How to Get Rid of Sun Spots
As much as you may love soaking up the sunshine, those hours spent outdoors can sometimes leave their mark. Sun spots on the face, chest, or other body parts can be an unfortunate result of too much sun exposure.
If you’ve struggled with dark patches, you may have already tried creams and serums that promise results but come up short. That’s because surface treatments can’t get to the root cause of skin discoloration.
And that’s where laser sun spot treatment comes in. If you want to truly erase brown spots and uneven skin tone, keep reading.
What Are Sun Spots?
Sunspots, also known as age spots, are flat, brownish patches that appear on the skin due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or tanning beds. They’re most commonly found on areas that get the most sun, like your face, chest, shoulders, and hands.
While these spots are technically harmless and not a medical concern, they can make your skin look uneven and make you feel self-conscious.
How Do Sunspots Form?
When your skin is exposed to UV rays, it produces extra melanin (the pigment in hair, eyes, and skin) as a defense mechanism to protect itself from damage. While this natural process helps prevent sunburn, overproduction or uneven distribution of melanin results in localized patches of darker pigmentation over time.
Sunspots develop gradually and might not be noticeable for years, but once they show up, they can be challenging to fade with over-the-counter products.
How the GentleMax Pro Reduces Sunspots
When it comes to professional treatments for sunspots, not all methods are created equal. The GentleMax Pro laser is one of the most advanced and effective options available for reducing pigmentation and achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
How Does GentleMax Pro Work?
GentleMax Pro uses targeted laser energy to break down pigmented cells in the skin. These laser pulses are designed to safely and gently penetrate the skin’s surface and target sunspots without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Once treated, the pigmented spots darken slightly and then gradually slough off within a week or two, revealing clearer skin underneath.
This treatment is fast and highly precise, making it ideal for tackling stubborn spots that topical products can’t touch.
Effective for All Skin Types
Thanks to its sophisticated technology, the GentleMax Pro is effective for a wide range of skin types and tones. Whether you have light skin prone to sun freckles or darker skin where sunspots appear as hyperpigmentation, this laser can be customized to suit your complexion.
Quick and Convenient
One session with the GentleMax Pro typically takes only 15–30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. With no downtime required, it’s a perfect lunchtime treatment for those with a busy schedule.
Minimal Discomfort
GentleMax Pro treatments are virtually pain-free, with most patients describing a mild warming sensation during the procedure. The laser is precise and gentle, targeting only the melanin in skin and leaving neighboring tissue untouched.
Long-Term Results
One of the best parts of laser sun spot removal is that it delivers lasting results. Once pigment is broken up, it will not return. Multiple sessions are often recommended for maximum dark spot removal in highly pigmented areas. And keep in mind that continued sun exposure can potentially cause additional sun spots to appear despite previous treatment.
