Skin Discoloration

Cutting-Edge Topical, Chemical, and Laser Treatments for Discoloration

Skin discoloration encompasses a wide spectrum of pigment irregularities, ranging from freckles and melasma to age spots. At Legacy Dermatology, we approach each condition with precision, combining clinical expertise with advanced treatment modalities. Freckles, typically small brown spots influenced by genetics and sun exposure, can be minimized with targeted topical therapies, chemical exfoliants, or laser resurfacing.
Melasma, often hormonally linked and symmetrical on sun-exposed facial areas, requires specialized chemical peels, prescription-grade topical lightening agents, and controlled laser therapy for optimal results.
Age spots, the result of cumulative sun exposure, respond effectively to non-invasive laser treatments and precision skincare regimens. Our comprehensive care ensures that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan, balancing efficacy with safety. Advanced diagnostics, including pigment mapping and imaging, allow clinicians to identify subtle changes and optimize intervention. Treatments are tailored to skin type, tone, and lifestyle, ensuring minimal downtime while delivering lasting improvement.
