Sun Damage & Age Spot Treatment
Houston sun is legendary, but years of vibrant outdoor life eventually leave their mark. Persistent brown spots, freckling, and patchy discoloration often make skin appear older and more tired than you feel inside. Fortunately, sun damage is one of the most treatable skin conditions available today.
At Your Aesthetic Edge in Houston, TX, Dr. Climov combines a surgeon’s meticulous precision with cutting-edge aesthetic technology to lift away stubborn pigmentation and restore a refreshed, luminous glow. We welcome you to visit our Houston office for a personalized evaluation and rediscover the natural clarity of your skin.
Reduce brown spots, uneven pigmentation, and years of sun damage for a clearer, more even, and youthful complexion.
Advanced dual-wavelength laser technology paired with medical-grade skincare to safely target pigmentation while stimulating healthy collagen production.
Most patients experience only 1–2 days of mild redness, with treatment customized to fit your lifestyle and goals.
Unlike many med spas, every patient is personally evaluated by our fellowship-trained aesthetic plastic surgeon to ensure your pigmentation is treated safely and to rule out lesions that should not be treated with a laser.
Age spots—frequently referred to as sun spots or solar lentigines—develop when years of ultraviolet exposure prompt the skin to produce localized clusters of excess melanin. These spots routinely surface on areas receiving the most exposure to the relentless Texas climate: your face, neck, chest, hands, and shoulders.
While these spots are generally benign, they serve as a visible record of accumulated UV exposure, frequently accompanied by rough texture, dullness, and fine lines. Addressing sun damage isn't simply a matter of aesthetics; it is a vital step in refreshing and maintaining your skin's overall vitality and health.
Achieving a smooth, clear complexion requires a strategy that targets existing dark spots while actively stimulating healthy cell renewal. Dr. Climov frequently utilizes state-of-the-art laser resurfacing on the HELIX™ system by DEKA—a platform designed to break up stubborn pigmentation clusters while simultaneously encouraging collagen production. This dual action softens fine lines and refines skin texture in the very same treatment session.
To protect your initial investment and prevent new spots from surfacing, Dr. Climov designs a customized medical-grade skincare regimen tailored precisely to your daily routine. Because no two complexions are identical, your treatment path is focused purely on what works—focusing on effective, proven modalities rather than an unnecessary list of add-ons.
Not every brown mark on the skin is a simple sun spot. Before recommending any laser intervention, Dr. Climov personally evaluates your skin to verify that every spot is safe to treat. If any spot appears unusual or atypical, he ensures it is properly evaluated rather than simply lasered away. This extra measure reflects the core philosophy of our practice: thorough, unhurried care completely dedicated to your long-term health.
If you are bothered by age spots, irregular pigmentation, or sun-damaged skin texture and want noticeable clarity with minimal downtime, you are likely an ideal candidate. During your initial consultation, Dr. Climov reviews your medical background and evaluates your skin type. For patients with deeper skin tones, gentler non-ablative settings are carefully utilized to safely treat pigment without risking post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Most treatments involve very modest recovery—typically a day or two of light flushing or subtle flaking as fresh, healthy skin surfaces. Targeted spots may temporarily darken before naturally sloughing away, which is a normal indicator that the pigment is lifting. Your skin continues to brighten over the following weeks. Our clinical team provides simple, detailed aftercare instructions and helps you plan your treatments around Houston’s sunniest seasons.

At Your Aesthetic Edge in Houston, TX, you will experience an atmosphere of refined luxury, attentive personal guidance, and truly individualized care from your first consultation through every follow-up.
Age spots (solar lentigines) are harmless clusters of pigment triggered by UV exposure. Other conditions, such as melasma or atypical moles, require different care. Dr. Climov thoroughly evaluates all spots beforehand to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.
Many patients enjoy significant clearing after just one session. However, widespread or deeper sun damage may benefit from a short series of treatments, which will be mapped out during your consultation.
Yes. With specialized parameters and gentle, non-ablative laser options, we can safely and effectively address dark spots on deeper skin tones without disrupting surrounding pigment.
The spots targeted and treated during your sessions are permanently cleared. However, new sun exposure can trigger fresh pigment over time. Wearing broad-spectrum SPF daily is the single best way to preserve your clear results.
Treatment pricing depends on the size of the area treated and the specific technology utilized. We provide a complete, transparent fee breakdown during your initial evaluation.
