Age Spots (Liver Spots) Treatments

Melasma
Age Spots

Age, sun, or liver spots are brownish discolorations of the skin that are generally harmless. The medical term for these lesions is 'actinic lentigo' (dark spots associated with sun exposure). These patches of color are most common on the sun exposed areas of the skin, most notably the face and hands. These spots should be watched and evaluated by your dermatologist, since often these spots vary in size and color and can mimic melanoma. The cause of these spots is not fully understood, but is most commonly from exposure to the sun, hormonal factors and birth control pills. Irritation in the skin can leave some areas of darker color. Treatment of these spots is often just observation, but alternatives such as bleaching creams, Cryotherapy, and lasers can be of benefit in spots that are of cosmetic concern.

Treatment Performance
Dr. Crutchfield performs all Botox Cosmetic and Restylane/Perlane and Juvederm treatments personally. For other cosmetic treatments, such as Pixel laser treatments, Lipodissolve Ultra, AFT light treatments, he may provide a combined treatment with his highly trained staff or have a skilled staff member perform the treatment(s)completely.

If you have any questions feel free to discuss this with Dr. Crutchfield at the time of consultation.

Dr. Crutchfield offers a money back guarantee for the treatment of the frown lines in the glabella (only) with a combination of Botox Cosmetic and Restylane if a patient uses the treatment amounts that he recommends.
