Age spots, also known as liver spots, are flat, brown, or black spots that typically appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. While they are usually harmless, many people find them cosmetically bothersome and seek effective removal options. The good news is that our Liver and Age Spot Removal Treatment WORKS.
Causes and Characteristics
Age spots are primarily caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun over the years. Contrary to the name, they have no connection to liver function. These spots vary in size and can start appearing in individuals as young as 40, especially if they spend significant time in the sun.
Procedure Liver Spot Removal Details
- Consultation: Before starting the laser treatment, a consultation with our specialists is essential. We ensure the age spot is benign and discuss the treatment plan based on your skin type and the characteristics of the spots.
- Laser Session: During the laser session, the Qswitched NdYAG laser is directed at the age spots. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the session, the treated area may show some darkening, which is a normal part of the process. Over the next one to two weeks, the spots will gradually fade, revealing clearer skin. You may experience a mild sunburn-like sensation, but it usually subsides within 24-48 hours.

We offer a combination treatment where we address the issue of age or melanin spots and then work on hand texture. The liver spots or age spots are first targeted with a laser. This will gradually fade the melanin over a period of four weeks. The process may need to be repeated for best results.
The second step is to address the skin condition by superficially injecting a cocktail of Hyaluronic Acid, vitamins and minerals. This cocktail has the ability to regenerate the skin. Our clients frequently tell us that after a course of three treatments, their hands look ten years younger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Lasers and IPL, and How Do They Work?
A laser is a high-energy beam of light that precisely transfers energy into specific tissues within the skin. During the consultation, we assess this process, known as “selective photothermolysis,” to ensure optimal use.
How Long Does Age Spot Removal Last?
With repeated exposure to significant sunlight, age spots may reappear after their removal. Limiting sun exposure, regular sunscreen application, and protective clothing help prevent recurrence.
What Are the Symptoms of Age Spots?
Age spots range in color from light brown to black and typically appear on sun-exposed areas. They do not cause pain or discomfort but can be a cosmetic concern.
How Can Age Spots Be Removed?
We offer simple and effective laser for age spots, providing visible results after just one session.
The Age Spot Removal Procedure
Our age spot removal procedure is a straightforward, safe, and efficient method. A visit to our clinic for an in-person consultation or a free video consultation involves a careful examination of your age spots. Based on this assessment, we’ll provide an estimate of the number of treatments required for optimal results.
Benefits:
- Minimal Downtime: Return to work and regular activities immediately after the procedure.
- Visible Results: Age spots start to fade within a week or two, and significant fading can continue for up to six months after treatment.
What to expect after the age spot removal treatment
Your hands will look worse in the short term. The melanin tends to go dark and scab up before flaking off. This treatment is wonderful for winter when you can hide your hands with gloves. Also, staying out of the sun is crucial for success. After a month you will be able to see full results and at this point you may return for a second treatment if you should need another.
It’s important to mention that we perform this treatment in a gentle and controlled way so that the risks are minimal. Post-treatment hypo-pigmentation is not an issue for us, as reported elsewhere.
