Sun spots , also known as age spots , are flat areas of darker pigmentation that develop on the skin due to prolonged UV exposure. They commonly appear on the face, hands, shoulders, and arms, where the skin is most frequently exposed to sunlight. Over time, these spots may become more defined as pigment continues to accumulate in the same areas.
Sacramento is one of the sunniest cities in California, averaging over 270 sunny days per year, and the UV index across the Sacramento Valley remains high year-round. This creates ideal conditions for sun spot formation and progression, particularly for patients who have spent years enjoying Sacramento’s outdoor lifestyle, whether cycling the American River Parkway, spending summers at Folsom Lake, gardening across the region’s residential neighborhoods in Land Park, East Sacramento, and Curtis Park, or simply living and working in the open Sacramento sunshine. Sun spots tend to become significantly more visible and numerous for Sacramento patients in their 40s and 50s as decades of Valley UV exposure accumulate on the face, hands, and chest. At Pretty Please Aesthetics, we focus on helping reduce their appearance while supporting clearer, more balanced-looking skin that reflects how you actually feel.
Sun spots develop when the skin generates excess melanin in response to UV exposure.
Neo by Aerolase® targets excess pigment beneath the skin with controlled 1064 nm laser energy, gradually fading sun spots and improving overall skin tone. Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, making it one of the most inclusive options for sun spot removal in Sacramento’s diverse patient population.
Chemical peels remove the top layers of pigmented skin, promoting the shedding of discolored cells and revealing a smoother, more uniform complexion. The VI Peel® and ZO® 3-Step Peel™ are particularly effective for Sacramento patients dealing with surface sun spots and uneven tone from accumulated UV exposure.
Medical-grade skincare helps regulate pigment production, supports long-term skin clarity, and prevents the formation of new spots. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is a non-negotiable component of every sun spot treatment plan in Sacramento’s high-UV environment.
Treating sun spots focuses on improving both skin tone and overall skin quality over time.
At Pretty Please Aesthetics, we understand that sun spots can make the skin appear uneven or aged, even when the rest of your health and energy tell a completely different story. Our approach focuses on gradually improving tone and clarity without over-treating the skin. We take time to evaluate your specific pattern of pigmentation, your skin type, and your history of sun exposure before recommending any treatment.
Sacramento patients dealing with sun spots face a specific and ongoing UV challenge that does not end after treatment unless sun protection becomes a daily habit. We build that reality into every plan we create, educating our patients on sun protection strategies that are realistic for Sacramento’s lifestyle and climate. Patients from Midtown Sacramento, Land Park, East Sacramento, Curtis Park, Folsom, Roseville, and Elk Grove trust us for sun spot care that is effective, personalized, and honest about what long-term maintenance requires. With targeted treatments and consistent aftercare, we help you achieve a more even, refreshed complexion.
Pricing varies based on the treatment selected, the area treated, and the number of sessions recommended. Contact Pretty Please Aesthetics for a personalized consultation and cost estimate.
The most effective approach depends on the depth and distribution of your sun spots and your skin type. Neo by Aerolase®, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare are among the most commonly recommended options. Your Sacramento provider will outline the best plan during your consultation.
Some treatments show visible improvement within a few sessions, while others work more gradually as the skin renews. Results continue to improve over time with consistent care and daily SPF.
Yes, sun spots can return with continued UV exposure if daily broad-spectrum SPF is not maintained. In Sacramento's high-UV environment, consistent sun protection is essential for preserving treatment results over the long term.
