You know how it goes. You notice one tiny patch of dark pigment on your cheek and figure it's no big deal. Then, another one shows up. Before long, your skin starts to look a little older, a little more uneven, and not quite like it used to. If you've been thinking about ways to refresh your skin and get rid of those stubborn spots, laser skin resurfacing in Gillette, WY could be the answer. At Allure Medical Spa, Lynn Perlenfein helps patients reduce the appearance of age spots and feel more confident in their skin. 

What causes age spots, and why do they appear on your face? 

Age spots are flat, darkened areas that usually show up on the skin after years of sun exposure. You might hear them called sun spots or liver spots, but no matter what name you use, they're caused by too much UV light triggering your skin to produce extra melanin. These spots tend to appear on the face, hands, shoulders, and chest, especially as you get older. While they aren't harmful, they can make your skin look uneven or aged, which is why many people search for an age spot treatment that actually works. 

How does laser skin resurfacing work to remove age spots? 

Laser skin resurfacing uses light energy to target the darker pigment beneath the skin's surface. That energy breaks up the pigment and encourages your body to begin its natural repair process. At Allure Medical Spa, we use a fractional non-ablative laser, which delivers precise, controlled energy to treat age spots on the face and other areas without damaging the surrounding skin. 

This advanced technology is both safe and effective, allowing for noticeable improvements. As your skin recovers, you'll begin to see a more even tone, fewer spots, and a smoother texture overall. It's one of the most effective ways to reduce signs of aging without surgery or harsh chemicals. 

What other skin benefits can laser resurfacing offer? 

Treating age spots is just the beginning. Laser skin resurfacing also helps with a variety of skin concerns, making it a popular choice for overall skin rejuvenation. In addition to fading spots, it can improve:  

  • Fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Uneven skin tone 
  • Acne scars and large pores 
  • Dull or rough texture 

If your goal is younger-looking skin, this treatment can check all the boxes. It works below the surface to stimulate collagen, so results continue to improve over time. Check out our before and after photos to see how laser skin resurfacing can transform the look of facial aging.
