Jodi wanted to lighten the appearance of the freckles on her face and décolleté area. The problem is, Jodi has freckling and sun spots on the majority of her body including her arms and torso!
The strategy was to lighten Jodi's freckling and fade it gradually into the rest of her body. This would make the freckles less pronounced on her face, neck and chest; however, they would then blend in with her arms and torso.
To make the spots completely fade would be difficult with her given complexion, plus it just wouldn't look natural.
The darker sun spots were treated with an
IPL Photo Facial. The laser light grabs a hold of the pigment in the skin and pulls it to the top layer after about a week, where it naturally sloughs off in the shower with a loofah sponge or washcloth.
The pattern of freckling was treated with the
Melanage Melasma Mask. This mask is applied at our office, then is worn home and is to be left on for a few hours as determined by our aesthetician. A home treatment kit is provided to each patient to maintain the care of their skin after the procedure.
