Red Spots & Brown Spots Treatments in Virginia
If you've lived with hyper-pigmentation, red spots or brown spots on your face, hands, arms, shoulders or other areas of your skin, then photo rejuvenation with Levulan is the treatment you are looking for. The FDA has approved Levulan to pre-treat the skin prior to intense pulsed light (IPL) laser therapy. Levulan causes the skin to be more sensitive to light energy which enhances IPL results by reducing, and in some cases removing, skin blemishes like red spots and brown spots. Facing the world with a clearer complexion, may help build your confidence and enhance your self-esteem.
Even if you've tried laser skin treatments before without success, give our doctors the opportunity to evaluate your skin condition and determine whether our state-of-the-art laser treatment in combination with Levulan pre-treatment will help you achieve clearer skin.

What is Photo Rejuvenation?
Photo rejuvenation uses intense pulsed light (IPL) laser technology to treat various types of skin damage or skin blemishes due to heredity, age, life style and even damage caused by the elements. Photo rejuvenation revolutionized cosmetic surgery by enhancing the skin's tone and texture. IPL light therapy targets irregular cells and destroys them causing your skin to build new cells thereby generating new skin growth that is visibly clearer and healthier.
How Does Levulan Enhance Photo Rejuvenation?
Levulan is used to pre-treat your skin before photo rejuvenation. The Levulan topical solution is applied to your skin approximately 45 to 60 minutes prior to your photo rejuvenation therapy with our IPL laser. The Levulan treated areas become more sensitive to light, allowing the laser to more effectively target damaged and pigmented cells. Essentially, Levulan primes your skin to achieve the optimal results possible from the most advanced laser skin treatment currently available.
What Are Red Spots & Brown Spots?
Red spots are usually caused by irregularities in blood circulation like broken capillaries. Some red blemishes are actually Rosacea which is thought to be hereditary with outbreaks beginning at age 30. Port-wine stains are considered a kind of birth mark and are caused by enlarged capillaries directly under the skin.
Brown spots can be anything from freckles, to sun damage, liver spots, age spots or just uneven pigmentation. Brown spots in most forms are usually caused by over production in skin cells of melanin, which is the basis of skin pigmentation.
