Have you noticed that your skin is starting to look dull, blotchy, or discolored? Hyperpigmentation, melasma, discoloration, or “age spots” are common skin concerns for many individuals. Sun damage and age spots can be caused by many different factors, including sun exposure and aging.
Sure, there are many over-the-counter products touting their skin blurring or lightening effect, but the truth is, if you want actual results, they’re not going to cut it! To see a noticeable difference in your skin’s appearance, you’ll need to see a medical professional.
Seeing a skincare specialist doesn’t mean you need surgery; it just means that your skin needs to have medical-grade treatment to have optimal cellular turnover and the regenerative required effects to improve texture, color, brightness, and the reduction in wrinkles.
SWFL Dermatology Plastic Surgery & Laser Center offers the most advanced techniques, procedures, and products. One significant advancement in the reduction of skin discoloration is an innovative laser called MedLite® C6.
MedLite® C6 uses a groundbreaking Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a unique pulse dispersion to penetrate the discoloration while leaving the surrounding tissue safe and unaffected. With Cynosure’s innovative laser treatments, you can be rid of unwanted spots and back to flawless, beautiful skin.
How it works
MedLite® C6 penetrates the skin in nanoseconds using high-speed energy waves. This helps to keep the skin cool and not overheated like traditional photo light lasers. This inventive laser technology targets sun damage and brown spots through electro-optic energy, which causes dark areas to gradually disappear through your body’s natural healing process, revealing clearer, more beautiful-looking skin.
What can be treated with MedLite® C6?
MedLite® C6’s laser light treatment is suitable for treating age spots, sun damage, and freckles on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, and feet.
How many treatments do I need?
Typically, only a few treatments are needed; however, depending on the condition, several treatments may be required to achieve desired results.
Immediately following the treatment, some people could experience a mild, sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2 to 24 hours. Work with your provider to discuss other possible side effects and the necessary post-treatment care.

• Reduces and alleviates dark spots (even tattoos)
• Reduces acne, scarring and wrinkles
