What do you find out?
What are age spots?
Age spots are a form of pigmentation that can appear as you age. Heredity plays a big role in this, but excessive sun exposure is also often the cause. Age spots can occur anywhere on the body, but they are often found in areas that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, hands and arms. Age spots are harmless and not malignant, but they can be disturbing to some people. Fortunately, you can do something about them.
Laser treatment age spots
Laser treatment is an effective way to get rid of your age spots. During a laser treatment, short laser flashes are sent at the pigment spots and the pigment granules are heated. This breaks down the grains, which then allows them to be more easily transported through the body. This ensures that the pigment spots will eventually disappear.
Laser treatment with the Fotona Starwalker Maqx
At New Skin Laserclinic, we use the latest and most advanced laser equipment, the Fotona Starwalker Maqx. The Fotona Starwalker is an effective laser device suitable for any skin type. In addition, we use a Zimmer Cool device. This blows ice cold air on the skin so that the skin is, as it were, numb to the laser. This makes a treatment 75% less sensitive.
Age spots after laser treatment
After the laser treatment, dark brown or sometimes black scabs will form on spots. It is important that the healing process is not disturbed and that these scabs are not scraped off. If you do scrape these crusts off, white spots may appear that eventually will not color back. It is also possible that some blisters may appear. These will also go away by themselves.
