Advanced Technology and Holistic Repair in Sunspot Treatment
Prolonged unprotected exposure to the sun's UV rays leads to permanent spots and premature signs of aging on the skin, known as "solar lentigo." At our clinic in Caddebostan, Istanbul, we treat sun spots not just as a superficial discoloration, but as a cellular response of the skin. With a wide range of treatments, from the destructive effect of Q-Switched lasers to the restorative power of potent antioxidants like Kudzu extract and Superoxide Dismutase, we restore your skin's clear appearance.
What are sunspots and what causes them?
Sunspots are formed when the skin produces melanin (color pigment) uncontrollably to protect itself from sun damage. These spots, which appear especially on areas like the face, décolleté, and backs of the hands, deepen over time, disrupting the skin's homogeneous structure. The main causes of this process include insufficient sunscreen use, genetic predisposition, and the decrease in the skin's own antioxidant capacity with age. Untreated sunspots are a sign that the skin barrier is weakened and that the skin is more susceptible to developing more resistant spots in the future.
What do we do to treat sunspots?
At our clinic, we use a hybrid treatment protocol that targets lesions in different layers:
Q-Switched Laser: We target pigment spots with nanosecond pulses, breaking them down without damaging surrounding tissue.
Microneedling (Gold Needle & Dermapen): Through micro-channels created in the skin, we enable anti-spot ingredients to reach the deeper layers.
Special Mesotherapy Blends: In addition to classic agents such as Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Tranexamic Acid , we brighten the skin from within with rich ingredients including Superoxide Dismutase , which initiates cellular repair, Seaweed Extract , and Kudzu Extract, which suppresses melanin synthesis.
Peeling Methods: We support the process with chemical and mechanical peeling applications as needed to remove blemished cells from the skin's surface.
What are the advantages and duration of effect of sunspot treatment?
The biggest advantage of this comprehensive treatment is that it not only erases existing spots but also strengthens the skin's defense system, making it more difficult for new spots to form. After Q-Switched laser treatment, a temporary darkening of the spots is observed, followed by shedding; the actual brightening effect becomes noticeable from the second week onwards. Mesotherapy treatments containing antioxidants and herbal extracts instantly enhance the skin's radiance. For lasting even skin tone, protocols of 3-6 sessions are recommended depending on the skin's condition.
