Schweiger Dermatology Group offers non-invasive age spot treatments that remove sun and age spots and other pigmentation while also shrinking pores without downtime! Many of these treatments fall under lunchtime cosmetic procedures, making them convenient for busy schedules.

What Causes Age Spots?

Age spots, despite their name, are a result of sun exposure – not getting older. These brownish spots, also known as sunspots or liver spots, often appear on the hands, face, neck, arms, and legs. They are a form of hyperpigmentation. Although most common in people with lighter skin, they can develop on anyone over the age of 50 or those who have spent years in the sun.

Our Available Treatments For Sun and Age Spots

Preventing sunspots means avoiding overexposure to the sun. Our dermatologists recommend wearing sunscreen and covering up when outdoors. However, that will not erase sun and age spots that have already appeared. Laser treatments are a fast and safe way to lighten and remove these spots.

The Pico Laser and Excel® V Laser are two examples of lasers that are excellent options for those seeking effective age spots treatments. These advanced technologies not only target noticeable pigment but also break up pigment beneath the skin’s surface. There is minimal downtime with these lasers. People are usually red for the rest of the day following treatment, and then the dark spots may darken and peel off over the next week. Removing sunspots may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

These types of treatments are often part of broader cosmetic dermatology approaches, including options like non-surgical facelift treatments that help improve overall skin appearance.

What Results Will I See?*

Results depend on the age spots treatment you select, but they typically include a reduction in the appearance of sun and age spots, a more even skin tone, and younger-looking skin.

Is There Any Downtime?*

There is little to no downtime when it comes to laser treatments. Once you’ve been treated for age spots, it’s crucial to protect the treated area from sun exposure. We recommend using skincare products with SPF and applying sunscreen regularly to maintain your results and prevent new sunspots from forming.

Maintaining healthy skin habits can also complement aesthetic treatments, similar to how patients prepare for seasonal goals in summer body prep or spring tightening and sculpting plans.
