Over the last 1-2 years, I have developed two brown patches under my eyes, one large patch on my forehead and one on the top of my nose. After being told this may be caused by starting oral contraceptives 2 years ago, I stopped taking them about 6 months ago but not have seen the brown patches fade. I'm 29 and don't get much sun except an annual cruise and I always wear a hat and sunscreen on those trips. I wear an SPF15 sunscreen moisturizer every day. What are these, and is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
Answer: Likely benign hyperpigmentation areas or benign growths Have a dermatologist or plastic surgeon take a look. First be sure that the areas are not abnormal growths that require biopsy and treatment to prevent spread or turning into something worse.

Answer: Co2 Thank you for your question. CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment is very beneficial for making acne scars diminish, removing age spots, increases collagen and elasticity production. This is done by removing deeper layers of damaged skin and stimulating the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. This treatment is also beneficial for uneven pigmentation, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles, precancerous spots, and a host of other skin imperfections and benign lesions. If you believe you may be a candidate for CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment, a qualified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can carefully analyze your skin and determine if the procedure is right for you

Answer: Age spots solution Overexposure to UV rays result in age spots so the best solution is to wear and reapply sunscreen every day! At my practice, I offer my patients laser resurfacing, Clear & Brilliant, Intense Pulsed Light, q-switched alexandrite, and fractionated Fraxal Dual laser. These laser treatments have all been tested and proven effective at reducing dark age spots and giving a bright and youthful appearance! I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in laser treatments to ensure you are getting the best results!
