+ FAQ
What causes age spots?
Age spots, freckles, and various birthmarks are just a few of the commonly known marks generally referred to in the medical profession as pigmented lesions. Except for birthmarks, they are almost always caused by the cumulative exposure to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays over the years. Once you have your age spots removed, you will want to purchase one of our Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens to prevent further UV damage to your skin.
Can the spots come back after treatment?
Common pigmented lesions do not return. However, you may develop more age spots over time. Even if you have stopped tanning, the sun damage of your youth may show up as you continue to age. It is important to wear sunscreen at all times to minimize sun induced melanocyte stimulation that will create more dark spots over time. A high quality antioxidant such as our CE FErrulic serum or Prevage with Idebenone also helps prevent free-radicals from UVA rays cause further skin damage. Our TRUE Minerals make-up is also the first make-up to contain Idebenone and help with anti-aging.
What type of post-treatment care is necessary?
Most clients experience a warm sensation and some redness similar to a light sunburn. The day following treatment you will develop some darkening of the treated brown spots. It is important that you not scrub off these dark areas. They need to heal from within and will fall off on their own. You can apply makeup over the area the next day. We recommend that you use a moisturizer and physical sunscreen the first week after treatment. Katie can recommend appropriate products during your treatment that you will be able to try and purchase while in the office.
How many treatments will it take to remove them?
Most common pigmented lesions are removed within three to four treatments. Some deeper lesions will require more treatments.
