The substance in your skin that gives it its color is called melanin. Melanin also protects your skin from the sun. If you’ve ever had a tan, then you’ve witnessed your body’s melanin production in full swing.

However, as we age, the melanin our bodies produce can get clumped together and form patches of darker skin. While most of these skin discolorations are completely harmless, you should still have them checked out since they can be an early sign of skin cancer.

Patients often call us about a new patch of skin they noticed that is a different color than the rest of their skin. These types of changes can be extremely difficult for our patients and can reduce their confidence. If you’ve experienced this kind of discoloration anywhere on your body, you’ve probably given some thought to skin discoloration treatment.

Patients can almost instantly erase those unsightly discolored skin patches with a variety of different procedures.

• Laser therapy – our Medical Providers is an expert in laser treatment for all different kinds of skin problems, including skin discoloration. In our offices, one of the most effective lasers we have is called the Halo Laser by Sciton. This laser combines two different types of treatments into one, speeds up healing, and also reduces the number of treatments required.
• Broadband Light – Broadband light (BBL) therapy uses a pulsating, therapeutic light to delete skin discolorations. It also is not painful and requires no recovery downtime.*

Now, there are several significant advantages to laser therapy and broadband light therapy. First, they are non-surgical, non-invasive, which means our patients can return almost immediately to their normal activities. Second, the procedures themselves usually only take a few minutes, to an hour so that they can be done very quickly.

Some patients experience redness and tenderness, but this usually goes away within hours. our Medical Providers can also use a numbing agent on these procedures to reduce any discomfort during this type of skin discoloration treatment.
