Restore a clearer, more even complexion by addressing sunspots on the face and hands. At DrSkin Plastic Surgery, Regenerative & Medical Spa, our personalized approach to sunspot treatment in Gilbert and Chandler targets discoloration while supporting long-term skin health.

Improve Skin Clarity and Color Balance

Sunspots are flat, brown, tan, or darkened patches that develop on areas of the skin frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. They form when prolonged ultraviolet exposure triggers excess melanin production, causing pigment to cluster in specific areas rather than distribute evenly across the skin. Over time, repeated sun exposure and natural aging make these spots more noticeable and persistent.

Although sunspots are harmless, many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to restore a more even skin tone. At DrSkin, we offer personalized, medically guided sunspot treatments that target excess pigment while supporting skin health and long-term clarity.

Sunspots Overview

Am I a Good Candidate for Sunspot Treatment?

You may be a good candidate for sunspot treatment if you notice darkened patches on sun-exposed areas of your skin and want a more even, refreshed complexion. These spots often become more noticeable due to cumulative sun exposure and natural aging. The ideal candidates typically have stable skin health and are seeking a non-surgical approach to improving skin tone while supporting long-term skin clarity. You may be an ideal candidate if you notice one or more of the following:

Areas of uneven pigmentation that do not fade on their own
Cosmetic concerns related to visible sun damage
Dark patches that become more noticeable after sun exposure
Skin that appears blotchy or uneven in tone
Flat brown, tan, or dark spots on the face, hands, arms, or shoulders

Treatment Options for Sunspots

Effective sunspot correction begins with an expert evaluation of your skin, pigment depth, and overall skin health. We assess factors like sun exposure history, skin tone, and pigmentation type. This allows us to curate a personalized sunspot treatment plan, selecting techniques that safely target excess melanin while supporting long-term skin clarity and balance.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels work by applying a medical-grade solution that exfoliates the outer layers of skin where pigment is concentrated. As the treated skin sheds, newer, healthier skin emerges with improved tone and clarity. Chemical peels also stimulate cell turnover, which helps prevent future pigment buildup when paired with proper skin care.

IPL Photofacial

Intense pulsed light therapy delivers broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by dark pigment in the skin. Once light is absorbed, it is converted to heat and breaks down melanin clusters that cause sunspots. This process allows the body to naturally eliminate the pigment cells over time while also improving redness, overall tone, and skin brightness.

Custom Facials

Custom facials support sunspot correction by gently exfoliating, hydrating, and nourishing the skin based on your specific needs. Our providers choose targeted ingredients that help regulate melanin production and calm sun-damaged skin, making facials an excellent complement to corrective treatments while improving skin health and maintaining results.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing removes the damaged outer skin layers while stimulating collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. This dual-action approach not only reduces the visible sunspots but also improves texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality. The result is smoother, clearer skin with more even pigmentation over time.

VivaMD

VivaMD infuses targeted bioactive ingredients into the skin to break down concentrated pigment and address the discoloration associated with sunspots. This treatment helps suppress excess melanin while restoring radiance and supporting a clearer, more even complexion over time.

Microneedling with PDRN

Microneedling with PDRN combines collagen-stimulating microneedling with the regenerative properties of PDRN to accelerate cell turnover and reduce the appearance of sunspot discoloration. This treatment promotes healthier skin renewal and gradually restores a smoother, more even tone over a series of sessions.

Microneedling with Toskani Peptides

Microneedling with Toskani Peptides delivers targeted peptide complexes deep into the skin to support collagen synthesis and address the concentrated pigmentation associated with sunspots. This treatment helps brighten, even, and refine the complexion with progressive, long-lasting results.

FAQ Sunspots

Are sunspots the same as age spots or freckles?

Sunspots are often used interchangeably with age spots or liver spots, but they differ from freckles. Sunspots develop from cumulative UV exposure and tend to be larger, darker, and more persistent. Freckles are usually genetic and can fade when sun exposure decreases, while sunspots typically do not resolve on their own without treatment.

Are sunspots dangerous or a sign of skin cancer?

Sunspots themselves are harmless and non-cancerous. However, any new, changing, or irregular pigmented lesion should always be evaluated by a qualified medical professional. During your consultation, we assess your skin carefully to confirm that the pigmentation is appropriate for cosmetic sunspot treatment and not a medical concern.

How many treatments will I need to see results?

The number of treatments depends on the pigment’s depth, size, and density, as well as the treatment method used. Some superficial sunspots respond quickly, while deeper pigmentation may require a series of treatments spaced weeks apart, followed by ongoing maintenance.
