Dark Spots Treatment in Vaughan

Solar lentigines, freckle-cluster pigmentation, and uneven tone from cumulative UV. Lumecca IPL targets the pigment lesion directly; AlumierMD's brightening protocol plus daily SPF 40 holds the result. Two routes; the combination depends on Fitzpatrick type and pigment depth.

Common Causes of Sun Damage Dark Spots

Where the concern starts.

UV radiation stimulates melanocytes to produce excess melanin as a protective response. Over years, this excess pigmentation accumulates in areas with the most sun exposure: face, hands, chest, and shoulders. The spots become more defined and persistent with time.

How We Treat It

How We Treat Dark Spots

Sun Damage Dark Spots rarely comes from one structure. We coordinate across two treatments — the right combination depends on your case. Lumecca by InMode delivers intense pulsed light that targets melanin in sun-induced dark spots. The pigmented cells absorb the light energy and are gradually eliminated by the body. Spots typically darken briefly after treatment, then shed or fade over one to two weeks. Lumecca also targets haemoglobin in small vessels, addressing the diffuse redness and dullness that accompanies chronic sun damage. Most patients see visible improvement after the first session, with optimal results over two to three treatments.

Dermaplaning for dark spots

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. It improves surface texture, brightens the complexion, and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. For sun-damaged skin, dermaplaning clears the dull surface layer and reveals the healthier skin beneath. Crystal Tait often pairs it with Lumecca as part of a broader sun damage protocol.
