Overview

What Are Liver Age or Sun Spots?

A common complaint among our Houston-area patients at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa is the appearance of liver spots or age spots that look like brown coffee stains on the skin. Melasma, which appears as brown patches on the skin’s surface, and solar lentigos, which are dark moles that appear primarily in areas that receive heavy sun exposure, respond well to a variety of treatments.

RF Skin Resurfacing

Radio Frequency Skin Resurfacing

This gentle yet effectively powerful treatment uses advanced radiofrequency technology to gently lift away the skin’s outermost layer, removing those freckles, moles, and surface spots with it. Venus Viva RF Skin Resurfacing also triggers collagen production, which provokes a gradual improvement of skin firmness as more collagen is produced in the weeks following treatment. This treatment may be used on the face and the neck, décolleté, the arm, and the hands.

IPL Photofacial

IPL Photofacial (Photorejuvenation)

The IPL Photofacial is recommended for people who have uneven skin pigmentation, freckles, and sunspots, or other flaws or marks on the skin’s surface, such as acne scars and patches of discoloration. The IPL uses the precision of intense pulsating light beams to lift away the skin’s outermost layer, along with its freckles, marks, and other surface imperfections. Increased collagen production also provides gradual improvements that continue for weeks following treatment.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface using an exact sanding instrument, triggering increased collagen production and exposing a healthy new layer of fresh skin cells. Microdermabrasion treatment improves the skin’s tone and evens out pigmentation for a smoother, cleaner appearance.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use natural plant-based chemical acids to peel away surface imperfections, much like a sunburn peels away the surface layer of skin. Chemical peels produce temporary effects and must be repeated regularly to maintain results.

Microneedling

Microneedling With or Without PRP

Microneedling works similarly to skin resurfacing. Instead of gently scraping off the skin’s surface layer, microneedling gently punctures the skin with microneedles to stimulate collagen production and produce tighter and firmer skin with fewer surface irregularities. When enhanced with Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) therapy, this treatment helps produce a more even skin tone and texture.

SPF Sun Protection

SPF Sun Protection

It is essential after any skin resurfacing treatment or chemical peel that you protect your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays as effectively as possible. We provide our patients a line of professional prescription-grade skin care products, including top-of-the-line sun protection products to protect your skin from damage while undergoing treatment for sunspots and age spots.
