Age spots, also known as liver spots, are small collections of melanin that occasionally appear on your skin, most often after years of exposure to the sun. While they are not dangerous, many people find them unsightly and irritating. Fortunately, there are effective ways to remove age spots.
Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is one popular method of removing age spots. It entails using a highly focused laser to target melanin, resulting in in smooth and blemish-free skin. IPL is a non-invasive treatment, and it delivers safe and predictable results. Chemical peels are another technique that many dermatologists recommend. A peel involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes it to gradually peel off, revealing a new and refreshed layer of skin. A variety of chemical peels are available for different needs.
At Swinyer – Woseth Dermatology, we offer IPL, chemical peels , and a host of other skin care treatments to help you rejuvenate your appearance. If you are looking for a dermatologist in Salt Lake City, call our team today at (385) 800-5172.
Does your New Year's resolution involve a self-improvement goal? Get started today by consulting a dermatologist about cosmetic services that can take years off your appearance. There are so many options to choose from, ranging from topical treatments to light therapies to injectable fillers. Talk to your dermatologist about your problem areas to receive a personalized set of treatment recommendations.
Adult acne is more common than you might think. If you're struggling with the embarrassment of adult acne, resolve to banish it in the New Year with treatments like light therapy. The BLU-U light treatment for acne uses gentle photodynamic therapy to destroy the bacteria on your skin to prevent acne breakouts. All you'll need to do is sit near the special light source for 15 minutes, twice per week. Patients generally have treatments for about six weeks. Once you've resolved your acne breakouts, consider talking to your dermatologist about ways of addressing acne scars. To date, Bellafill is the only approved dermal filler for depressed acne scars on the cheek. The filler instantly adds volume to the scarred area to make it indistinguishable from the surrounding skin.
Along with resolving acne, restoring the tone and texture of your skin is one of the most effective ways to refresh your appearance. Chemical peels are one popular option because this treatment can address multiple skincare concerns in one treatment. A chemical peel may be right for you if you have sun damage, discoloration, or wrinkles.
If you've got your eye on anti-aging treatments this New Year's, you might consult your dermatologist about effective treatments for moderate to severe wrinkles . You may be a good candidate for Botox or Xeomin. If you prefer a dermal filler, you might try Radiesse, Belotero, or Juvederm.
