If you have skin discoloration, age spots and sun damage.
Many people don’t know it, but the largest organ in the body is our skin, and its main job is to protect us from foreign invaders such as bacteria, fungus, infections, and more. Our skin regenerates quite quickly, however, over time that regeneration may slow down and require some assistance from us. One of the most common things we see in patients is skin discoloration, and while it is common, it may be something more serious if you or members of your family have a history of skin cancer. Don’t worry though, there are many treatment options available for patients suffering from skin discoloration.
Treatment for Skin Discoloration
There are many different procedures and treatments that individuals can have done to fix these skin discolorations as they experience them.
- Chemical Peels – Dr. Rapaport has a great deal of experience when it comes to chemical peels treatment for treating skin discoloration.
- CO2 Laser – CO2 laser therapy treats pigmentation by destroying the outer layers of the skin and stimulating re-epithelialization and cell turnover in the deeper layers. This removes pigmentation and restructures collagen to both improve dark spots and reduce wrinkles.
- Infini RF – This treatment option uses a therapeutic radio frequency to correct the pigmentation in the skin. The good thing about this treatment option is: there is very little to no pain associate with it, as well as the recovery time is fast.

Skin Discoloration: what is it exactly?
Human skin has a complex composition and consists of several layers. Melanin is is responsible for the color tone of our skin is found in epidermis. While melanin dictates what our skin color will be, it also protects us from elements such as sunlight.
As we get older, the melanin in our skin will sometimes clump up together or clot, so to speak. This will cause dark spots or patches. Now, most of the time, these patches are 100% harmless. However, it is still important to get them checked out by a doctor, just to be safe.
Why choose non-surgical skin procedures?
Many people prefer the non-surgical treatment options over surgical options because they are safer and less expensive than invasive procedures. This allows individuals to return back to their normal lives pretty quickly afterward. Not only are these procedures non-invasive, but they don’t normally take a lot of time to complete, so the time individuals are out is normally very short.
Are there any side effects?
Some individuals will experience tenderness on their skin or redness around the treated area; however, this normally disappears in a couple hours. Dr. Rapaport and our staff are trained to perform these procedures and normally use options that allow for numbing of the skin prior to the procedure.
