Restore Even Skin Tone and Confidence by Treating Sun Spots

Sun spots, also known as solar lentigines, develop from years of sun exposure, leading to dark pigmentation patches on the skin. These flat, brown spots typically create an uneven complexion. These spots can appear more prominently as you age, especially on areas like the face, which are frequently exposed to sunlight. At Viva Med Spa & Wellness in Cranston, RI, we specialize in reducing sun spots using the Moxi® laser. This non-invasive treatment promotes healthy skin renewal, helping you have a smoother, more radiant complexion with minimal downtime.

Treatment Overview

At Viva Med Spa & Wellness, we use the Moxi® laser to address the sun spots and improve skin tone. This treatment is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates cell turnover and reduces melanin buildup. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking effective, noticeable results with minimal downtime.

What To Expect

Before Treatment

During your consultation, we will analyze and assess your skin and develop a customized treatment plan based on your needs. Avoid sun exposure and stop using exfoliating products (like retinol) 3-5 days before your treatment.

During Treatment

Each session typically lasts 30-60 minutes. During the procedure, you may experience a mild warming sensation. There will be a numbing cream that can be applied to enhance your comfort if needed.

After Treatment

Mild redness or peeling may occur for 1-3 days as the skin regenerates. Use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent new sun spots from forming.

Maintenance

We recommend a series of 3-4 Moxi® laser treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart to help achieve the most ideal results for you. Many patients notice improvements within 1-2 weeks after the first session, with continued enhancement over the course of multiple treatments. Ongoing maintenance treatments every 6-12 months and daily sun protection are essential to maintain clear, even-toned skin.

Treatable Areas

Face

Focuses on sun-exposed areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin.

Results of Sun Spot Treatment

The Moxi® laser helps in fading sun spots gradually, with initial improvements visible as early as 1-2 weeks. As the skin renews itself, the pigmentation fades, leaving a more even complexion. Patients experience a significant reduction in discoloration and improved skin clarity with multiple sessions.
