What causes age spots?

Age spots are caused by years of sun exposure. UV rays trigger the production of excess melanin, which gathers in the skin and forms visible pigmentation. They typically show up on:

• Cheeks
• Forehead
• Nose
• Hands
• Chest

Other contributing factors may include genetics, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation.

Best treatments for age spot removal

At VOS Skin Clinic, our dermatologists use advanced technology and medical skincare to treat pigmentation safely and effectively. Common treatment options include:

Laser toning (Pico or Nd:YAG lasers) – Breaks down excess melanin deep in the skin without harming the surface.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – Targets multiple pigment types and improves overall skin clarity.

Brightening peels – Helps lighten superficial spots and encourages cell turnover for brighter skin.

Topical treatments and vitamin infusions – Used to support laser results and prevent new spots from forming.

Your treatment plan is tailored to your skin tone, age spot depth, and sensitivity.

Who is a good candidate?

Age spot removal is ideal for those who:

• Have visible dark spots from sun exposure
• Want clearer, more even-toned skin
• Are looking for non-surgical skin rejuvenation
• Have pigmentation that hasn’t faded with skincare alone

Treatments are safe for most skin types when performed by experienced professionals.

What to expect during treatment

• Skin consultation and spot analysis
• Cleansing and prep of the treatment area
• Laser or IPL session (mild warmth or tingling may occur)
• Application of calming products and sunscreen

Sessions usually take 20–30 minutes. Some spots may temporarily darken before fading.

Aftercare tips

• Avoid direct sunlight and wear SPF 50+ daily
• Don’t pick or scratch treated areas
• Use gentle skincare and avoid exfoliation for a few days
• Follow any special instructions from your dermatologist
• Stay hydrated and use brightening serums for maintenance
