Skin naturally changes over time, and exposure to the sun can accelerate those changes. Sunspots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation develop as melanin clusters in certain areas, leading to uneven tone and texture. Environmental factors, such as pollution and weather, can also contribute to discoloration and make the skin appear dull.
If you are looking to reduce the appearance of sun and age spots, we offer treatments at U | 180 Medical Spa & Wellness that can help promote clearer and smoother skin. We use methods that target pigmentation while supporting overall skin renewal. Depending on your skin type and concerns, we can recommend an approach in Winnsboro, LA, that works for you.
Age spots and sun spots are areas of skin that have darkened due to prolonged sun exposure and the natural aging process. They develop when melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, accumulates in certain areas after years of UV exposure. These spots are most common in areas that get the most sun, like the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. While they are harmless, they can become more noticeable over time and may give the skin an uneven appearance. If you’re noticing more spots appearing or they seem to be getting darker, treatments are available to help reduce their visibility.
We use advanced technologies designed to target pigmentation and support skin renewal. Some treatments work by delivering energy beneath the skin’s surface, helping to break up excess melanin and promote a more even tone. Others focus on resurfacing, gently removing damaged skin cells to reveal fresher layers underneath.
Hydration and nutrient infusion techniques can also be used to support skin health, improving texture and overall clarity. Certain methods stimulate collagen production, which helps the skin appear smoother and more refreshed over time. By combining different approaches, we can create a treatment plan that works best for your skin type and concerns.
Targeting pigmentation at its source helps break down areas of discoloration without affecting the surrounding skin. These treatments work by addressing excess melanin, leading to a more balanced and even complexion over time. Because they focus on the affected areas, results develop gradually and blend naturally with your skin tone.
Many of the methods used do not require incisions or extensive recovery time. You can typically return to daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur, but most treatments are well tolerated and do not interfere with normal routines.
In addition to reducing age and sun spots, some treatments also improve overall skin quality. By stimulating collagen and enhancing hydration, they can help refine texture, smooth fine lines, and restore a more refreshed appearance. This approach supports long-term skin health while addressing pigmentation concerns.
Pigmentation issues can affect people with different skin tones, and treatments can be adjusted based on individual needs. Advanced technologies allow for customizable settings that accommodate a range of skin types without causing unwanted lightening or irritation. A consultation helps determine the best option for achieving clearer and more even skin.
EnerJet is a skin remodeling treatment that uses high-pressure jet injection technology to improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation. This system delivers therapeutic compounds into the skin through its jet technology without causing thermal damage. It is designed to address concerns like age spots, fine lines, scars, and overall skin quality.
This technology uses a jet stream to push active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, where they help break up excess melanin and stimulate collagen production. By dispersing the solution at high pressure, EnerJet triggers a natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin. Because it works without needles or heat, it is suitable for various skin types and minimizes the risk of irritation.
The treatment is quick, with most sessions lasting around 30 minutes. An anesthetic cream can be used before the treatment, but this is not needed for many patients. You may feel a subtle feeling of pressure during the treatment. Since there is no need for downtime, normal activities can be resumed the same day, and gradual improvements in skin tone and texture can be seen over the following weeks.
DermaFuse is a non-invasive treatment that enhances skin rejuvenation by delivering targeted nutrients and energy deep into the skin. Using electrical stimulation, this system helps improve hydration, firmness, and overall skin clarity without needles or downtime. It is designed to support skin health while addressing pigmentation and texture concerns.
The technology behind DermaFuse uses low-level electrical currents to open temporary channels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. This process stimulates circulation and encourages collagen production, which can help improve skin tone and texture over time. DermaFuse enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture and maintain a refreshed appearance.
Treatment sessions are typically comfortable and take around 30 minutes. Patients may feel a mild tingling sensation as the device works, but there is no pain or recovery time. The skin often appears more hydrated and radiant immediately after treatment, with continued improvements as collagen production increases and the nourishing products take effect.
Préime DermaFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that deeply cleanses, hydrates, and nourishes the skin while addressing pigmentation and texture concerns. It combines advanced technologies to exfoliate, infuse active ingredients, and stimulate circulation to promote a clearer and more refreshed complexion. This treatment enhances overall skin health while improving the appearance of age and sun spots.
The system integrates multiple skin-enhancing methods, including cleansing and moisturizing, ultrasound infusion, facial muscle toning, and radiofrequency energy. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and surface pigmentation, while ultrasound waves help deliver hydrating and brightening ingredients deeper into the skin. Radiofrequency energy gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen production, and microcurrent technology tones and energizes the muscles in the face.
A typical session lasts around 45 minutes and is completely non-invasive. The treatment is gentle, with most patients experiencing a soothing sensation throughout. The skin often looks brighter and more hydrated immediately after, with ongoing improvements in tone and texture appearing in the following weeks.
V-IPL is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment that targets pigmentation and other skin concerns using controlled light energy. This technology is designed for age spot removal, reducing discoloration while also improving overall skin tone and texture. Its precise light pulses help break down excess melanin and promote a more even complexion.
The V-IPL system from Viora emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and target pigmented areas. The light energy is absorbed by melanin, causing the pigment to break down and fade over time. This process also stimulates collagen production, which can enhance skin firmness and smoothness. Adjustable settings allow for customization based on skin type and pigmentation severity.
Treatments last 20 to 30 minutes. Patients may feel a mild warming or snapping sensation during the session. Some redness may appear afterward, similar to a mild sunburn, as the skin reacts to the treatment. Your dark spots may begin to shed naturally over the next week or two. Let these areas naturally shed, and refrain from harsh exfoliation until your skin heals from the treatment.
V-FR is a fractional radiofrequency treatment that promotes skin renewal by targeting pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality. This age spot treatment delivers controlled RF energy to the skin, which encourages collagen production and resurfaces the outer layers. It helps reduce discoloration while also improving fine lines and skin firmness.
V-FR uses tiny microelectrodes to create controlled thermal zones in the skin. This process removes damaged surface cells while stimulating deeper layers to produce new collagen. As the skin heals, pigmented areas fade, and the overall texture becomes smoother. The fractional nature of the treatment allows for effective results with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
Sessions are fast and comfortable thanks to the cooling technology of the device. You may feel some warmth as we treat your skin. Once the treatment is complete, you can expect some redness and sensitivity, so be gentle with your skin. As the skin heals, pigmentation gradually fades, and you may notice other benefits such as improved skin elasticity.

The number of sessions depends on the severity of pigmentation and the treatment method used. Some patients see improvements after a single session, while others may need multiple treatments for more noticeable results.
Improvements in skin tone and clarity can start appearing within a few days to weeks, depending on the treatment. Some skin rejuvenation treatments promote immediate hydration and brightness, while others stimulate collagen production and pigment breakdown, which can take longer to show full results. Fractional radiofrequency and IPL treatments often require several weeks for the pigment to fade as the skin renews itself.
Results can last for several months to years, depending on factors like sun exposure, skin care routine, and natural aging. Treatments that stimulate collagen production, such as radiofrequency, provide ongoing improvements as the skin rebuilds. Pigmentation treatments can offer long-lasting effects, but new spots may develop over time with continued sun exposure. Maintenance treatments can help preserve even skin tone.
Daily sun protection is essential to prevent new pigmentation from forming. Using broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and wearing protective clothing can help reduce UV exposure. A consistent skincare routine with brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinoids can also slow down pigment formation.
Most treatments can be adjusted to work safely on different skin tones, but some may be more suitable than others. IPL and fractional radiofrequency are effective for many skin types but require careful settings for darker complexions. Jet injection and infusion-based treatments offer gentler options that support skincare for mature skin without causing irritation. A consultation helps determine the best approach based on skin type and concerns.
Reducing pigmentation and improving skin texture can be achieved with the right skin rejuvenation treatments. The technologies used at U | 180 Medical Spa & Wellness are designed to target age and sun spots while promoting overall skin renewal.
