Brown spots and other types of hyperpigmentation are often caused by sun damage that happened years or even decades ago. VIDA Aesthetic Medicine offers numerous types of treatments customized to treat accumulated sun damage. Oftentimes, lack of sun protection or poor sun protection happened in our youth and doesn’t show up until years later. Age spots on the face, neck, hands, and chest can all be removed with a combination of treatments including broadband light (BBL) therapy, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion.

Common Hyperpigmentation Concerns
In addition to brown spots, rosacea and melasma are also common types of hyperpigmentation in Salem. Rosacea presents as facial redness and can be triggered by sun damage, alcohol, spicy foods, and other factors. BBL is a great way to minimize facial redness because it eliminates it at the source. Light therapies like BBL can also treat rosacea.
Melasma is a condition that presents as patchy areas that might be brown or tan. There’s no known cause of melasma, but it’s believed that genetics, UV light, and hormones can all contribute to the condition. However, certain light therapies or, even better, microneedling and other treatments can help reduce the signs of melasma.
