Living in sunny Florida has its perks but too much sun can leave behind pigmentation and age spots that make skin look uneven and older than it is. At ThinMD MedSpa in Jacksonville Beach, FL, we offer advanced treatments to correct discoloration and restore youthful, glowing skin.
Why Pigmentation Happens

Frequently Asked Questions
Can age spots come back after treatment?
Treated spots typically fade, but new pigmentation can form with ongoing sun exposure. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and periodic maintenance sessions may help preserve results long term.
What is the difference between age spots and melasma?
Age spots are discrete darkened patches caused mostly by cumulative sun exposure, while melasma is a hormonally influenced pigmentation pattern that often appears symmetrically on the face. The two are treated differently, so an in-person skin assessment matters before choosing a treatment.
When will I see results from pigmentation treatment?
Many patients notice lightening within two to four weeks of the first session, with continued improvement over a series. Deeper pigment takes longer because it sits lower in the skin and clears gradually.
Should a dark spot be checked before cosmetic treatment?
Yes. Any spot that is new, changing, irregular in border or color, or bleeding should be medically evaluated first. Cosmetic pigment treatment proceeds only after concerning lesions are ruled out.
