Age Spots Laser

Over time we start to see the signs of aging show up on our skin in the form of fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, and dark pigmentations (also referred to as age spots). Age spots are a result of sun damage and as we age, these flat, tan, or brown spots begin to appear on the back of hands, forearms, neck, chest and face. Age spots are harmless and can be removed cosmetically with a number of procedures. Our on-site doctor is an award-winning facial plastic surgeon and his expertise offers our clients the assurance that they are receiving the best treatment option available for their concerns. He offers complimentary consultations to every client to create a treatment plan designed for each client's needs.

 

What are Age Spots?

 

As we age we begin to see the effects of sun exposure and sun damage. Age spots, also referred to as liver spots, sun spots and lentigos, may begin to appear when the pigment producing cells in the skin are activated by UV rays to produce more pigment. They typically appear on the back of hands, forearms, neck, chest and face as flat, somewhat round, tan or brown spots ranging in size from pea size to dime size. These spots are not cancerous, however many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic purposes. There are a number of cosmetic treatment options for age spots removal utilizing our innovative laser technology, chemical peels, IPL photo facials and topical lightening treatments. All of these treatments make it possible to erase and brighten age spots.

 

Benefits of Age Spots Laser

 

At Aesthetic Edge we offer the most advanced technology available providing maximum benefits in the treatment of age spots. The ActiveFX and DeepFX laser treats age spots, precancerous lesions, and brown and red spots. With just a single treatment, you will notice a long lasting dramatic improvement in not only age spots, but scars, wrinkles and skin texture as well. IPL photo facial treatments are another option using the Lumenis One laser platform. This laser technology treats age spots in one short non-invasive session, creating a more even skin tone with minimal downtime. Chemical peels are another treatment option which improves and smoothes skin texture and lightens pigmented lesions. This is a quick in-office procedure with downtime of approximately 5-7 days. Some patients looking for a gradual treatment option will see lightening from topical treatments. A topical bleaching cream containing hydroquinone, a bleaching agent sometimes combined with tretinoin and cortisone cream will gradually lighten age spots over 2-3 months.
