Pigmentation Correction.

Uneven pigmentation of the skin can be caused from a variety of factors, including age, sun exposure, and genetics.  At New England Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, we are dedicated to creating a customized skincare regimen based upon your needs.

Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are benign skin lesions that form in areas of skin trauma and sun exposure.  They appear to be waxy, stuck-on lesions.  Eskata is a highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide which helps to remove raised seborrheic keratoses.   It is a quick in office procedure with minimal to no down-time.  Results occur in 2-3 weeks.  Larger or flat SKs can be removed by surgical shaving, which is also performed in our office.

Solar lentigo are benign flat pigmented areas caused by sun exposure, skin type, and genetics.  CryoCorrect is a cold CO2 application which helps to freeze the top layer of skin, effectively removing the solar lentigo.  Results can be seen in 2-3 weeks.  For patients with more extensive solar lentigo, overall skin pigmentation correction can be found through the use of retinoids and hydroquinone or non-hydroquinone brightening creams.  The addition of a facial peel or Fraxel laser helps to speed the removal of superficial pigmentation and create a more even skin tone and texture.
