Brown spots, sun spots, and age spots can make your skin look older than you feel, and no matter how much makeup or over-the-counter cream you try, they never seem to fade. Years of Cape Cod sun exposure and the natural aging process only make them more noticeable, leaving your complexion uneven. At Laser Aesthetics of Cape Cod, we provide the best treatments for brown spots to help you restore clear, radiant skin.
Brown spots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation appear when melanin — the pigment that gives skin its color — becomes overproduced or unevenly distributed. Causes include:
These brown spots are usually harmless but may cause cosmetic concern. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate them using the best available treatments for brown spots, helping restore an even skin tone and a more youthful look.
At Laser Aesthetics of Cape Cod, we use advanced, medically-proven treatments. Below are the top modalities we offer, all tailored to your skin type, intensity of pigmentation, and personal goals:
IPL with the Cutera Limelight device is one of the most effective and customizable ways to treat unwanted pigmentation. This non-invasive light-based therapy uses multiple wavelengths to target areas of excess melanin, breaking down dark spots while also improving the appearance of redness and vascular concerns. Because the Cutera Limelight system is highly adaptable, it can be adjusted for different skin types and tones, making it one of the best treatments for brown spots.
Chemical peels are another proven option for reducing pigmentation and refreshing the skin. These treatments use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers, removing surface pigmentation and encouraging cell turnover.
As the treated skin peels away, new skin emerges that is smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned. At Laser Aesthetics, we tailor the strength of the peel to your skin’s sensitivity and the severity of your pigmentation, ensuring safe and effective results.
For patients who want a gentler option with no downtime, HydraFacial® offers a versatile solution. This multi-step treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion in a single session.
While HydraFacial is not designed to remove deep brown spots on its own, it can visibly brighten the complexion, reduce mild pigmentation, and improve overall skin clarity. It also complements other treatments, such as IPL or chemical peels, by preparing the skin and enhancing long-term results.
Your visit begins with a consultation where we assess your skin, review your history, and recommend the best option. We’ll also share prep instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure, pausing certain skincare products, and arriving with clean skin.
During treatment, the process depends on your choice. IPL uses pulses of light, often compared to a rubber band snap, while chemical peels apply a solution to gently exfoliate. HydraFacial® combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidants in a comfortable session.
Afterward, results vary by treatment. IPL may cause spots to darken before flaking off, chemical peels lead to mild peeling or redness, and HydraFacial® leaves skin refreshed with no downtime.
The number of sessions depends on the treatment chosen and the severity of the pigmentation. Some patients see noticeable results after just one IPL session or a single chemical peel, while others may require a short series spaced several weeks apart. HydraFacial® can be performed more frequently for ongoing skin maintenance and brightness.
Once a brown spot is treated, it is usually gone for good. However, new spots can develop with continued sun exposure or the natural aging process. That’s why it’s important to use daily sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and consider occasional maintenance treatments to keep your skin looking its best long-term.
The right approach depends on your skin tone, the depth of pigmentation, and your preferences for downtime. During your consultation, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan for your unique skin.
