Age Spot Treatments

Reclaim Radiant, Even Tones

What is Age Spot Treatments?

Age spots, also known as solar lentigines, commonly appear as flat, darkened patches of skin that result from prolonged sun exposure and aging. These, along with other types of discolorations like brown spots and sun damage, can significantly affect your skin’s appearance. Fortunately, modern dermatology offers advanced treatments that effectively reduce and eliminate age spots, restoring your skin’s natural radiance.

 

Understanding Age and Sun Spots

Age spots, also referred to as sun spots, are the result of excessive sun exposure over time. Melanin, the pigment responsible for our skin color, collects in concentrated amounts in these areas as a defense mechanism, leading to the formation of darker patches on the skin. While they are harmless, many people seek age spot treatment for aesthetic reasons.

 

Effective Spot Treatment Modalities

There are various treatment options available to target age spots and restore an even complexion:

  • Laser Treatments: Using focused laser energy, this method targets the excess melanin in the skin, breaking it down so that the body can naturally eliminate the pigments, resulting in clearer skin.
  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL treatments use a broad spectrum of light to penetrate the skin, targeting and fragmenting pigment clusters, including age spots, for gradual and effective reduction.
  • Chemical Peels: By exfoliating the skin’s top layer, chemical peels encourage the turnover of skin cells, helping to fade age spots and reveal fresh, unblemished skin beneath.

 

Why Treat Age Spots?

Treating age spots can improve not only the appearance of your skin but also boost your confidence. Clear, spot-free skin often gives the appearance of youth and vitality. Additionally, age spot treatments like IPL or laser therapy are non-invasive options that help improve skin texture, address pigmentation issues, and promote skin health without downtime.

The face, neck, chest, and arms usually have the best results; however, most areas of the body can be treated.

This can last 1 to 3 days; however, you can cover these areas with makeup or tinted sunscreen.

Can I get an IPL facial before a special event?
