The primary enemy of beautiful, healthy skin is the sun. Almost all the changes in our skin which we associate with aging come from the sun. Age spots are a great example of this. Age, or brown spots, are the result of pigment change in our skin when melanin is produced by ultraviolet light exposure. These spots make our skin look older than it should. Fortunately they are very easily treated.

New laser technology can easily remove brown spots from skin. These treatments are usually quite painless and can be done quickly. It’s important that a dermatologist check any brown spots for cancer before any treatment is performed.

First of all, I was really impressed with Dr. Pilest's web site. I learned some very important points even before seeing him. Second, his consultation with me was very complete. After 3 children and a body I want to hide, I was dreading baring my belly. But, he made me immediately comfortable and explained not only WHY I had stretch marks, but the difference in the old ones and the new ones, what I'd have to do to prepare for laser treatments since I've got some dark skin ancestry (no one ever asked me about that before or explained why it was important!) We're tackling the red marks first with Vmax laser and I've seen some very obvious improvements after just a couple of sessions. Later we'll get into the white marks with Fraxel. I know what to expect (apparently no miracles here) but I appreciate the candid assessment. It's nice to know the limitations. The nursing staff is the best. Joanne spent plenty of time reassuring me, re-explaining the process and generally being a professional hand holder. I feel very confident and comfortable with Dr. Pilest.
