At West Wilson Aesthetics, we use IPL and laser treatments to gently remove age spots to reveal smooth, fresher-looking skin.
Both IPL and Laser are the gold standard in age spot removal.
Age spots are darkened patches of skin. They often develop on areas that have been exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.
Most commonly treated areas (brown spots) include the face, neck and chest; however, other popular areas include the back of the hands, arms, legs and even the back.
During your first consultation, our medically trained professionals will help form a treatment plan for you that will consist of IPL or Laser Resurfacing for your age spots.
Avoid excessive sun exposure. Avoid tanning for one month before your treatment.
IPL and non-ablative laser therapy cause little inflammation, so the downtime should be no more than a few days. On the other hand, recovery from an ablative laser resurfacing procedure usually takes 2-3 weeks. This allows the treated site to close up and heal properly.
Lasers can destroy melanin-producing cells or safely remove your top layer of skin.
Many people only need one or two laser therapy sessions to get rid of dark spots.
At West Wilson Aesthetics, we use both IPL and Picosure laser to treat age spots. Both treatments can be used in combination with one another for the most effective results. Your medically trained professional will help you determine the best course of treatment for your specific concerns.
