Skin discoloration involves any changes in your natural skin tone. Discolored skin patches can develop on the body due to sun damage, scarring, acne, and varying melanin levels.
Areas of discolored skin can range in skin color and include birthmarks, infection, pigmentation disorders, skin cancer, and more. Some forms of discoloration are harmless, while others require immediate care and treatment.
Pigmentation disorders can cause the skin to appear lighter or darker than your natural skin tone. Pigmentation disorders include melasma, albinism, vitiligo, and liver spots. Melasma causes dark spots on the face and stomach during and after pregnancy. This condition is affected by hormones, including progesterone and estrogen. Albinism is a hereditary skin condition that has a lack of melanin, causing light skin and features. Vitiligo causes spots of lightened skin to appear. Liver spots or age spots are caused by sun damage. These typically develop where your skin is exposed to the most sunlight.
Medical skin conditions include but are not limited to rosacea, psoriasis, and Graves’ disease. Rosacea causes redness and thickened skin. This typically occurs on the cheeks. Psoriasis exists when the skin becomes patchy, itchy, and red. An increase in cell turnover prompts this condition. Graves’ disease is where the overproduction of thyroid hormones causes rough, thickened red skin.
Allergies can lead to skin conditions, including contact dermatitis, hives, or eczema rashes. Burns, bruises, and medicinal side effects can also cause changes in skin pigment.
XEO Laser can treat redness caused by rosacea, scarring, acne scars, age spots, and brown spots that appear on the skin. XEO Laser uses a laser beam to target pigment in the skin. Pigmentation spots are treated with the Limelight handpiece. The light is absorbed by cells with excessive melanin, and heat is absorbed. The pigmentation spots begin healing by darkening and peeling off to reveal a more even complexion.
Some of the key benefits you can expect from XEO Laser treatment include:
Can penetrate deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Can be customized for your unique needs.
Offers long-lasting results.
Secret PRO offers a variety of benefits including:
Safely treats all skin types.

Dr. Carey wasn’t what I expected. He was very down to earth, which I feel you don’t get with many surgeons. He was patient and thorough during the consultation and even made a few jokes. I’m sure I went over my consultation time and he didn’t seem to be bothered at all for my many questions. I felt heard and not rushed like I was a number.
His staff was also very welcoming and compassionate during my procedure. I’ll definitely share this recommendation with family, colleagues and friends. Top notch!
