You’re applying makeup or getting dressed for the day, and there they are again – those brown spots on your cheeks and hands that seem to appear out of nowhere.
Age spots are one of the most common skin concerns people face as they get older. The good news is that several aesthetic treatments can reduce or remove them.
At Skin Deep Laser MD in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Laura S. Riehm offers medically backed services in a physician-led setting. She and her staff combine real results with a commitment to patient safety.
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots are flat, brown, gray, or black patches that generally appear on sun-exposed parts of the skin. They develop over time as melanin, the pigment in your skin, builds up in response to UV rays. Common areas include the face, hands, shoulders, arms, and chest.
Best Solutions for Age Spots
You don’t have to sit back and accept age spots as inevitable. Here are some of the most effective therapies that can address them.
PicoFOCUS® Laser Treatments
PicoFOCUS uses advanced picosecond laser technology to target and break down excess pigmentation beneath the skin’s surface. The rapid bursts of energy fragment melanin into smaller particles, which your body gradually clears away.
Benefits include:
- It offers fast, noticeable results with fewer sessions.
- It comes with minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
- It’s suitable for many skin types, including darker tones.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin. This process encourages collagen production and accelerates skin renewal, fading age spots and improving overall tone and texture.
People choose this option because it:
- Promotes natural skin repair and pigment reduction.
- Enhances the absorption of brightening serums.
- Delivers gradual, visible changes with minimal recovery.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use a carefully selected solution to remove the top layers of the skin where pigment often resides. By increasing cell turnover, chemical peels can help lighten age spots and reveal more even-looking skin beneath.
This service can:
- Target superficial pigmentation and sun damage.
- Be tailored to many skin types and challenges.
- Provide smoother, more radiant skin with repeated use.
Get Ready to See Clearer Skin
Age spots don’t have to be permanent. With today’s medical-grade therapies, healthier and brighter skin is within reach.
