What is it?

Uneven skin pigmentation and dark spots often result from the skin's natural aging process, mainly due to prolonged sun exposure. These patches, varying in size and color, typically appear flat and can affect areas exposed to UV light, including the face, hands, shoulders and arms.


These spots affect people of all skin types but are more prevalent in adults, typically over 50, with lighter skin tones. Unlike freckles, they don't fade over time. While brown spots are typically harmless, if you're bothered by them, our board-certified dermatologists will create a personalized treatment for even, radiant skin. We're here to find treatment options just for you!

How is it treated?

The Skin Care Center’s experienced team brings years of experience in effectively treating brown spots and addressing uneven skin tone. With our advanced laser and light therapies, you can expect safe, reliable and efficient outcomes. Your skin's health and radiance are our top priority.


Furthermore, our board-certified dermatologists serving the communities of Lake Forest, Glenview and Chicago, Illinois, are steadfast in their commitment to delivering innovative, effective skin care services. Your satisfaction and well-being are our utmost priority, and we strive to exceed your expectations in every aspect of your treatment journey.
