken capillaries, and more.
The benefits of Skin Resurfacing Treatments are numerous: improves skin texture, removes skin impurities, evens color and tone of skin, improves the appearance of scars, decreases pore size, brightens complexion and aids to control flushing, among others.
