What are Sun Damage & Brown Spots?
Sun-Damaged Skin
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can cause premature skin aging, skin cancer and other conditions such as:
- Skin texture changes, such as coarse wrinkles, especially on the back of the neck, and fine wrinkles caused by thinning of the skin, especially on the forearms and back of hands.
- Excessive bruising from minor trauma.
- Pigment changes include brown spots, freckles, age spots, and liver spots.
- White spots on legs, arms, and the back of hands.
- Red areas on the sides of the neck.
- Moles, some of which can develop into skin cancer.
- Pre-cancerous skin changes can develop into squamous cell carcinoma, including red scaly lesions called actinic keratosis and lesions on the lips called actinic cheilitis.

Dr. Silva was phenomenal. Truly a wonderful experience. I felt understood as a patient and like my feelings mattered in how my treatment was approached.I'm grateful to have found Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California. I know that part seems canned or copy and pasted, but it's not. I wanted to use the full name. And I guess I didn't find them, they were referred to me. And I'm grateful they were.

I had a Diamond Glow facial with Kayla. She was professional and friendly and made me feel immediately at ease. She explained the treatment and its benefits. I loved having my lips included as part of the treatment. My skin feels and looks amazing! Thank you, Kayla!!!

I have traveled the world and gone to the best of the best dermatology and skin care specialists from Beverly Hills to South Africa and Dr Alison S Kang at Laser and Skin is THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST!!! I would travel across state lines to be in her care. I feel seen, heard and leave feeling beautiful. The entire staff is so friendly and professional and the location is gorgeous. I couldn't recommend this medical facility enough. Thank you L&S. You've done it again.

I’ve been coming here since 2020 for acne scar treatments. I am beyond pleased with their staff and services. I’ve been Dr. Silva’s patient since the beginning and she makes me feel like a priority patient whenever I have concerns or questions. Kathy, who’s been treating me, is the nurse who I trust completely with my face! She’s so skilled, experienced, and just a joy to work with. Kathy truly wants what’s best for your skin, her insight is so helpful and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr. Silva and Kathy have gotten familiar with my skin and assign proper settings for my skin type. They truly put care and thought, trying to assign treatments, knowing what intensity my skin can and cannot handle. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement of my skins texture and appearance. I feel so much more confident in my skin than I ever have. So glad I found this place!
