Many conditions can cause unusual pigmentation of the skin. Some of these include:

  • Melasma
  • Sun spots
  • Freckles
  • Age spots
  • Birthmarks

We provide a variety of ways for patients to deal with these conditions in a safe, reliable, and effective manner.

Melasma
For many women, melasma (the mask of pregnancy) is a problem. This is generally brought on either by birth control pills or pregnancy itself, and the best treatment for this is hydroquinone combined with Retin-A. Often microdermabrasion or chemical peels can accelerate the whole process.

Sun spots, age spots, and freckles
For individual sun spots such as freckles and age spots, multiple treatment methods are available such as freezing with liquid nitrogen or removing with a pigment laser. These can sometimes be quite difficult to treat and they require multiple treatment sessions. Your doctor can best assess which method is best for you.

Birthmarks
Birthmarks are pigmentations that occur on the body and are visible upon birth. There are several types of birthmarks, so a proper diagnosis will help a doctor determine the best way to remove them. There is a variety of ways to target this type of pigmentation, and the team at Pure Skin Dermatology, LLC will assist in making the most educated decision.

In many instances, patients dealing with these concerns may benefit from chemical peels. Chemical peels can help in removing the upper layer of the skin to bring forth beautiful, youthful skin underneath. This can give patients a “clean slate” and allow them to take charge of their skin’s condition. This can also reduce the pigmentation associated with sun damage that may require repair.
