Age Spots Treatment in Laval<\/h1>\n

What Are Dark Spots and Age Spots on the Skin?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Age spots, also known as dark or sun spots, are common skin discolorations caused by aging, sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation. Learn more about them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dark spots, also known as age spots, sun spots, liver spots, brown spots or hyperpigmentation, are flat, brown or black areas of discoloration that commonly appear on the face, hands, chest, and other sun-exposed areas. While often associated with aging, they can also result from sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or skin trauma.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why consult a dermatologist for age or dark spots?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consulting a dermatologist for age or dark spots ensures accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment, helping you safely achieve clearer, healthier skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While dark spots are often viewed as a cosmetic issue, it\u2019s essential to recognize that not all pigmentation is harmless. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Danielle Brassard<\/a><\/strong>, board-certified dermatologist, emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis. What appears to be a sun spot may in fact be a more serious skin condition, such as a skin cancer.<\/p>\n

If a spot is changing rapidly, has an irregular shape or color, or becomes itchy or bleeds, a thorough medical evaluation is critical. Dr. Brassard offers expert assessments and personalized treatment plans, including access to prescription-grade therapies tailored to your skin type and pigmentation concern.<\/p>\n

Choosing professional dermatologic care ensures both safe treatment and long-lasting, visible results.<\/p>\n

How to Treat and Remove Dark or Age Spots Safely<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Clinique D in Laval, discover safe and effective treatments to remove age and dark spots, personalized by Dr. Danielle Brassard for radiant, even-toned skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several in-clinic procedures are available to effectively reduce the appearance of age spots, depending on the depth, location, and skin type of the patient.<\/p>\n

Jessner peels<\/strong>, a type of chemical exfoliation, help lift superficial pigmentation and improve overall skin tone through a blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol.<\/p>\n

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)<\/strong> therapy uses broad-spectrum light to break up melanin clusters, making it ideal for treating sun-induced pigmentation.<\/p>\n

Nonablative fractional lasers<\/strong> target pigmentation below the skin\u2019s surface while stimulating collagen production, offering gradual but noticeable improvement with minimal downtime.<\/p>\n

For isolated or well-defined spots, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy<\/strong> can be applied to freeze and eliminate the pigmented cells. As a dermatologist, Dr. Brassard<\/strong><\/a> will recommend the most appropriate option, or combination, for your skin\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore each of these treatment options in more detail below to help you better understand how they work and what to expect.<\/p>\n

How does a Jessner chemical peel treat dark or age spots ?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Learn how a Jessner chemical peel at Clinique D in Laval helps treat age and dark spots by exfoliating pigmented skin layers and promoting skin renewal under Dr. Danielle Brassard\u2019s expert care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Clinique D in Laval, the Jessner peel is a specialized in-clinic exfoliation procedure using a customized blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol. This triple-acid formula is designed to lift superficial pigment irregularities such as sun spots or melasma, while also refreshing overall skin tone under the guidance of dermatologist Dr. Brassard<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Jessner peel works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing dull, discolored skin to shed naturally and reveal a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion underneath.<\/p>\n
