I have noticed I have brown patches below out corner and under outer corner of my eyes. It looks terrible when ever I take pictures. I’m assuming it’s age spots.
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Treating Age Spots Melasma and age spots can be due to hormones, agin, sun exposure, thyroid dysfunction, and genetics. Treatments range frolm IPL to laser therapy; but pigmentation may recur if not complemented with topical creams to stabilize the pigment cells.

Answer: Age spots versus Melasma Thank you for the photos these are very helpful! One thing I would recommend is that you use strict sun protection. In addition if you would prefer non-invasive treatments a course of nightly hydroquinone to lighten the color. Then other treatments such as chemical peels, lasers (Clear+Brilliant and Fraxel) may be recommended. In our practice we usually recommend an in person evaluation and if we determine it is age spots (likely to use Alexandrite laser) or melasma (cream or lasers-Clear+Brilliant). Make sure to speak to a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss treatment plans.

Answer: Brown patches and age spots near eyes is best improved with Laser treatments with no down time Laser treatments with no down time can usually be an option on most realistic patients. It really depends on your skin, sun exposure and genetics. It is best to talk to your surgeon because everybody has different techniques and options with various recovery times. I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon about your particular situation, lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you're having done so that you both have the most honest answer about your recovery and are realistic with expectations and results.Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are many nonsurgical options to consider and laser is usually the most dramatic result.I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of facelifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Brown patches near eyes - age spots? In my experience the brown spots (age spots or sun spots) can be removed using a combo of IPL laser, chemical peels, and a prescription bleaching agent. But if your problem is melasma, IPL might not be indicated. You need to consult with a physician with expertise in aesthetic and laser technology.
