Sun Damage & Age Spots

Sun spots, age spots or liver spots are from long-term exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. They usually appear as flat, brown discolorations on the skin in areas that typically receive the most exposure to the sun. The face, hands and arms are the most common. Although the spots are usually harmless, they can detract from the skin's appearance, making people look older.

Several cosmetic procedures designed to reduce the appearance of redness and age or sun spots are available at Nu Vela Esthetica.

PhotoRejuvenation procedures:

Broadband Light - BBL™ - Light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat up the upper layers of your skin. Heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to generate new collagen helping restore your skin to its natural appearance, blending its natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. Photothermal energy targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented spots.

Any area of your body can be treated, and typically, two to five treatments will produce desired results. The procedure is non-invasive and gentle with virtually no down time. In most cases, you will be able to return to work and resume normal activities immediately.

Solar Genesis skin therapy is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably remove sun and age spots from your face, chest, arms and hands. Solar Genesis is a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective at treating undesired pigment discoloration.

The treatment, which takes only a few minutes, delivers visible light which is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots on your skin. Immediately following the treatment, the spots may start to darken and you may notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. This typically subsides within a couple of hours. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened spots will fade and flake off.

Micrormabrasion and Chemical peels can also be effective in removing unsightly superficial sun or age spots.
