Experience Premier Laser Age Spot Removal
Effective Treatment for Age Spots
Age spots, often caused by prolonged sun exposure, can be effectively treated with advanced laser therapy. Laser age spot removal targets melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) without damaging the skin's surface, resulting in a more even skin tone. Dr. Gary Rothfeld, a leading board-certified dermatologist in New York, NY, offers cutting-edge laser treatments to help you achieve smooth, spotless skin.
At our state-of-the-art clinic, we understand the importance of flexibility and accessibility. That’s why we are open 7 days a week, ensuring you can receive top-quality dermatological care at a time that suits you best.
Comprehensive Age Spot Treatments
Laser Therapy:
Laser therapy destroys melanocytes without harming the skin’s surface. Multiple sessions may be required, with age spots fading gradually over weeks or months. This treatment has minimal side effects and is highly effective in reducing the appearance of age spots.
Prescription Medications:
Hydroquinone, often combined with retinoids (tretinoin) and mild steroids, can gradually lighten age spots over several months. It is essential to use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30) to protect treated areas from further sun damage. Some temporary side effects include itching, redness, and dryness.
Freezing (Cryotherapy):
Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen to age spots, causing the pigment to lighten as the skin heals. This method is ideal for treating single or small clusters of age spots. Temporary skin irritation and a slight risk of scarring or discoloration may occur.
Dermabrasion:
This technique sands down the surface layer of your skin using a rapidly rotating brush. It removes the top layer, allowing new skin to replace it. Dermabrasion may result in temporary redness and scab formation as the skin heals.
Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels use acids to burn the outer layer of skin, prompting new skin to form as the old layer peels away. Multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results. Sun protection is crucial post-treatment to prevent further pigmentation issues.
Myth Busting: The Truth About Toners
Toners are often marketed as solutions for shrinking pores and lightening age spots. However, they are not scientifically proven to reduce pore size or significantly lighten pigmentation. The tightening effect of toners is usually due to astringent ingredients that deplete essential skin oils.
