Brown Spot Treatment

While the Vitamin D we receive from the sun is essential to our wellbeing, too much can be detrimental to skin pigmentation and may lead to unsightly brown spots as we age. While brown spots may seem like innocent blemishes, there are brown spot treatments that fight back against U damage to return your skin to its natural, healthy complexion.

Where Are They Coming From?

Brown spots, also called melasma, are a common skin condition brought on by years of ultraviolet light exposure that presents as brown-grey blotches of hyperpigmentation. These pigmentation irregularities can cause the skin to look older over time. The condition appears more commonly in women and those with darker skin complexions. 

Melasma is most prevalent on the cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and bridge of the nose. Melasma may also appear as an effect brought on by birth control, hormonal therapies, and pregnancy due to increased estrogen levels which create excess melanin, subsequently altering pigment in the skin.

People who spend long periods in the sun or frequent tanning salons are most at risk of accumulating brown spots and uneven skin tones.

So, What Can Be Done?

To begin your initial consultation, a thorough analysis is performed to lock in on your specific areas of skin discoloration. Once the analysis is finalized, your Nubo Spa skincare specialist will break down which skin treatment fits best with your goals. Let’s jump into them.

Hydrafacial

This non-invasive, water-based treatment is performed by Nubo Spa specialists using a hand-held device with a texturized tip that focuses pressurized water onto the targeted area. The treatment involves a physical and chemical exfoliation before suctioning away dead cells from your topmost skin layer. 

Ipl Photofacial

IPL (intense pulsed light) is a non-invasive procedure featuring a mechanized wand calibrated for your distinguished skin condition. The device uses pulsating broad-spectrum light, generating heat absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin in your skin. The heat breaks down brown spots while avoiding any lingering damage to the skin.

Chemical Peels

There are three separate chemical peels offered by Nubo Spa: Age-Defying Peel+, Brightening Peel+, and Acne Clearing Peel+. Peels are applied by your skincare specialist to return uneven skin tones to their naturally vibrant state. Each chemical peel takes approximately one hour to complete.
