Brown spots, sun spots, melasma, and other types of pigmentation are some of the most common—and frustrating—skin concerns. Many people assume they’re permanent, but the truth is these unwanted spots can often be virtually erased with the right treatments. Thanks to advances in aesthetic laser technology, combined with medical-grade skincare and regenerative enhancements, you don’t have to live with uneven pigment forever.
Understanding the Types of Pigment
- Sun Damage & Brown Spots: The result of years of UV exposure.
- Sun Spots (Solar Lentigines): Flat, darkened patches that appear on sun-exposed skin.
- Melasma: A more complex type of pigment often triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or sun exposure.
The Power of Lasers for Pigment Removal
Aesthetic lasers are designed to precisely target unwanted pigment while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated pigment, revealing clearer, brighter skin.
At Radiance Medspa, we often recommend stacking treatments to achieve the best outcomes. This can mean:
- Multiple lasers in the same session (for example, a BroadBand Light [BBL] treatment stacked with a resurfacing laser such as MOXI and CO2 Lasers).
- Combining lasers with microneedling, which creates microchannels in the skin to enhance results.
Stacking is one of the most effective ways to achieve significant improvement in fewer visits, while tailoring downtime to the patient’s preferences and schedule.
What About Exosomes?
Whenever treatments create open channels in the skin (such as after microneedling or resurfacing), we apply exosomes topically. These are stem cell–derived messengers that dramatically enhance skin repair and regeneration. Benefits include:
- Faster healing
- Reduced redness and downtime
- Stronger collagen stimulation
- More radiant, youthful results
The Role of Medical-Grade Skincare
Great in-office treatments must be supported by a solid home routine. Medical-grade skincare before, during, and after laser treatments helps:
- Prepare the skin for treatment
- Prolong and enhance results
- Protect against future pigment formation
When combined—stacked treatments + exosomes + home care—patients get the absolute best protocol for brighter, healthier skin.
Why Experience Matters
Not all laser treatments (or providers) are created equal. The best results come from:
- Experienced, licensed medical providers trained in aesthetic laser use
- Top-of-the-line technology designed for safety and effectiveness
- Customized treatment planning based on each patient’s pigment, downtime tolerance, budget, and goals
Radiance Medspa has been treating patients with lasers for more than 19 years. Our licensed medical professionals have performed thousands of safe, effective treatments—and our results speak for themselves.
Customizing Your Treatment Plan
When planning your pigment correction journey, your provider will consider:
- Amount of pigment/damage
- Downtime tolerance (many treatments with less downtime vs. fewer treatments with more recovery)
- Budget and scheduling
- Upcoming events or vacations (we always plan treatments around your calendar)
Laser treatments aren’t limited to the face, either. Neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs often reveal years of sun exposure and respond beautifully to treatment.
Beyond Lasers: Holistic Skin Health
Lasers are a powerful tool, but healthy, radiant skin comes from a combination of approaches:
- Injectable treatments (like Botox or fillers, when appropriate)
- Healthy lifestyle habits (hydration, good nutrition, and daily sunscreen use)
When used together, these create the foundation for lasting skin health.
Pigment Treatment Checklist
If you’re considering treating your brown spots, here’s what to ask:
- Are the providers licensed medical professionals?
- How much experience do they have with aesthetic lasers?
- Do they use best-in-class technology?
- Will my treatment be customized to my pigment, downtime, and goals?
- Do they provide guidance on skincare and maintenance after treatment?
- Can they treat areas beyond the face (neck, chest, hands, etc.) for a natural, even look?
