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.

I have had age spots for as long as I can remember. One visit to Dr. Shamban's office and my skin never looked so good, so smooth and naturally beautiful. I have returned for the Thermage, which tightens my skin, botox that I will never live without now. No more wrinkles on my forhead. I feel refreshed and rested looking all the time.
Thank you so very much,
Tracy
