Banishing age spots with individualized treatment in Katy, TX

We know that our bodies grow older, and that aging cannot be stopped. We also want to hold on to our most vibrant aesthetic. The society in which we live places value on appearance. If you wish to address the issue of age spots, sun spots, or other unevenness in your skin tone, you are not alone. More importantly, you are in good hands with Dr. W, your Katy, Texas dermatologist.

Store shelves are lined with lotions, creams, and serums designed to lift spots off the skin, but most are ineffective at producing optimal results. At that, using a topical product usually takes so much time that compliance with use dwindles before any real effect can be seen. There are various ways to banish age spots from the face or other area of the body. Your Katy, TX dermatologist can help you see results quickly with treatment tailored to your unique skin.

Chemical peels, helping the natural process

Our skin is designed to heal and renew itself through the constant formation of healthy new cells to replace those that have become old and drab. Depending on the speed at which damage is occurring, however, the natural process of renewal may not take place quickly enough to avoid seeing the telltale signs of aging, such as spots, rough texture, and loose skin.

One way we can gently speed the process of skin rejuvenation is with chemical peels. This treatment is designed around the patient and his or her unique needs. Ultimately, the intent of a peel is to encourage the shedding of damaged or dead skin cells, and the growth of fresh new cells.

Chemical peels have been used for many years to improve the tone and texture of skin. The beauty of chemical peels is that there are several options for treatment, providing more opportunity to address the varying degrees of aging. In some situations, a light peel is all that is needed to reduce the appearance of superficial spots and lines. When aging, stress, and the effects of the sun have taken a greater toll on the skin, a medium or deep peel may be more suitable. Dr. Weaver offers a variety of peels to address the specific skin concerns our patients face.

Age spots are not a good indicator of age, as they are related to sun exposure. If you wish to reveal your best skin by reducing the appearance of spots, we can help you devise your best skin-rejuvenating treatment plan.
