After spending hours in the sun year after year can cause dark spots on our skin; our faces, our chests and hands. Usually the spots don’t appear until after our sun exposure is curtailed for a certain amount of time.

There is a fairly new treatment which can restore the skin to its original natural and youthful appearance. Called “photofacial” the new technology delivers a flash pulse of light to the skin surface, to restore a more even skintone by precisely targeting the darker pigment of the skin, with a focused wavelength of light that travels directly to the melanin in the dark spots causing them to gradually fade out. The dark spots tend to darken for a couple of days after each treatment, then fade to less than what they originally were. Four to six treatments spaced three weeks apart yield significant improvement with no downtime.
