Concerns are simply starting points for conversation. This page is designed to inform, not to diagnose. Every individual presentation is unique.
Understanding Sunspots, Freckles & Dark Marks.
Freckles and sunspots are small, concentrated clusters of melanin pigment triggered by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) sunlight. While freckles are often inherited and darken in the summer, sunspots (solar spots) are permanent dark marks that appear over time from cumulative sun exposure on areas like the nose, cheeks, hands, and shoulders.
Because these spots sit directly in the skin’s pigment layers, regular face creams usually cannot fade them completely. At 22 Luna, we use targeted Q-Switched laser technology and gentle medical peels to pinpoint each spot and safely break down the excess pigment, allowing your body to clear it away and reveal spotless, clear skin.
Sunspots and freckles are seen in over 70% of adults who spend time outdoors or commute in sunny climates.
Signs you may notice.
What people often experience when navigating this concern.
Possible causes.
Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.
Cumulative Sun Exposure
UV rays prompt local pigment cells to produce extra melanin to protect deeper skin layers.
Natural Genetic Tendency
Some people naturally inherit a genetic tendency to produce freckles when exposed to daylight.
Natural Photoaging
Over years of sun exposure, pigment cells group together into permanent, flat brown spots.
Post-Blemish Dark Marks
Healing pimples or scratches often leave behind isolated dark spots (post-inflammatory marks).
When should you seek advice?
Consultation is not about emergency; it is about replacing guesswork with an unhurried medical perspective.
Possible treatment options.
These procedures represent clinical pathways often recommended for this concern. During your consultation, we evaluate which single option or combined protocol is most appropriate for your skin biology.
Q Switched Nd:YAG Laser
Pinpoint laser pulses target only the dark pigment of the spot, causing it to lighten and fade away naturally.
Chemical Peels
Medical brightening peels to gently exfoliate superficial sun marks and brighten overall skin tone.
Skin Polishing
Diamond micro-dermabrasion to smooth away dull surface buildup and enhance skin clarity.
Light Therapy
Soothing LED light to calm the skin and support healthy cellular renewal after laser treatments.
Prevention & daily care.
Simple, effective habits that support barrier resilience and maintain clinical progress.
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy or indoor days
Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours when you are outside or driving during daylight
Use a daily antioxidant serum (like Vitamin C) under your sunscreen to fight sun damage
Wear sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats when spending extended time in direct sunlight
Frequently Asked Questions
