Age Spots
Age spots occur as flat gray, brown, or black spots on the skin. They usually form on areas that are exposed to the sun. Age spots or liver spots are also known as sun spots, solar lentigines, and senile lentigo.
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of age spots to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
Causes of Age Spots
Age spots form as a result of excess production of skin pigment or melanin. There is research required to understand why age spots develop. Sun exposure, skin aging, or other forms of UV light exposure can be possible causes. You are most likely to develop them on the face and other sun kissed areas.
Laser Skin Resurfacing for Age Spots
Laser resurfacing medical spa treatment includes the use of advanced energy-based treatment for exfoliating the skin and penetrating into the sub-dermal skin layers. This induces natural regenerative abilities of the body.
Laser skin resurfacing is an incredibly diverse technology and can treat a broad range of skin problems. This includes removing age spots. Skin resurfacing procedures using lasers are anti-aging in nature and are appropriate for the majority of patients.
Mechanism of Laser Skin Resurfacing
A skilled laser technician will apply the treatment device to your skin. Small amount of heat will be emitted by the device. This will leave your skin with a faint tingling sensation. Laser treatments can be used for accomplishing your desired goals in just 1 – 2 sessions depending on the design of the system and the type of treatment you need. Largely, there are two types of laser treatments – ablative and nonablative.
Ablative Lasers
Ablative lasers include a collection of skin resurfacing systems that essentially create micro-injuries on the skin for prompting the skin’s healing abilities. They are minimally invasive and effective in performing deep exfoliation by removing the outer layers. Ablative lasers can be used for several skin concerns, such as sun damage and age spots. It can also be used for smoothing skin texture.
Non-Ablative Lasers
Non-ablative lasers don’t cause any injury to the skin. These systems generally involve ultrasound or light technology for stimulating the sub-dermal skin layers. Non-ablative lasers are a form of noninvasive treatment that is best for addressing skin concerns at root level. These layers are useful for encouraging collagen production and reducing the appearance of age spots and fine lines.
What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Do?
The initial assumption made by some patients when they hear about laser resurfacing is that it only addresses issues at skin surface. However, laser treatments can be used for addressing both sub-dermal and superficial skin concerns. It can be used for treating age spots, blemishes, and sun damage.
One of the more popular types of non-invasive skin laser med spa treatments is Fraxel. This technology can be used for smoothing the tone and texture of the skin. It can also eliminate certain skin concerns, such as freckles and age spots.
