How Pigmentation Develops Over Time

Sun damage forms gradually, as repeated UV exposure causes melanin to accumulate in concentrated areas. The result? Patches of pigmentation, freckles, and age spots that disrupt the skin’s tone and texture. Common on the décolletage, arms, and upper back, these changes are especially prevalent in areas regularly exposed to sunlight. Fortunately, with the right combination of treatment and care, the signs of sun exposure can be beautifully reversed.

Targeted Treatments for Sun Damage & Discoloration

Dr. Pacheco offers a suite of advanced technologies and skin therapies designed to fade pigmentation while improving overall tone and texture.

IPL Photorejuvenation

A light-based treatment that breaks up discoloration while stimulating collagen for a smoother, brighter result.

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade peels exfoliate surface layers and promote cellular renewal, softening dark spots and rough texture.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Precise laser energy removes damaged skin cells, reduces pigmentation, and enhances radiance with minimal downtime.
