Bye-Bye Age Spots: Laser Treatment for Clearer, Youthful-Looking Skin
Skin cancer is a significant concern for people of all skin colors, especially those with fair skin or a history of sun damage. Dark spots, or age spots, can also be a result of sun damage and can affect people of all skin types. Board-certified dermatologists recommend various treatments for age spots, such as intense pulsed light therapy, chemical peels, liquid nitrogen, and laser treatments.
Some fade creams, kojic acid, and other topical agents may also help to treat age spots. However, these treatments may come with side effects such as skin irritation, and it may take several weeks or months for the skin to heal after treatment. To prevent age spots and further sun damage, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using broad-spectrum sunscreen and sun protection measures such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding sun exposure during peak hours.
LASER TREATMENT FOR AGE SPOTS REMOVAL
Age spots, also know as sunspots, liver spots, and solar lentigines, are small, flat dark areas on the skin. They vary in size and usually appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. These spots usually start to appear after age 50 and grow larger as a person ages. Age spots are caused by overactive pigment cells. Ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up the production of melanin. On skin that has had years of sun exposure, age spots appear when melanin becomes clumped or is produced in high concentrations.
PicoSure for Acne Scars and Age Spots Removal
Picosure laser uses a powerful laser light energy to blast away the pigments associated with age spots. The energy breaks up the pigment in microscopic particles that are then flushed out by your immune system.
Can you do age spots removal with laser?
Yes, laser resurfacing and other forms of laser and light therapy can effectively reduce or eliminate sunspots. Post treatment, you will need to protect your skin from further sun damage, so the spots don’t return. You should maintain your new complexion by wearing protective clothing and using a sunscreen with an SPF of 30+ during outdoor activities.
Does laser remove age spots permanently?
You can expect the results of a laser treatment for age spots to produce very long-lasting results. Some patients may even experience permanent results depending on the type of pigment concern being treated.

Q&A
How does laser treatment help to get rid of age spots?
Laser technology is used to direct light energy into the skin to target age spots. This light energy breaks down the pigment of the spot, which is then taken in by the body and removed, resulting in a diminished or completely vanished age spot.
How does RF microneedling help to get rid of age spots?
RF microneedling is a procedure that utilizes minute needles to produce miniscule channels in the skin, stimulating the growth of collagen and enhancing the texture of the skin. This treatment can also aid in diminishing the look of age spots by encouraging the development of healthy new skin cells.
Which treatment is more effective for removing age spots – laser or RF microneedling?
The choice between laser and RF microneedling to remove age spots can vary depending on the patient’s skin type, the extent of the spots, and other considerations. To determine the best treatment for you, it is recommended to speak with a competent provider.
Are there any side effects to laser or RF microneedling treatment for age spots?
After receiving laser or RF microneedling treatment for age spots, some individuals may experience temporary symptoms such as redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. However, these effects usually vanish within a few days.
How long does it take to see results from laser or RF microneedling treatment for age spots?
Within a short period, patients can start to notice improvements from laser or RF microneedling treatments for age spots, with further enhancement after a few more sessions. The amount of treatments necessary to achieve desired results will differ depending on the intensity of the age spots, yet most people report significant progress after 3-5 treatments.
