Advanced Age Spot Removal for Radiant, Even Skin
Age spots, also called sunspots, liver spots, or solar lentigines, are flat, oval-shaped brown patches that appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and shoulders. They form when excess melanin accumulates in clusters, triggered by years of UV exposure, aging skin, or genetic predisposition. While harmless, age spots can resemble dangerous lesions such as melanoma. Warning signs include irregular borders, mixed colors, rapid growth, or bleeding.
At Legacy Dermatology, our board-certified experts distinguish between harmless pigmentation and potentially cancerous lesions through advanced dermoscopy and digital imaging. We offer science-backed treatments including precision laser therapy, chemical peels, cryotherapy, and prescription-strength creams, each customized to skin type, severity, and cosmetic goals. With proven results, advanced technology, and physician-led care, we deliver clear, youthful skin with safety and precision.
Why Patients Trust Our Approach to Age Spot Removal
1. Comprehensive Identification and Screening
Every spot is examined with advanced dermoscopy to confirm pigmentation type and rule out precancerous or cancerous lesions before treatment begins.
2. Wide Range of Targeted Treatments
Options include lasers, cryotherapy, peels, and medical-grade creams, allowing customization based on severity, location, downtime tolerance, and skin sensitivity.
3. Safe and Effective Technology
Lasers break down pigment clusters while sparing healthy tissue, minimizing discomfort, recovery, and risk of scarring compared to older removal methods.
4. Proven, Long-Lasting Results
Once removed, age spots rarely return. Ongoing sun protection and dermatologist-guided skincare help prevent new pigmentation from forming over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
Sessions last only minutes depending on spot size and quantity. Most patients require one to two treatments, though larger or darker patches may need additional sessions. Recovery involves mild redness, crusting, or darkening that resolves naturally within one to two weeks.
After treatment, crusting falls off within 7–14 days, revealing clearer skin. Sunscreen, protective clothing, and follow-up visits help maintain results. Without protection, new spots, not recurrences, can develop from UV exposure.
