The Real Reason Age Spots Form (And the Treatment That Helps Erase Them)

Learn why age spots develop and how microdermabrasion treatments in Kennesaw, GA help fade hyperpigmentation. J Renee Esthetics combines resurfacing facials with antioxidant-rich organic skincare to improve skin turnover, reduce pigmentation, and reveal brighter, more even-toned skin.

Age spots develop when melanin accumulates in keratinocytes and the skin fails to shed those cells efficiently.

Normal young skin turnover is about 28 days, while aged or sun-damaged skin turnover is about 40–60+ days. That means pigmented cells sit in the epidermis longer, allowing pigment clusters to become visible as spots.

Clinical studies show measurable age-spot fading with periodic deeper exfoliation paired with antioxidant-rich skincare.

Microdermabrasion: one study had patients receive microderm treatments every two weeks for 16 weeks. When paired with enzyme peels, which is what we do at J Renee Esthetics with every microderm, 50% of participants saw a 100% disappearance of their age spots.

Why resurfacing works biologically

Resurfacing treatments help in three ways:

  1. Physically remove pigmented epidermal cells

  2. Increase epidermal turnover, replacing damaged cells faster

  3. Improve penetration of pigment-correcting topicals

    Evidence shows that more lasting results come from combining resurfacing with: Strict UV protection, Retinoids, Tyrosinase inhibitors, Antioxidants & Periodic resurfacing

Resurfacing alone helps remove pigment, but oxidative stress triggers pigment production. This is why we combine exfoliation with antioxidant-rich skincare, which reduces the melanocyte signaling that causes spots in the first place.

All J Renee Organics products contain antioxidants and our Silky C products, No Problems and Retinol Serums and all our Peel masks contain Tyrosine Inhibitors as well as Retinoids. With periodic microdermabrasion and one of our skin-type specific hyperpigmentation skincare sets for home routine, your skin will look blended, youthful and bright.

Take Action: We are offering a package of 8 microderms booked 2 weeks apart at $95 each ($760 package price). Which is 20% off the regular price and you’ll receive 20% off the hyperpigmentation skincare set that’s right for your skin type.

Why microdermabrasion is still the #1 skin treatment.

Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin.

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin.  The suction from microdermabrasion cleans out the pores making them look smaller, it exfoliates to fade sun spots and acne scars, it clears blackheads and acne, plumps fines lines and puts that young glow back into your cheeks.   For significant improvement of pigmentation (sun spots & Melasma) and persistent acne, you may need a series of treatments.

The number of treatments and space between depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, your goals and your budget. Monthly or bi-monthly microderm treatments are beneficial for individuals with thick/dry skin, persistent acne or for people over 25 wanting to keep their skin looking and feeling youthful.   The procedure takes about 30 minutes and there is no down time, or add to a facial for around an hour and 15 minutes of the best skin treatment AND relaxaxtion.  At J Renee Skin Clinic, I pair microderm with Light Emitting Diode Therapy (LED).  LED plumps skin at the cellular level by helping your body produce its own collagen, kills the bacteria that causes acne, among other benefits.

  • Acne

  • Uneven skin tone/texture

  • Striae distensae (stretch marks)
