Laser Age Spot Treatment


	Laser is the treatment of choice for age spots
	Spots will stay away if skin is protected from the sun
	Two treatment sessions or more may be needed

The Treatment of Choice

Laser treatment is generally very effective at removing age, liver, sun or brown spots on the skin. It is the treatment of choice for these spots, in fact. The treatment may require two or more sessions to completely remove the spots depending on how many there are and on which area of the body.

Laser Treatment Lasts

In general we find that laser removal of age spots is permanent, however people do sometimes see new spots appear as they go back out into the sun. These are new spots forming as a result of age spots, not a recurrence of the old, removed spots. Good sun-avoidance is key if you wish to see your skin free of sun spots.
