WHAT ARE SKIN BLEMISHES?

Skin blemishes are common conditions that affect the appearance and texture of the skin. They can develop due to various factors such as aging, sun exposure, genetics, and hormonal changes. Here’s an overview of the most common types of skin blemishes we can treat:  

 

  • Broken Capillaries (Spider Veins)

   Small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, often caused by sun damage, aging, or hormonal changes.  

 

  • Cherry Angiomas

   Bright red or purple spots caused by clusters of dilated capillaries. These benign growths typically increase with age and are often found on the torso, arms, and legs.  

 

  • Keratosis

   - Seborrheic Keratosis: Harmless, wart-like growths that are usually brown, black, or tan.  

   - Actinic Keratosis: Rough, scaly patches caused by prolonged sun exposure, which may develop into skin cancer if untreated.  

 

  • Skin Tags

   Small, flesh-colored or brown growths that often form in areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, armpits, and groin.  

 

  • Hyperpigmentation

   Darkened patches of skin that occur due to excess melanin production, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation.  

 

  • Milia

   Tiny, white cyst-like bumps that form when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of the skin, commonly seen around the eyes and cheeks.  

 

  • Sebaceous Hyperplasia

   Enlarged oil glands that appear as small, yellowish bumps, typically on the forehead and cheeks, often linked to aging and hormonal changes.  

 

Understanding these skin blemishes can help identify the best treatments and preventive measures to maintain healthy, clear skin. Explore available options to address and manage these common concerns effectively. Depending on the structure and severity of your irregularity, along with skin tone, we will choose between using a laser or non-laser alternative approach.
