AGE SPOT REMOVAL

  • Sun spots or age spots, also known as as solar lentigo or senile lentigines are pigmented lesions. Induced by sun damage accumulated over the years, they are well-defined, uniformly coloured areas of brown or greyish pigment. They generally show up on the areas of the body that have had greater sun exposure. For example, the back of the hands, the face, neck and chest areas. Can you edit to some people also develop more crusted, thickened and pigmented areas known as seborrhoeic keratosis.

  • Fotona’s Sp Dynamis laser can effectively treat keratoses with the removal of the epidermis and superficial dermis in a controlled and relatively bloodless manner.

  • Clinical studies have shown that Er:YAG lasers are very effective for the treatment of keratoses, with a clinical and histological improvement of up to 93% after just one treatment.

  • 30 - 60 minutes each session.

    4-6 weeks interval between each session

  • Pre Treatment Advice: Do not sunbathe or apply self tanning products to the area being treated for the 2 weeks before your treatment

    Post Treatment Advice: Do not pick and scratch treated area. It may appear as a dry skin patch and sometimes a scab will form over the treated area.There will be some redness where you have been treated. The skin will also be a little dry and require moisturising, sometimes the skin gently peels – again this depends on the treatment regime we decide on with you. You will be advised to use a sunscreen factor 50 for a minimum of 2 weeks before and after treatment. If you do not continue to use sunscreen then you are going to expose your skin to the risk of further sun damage.

  • Patients are likely to see a darkening of the spot treated area for up to 10 days before the skin recovers
