Sun Damage/Brown Spots
The sun gives off strong ultraviolet light which has the ability to cause extensive sun damage to our skin. This damage can range from simple freckles and brown spots to redness, wrinkles and more seriously, skin cancer.
Brown spots/freckles appear because the ultraviolet light causes melanin to be produced in our epidermis (melanin is the pigment that protects our skin from the harmful effects of the sun). As we get older, our skin is less able to recover from sun damage, resulting in permanent freckling and brown spots (melanin deposits) or even the development of skin cancer.
Guelph Laser provides several different treatment options to reduce sun damage and brown spots.
