Removing Age/ Wisdom Spots

As we gracefully age, our skin often reflects the passage of time through various marks and spots. While some of these may be endearing, others, like age or wisdom spots, can become a source of concern. At Dermcare Management – Clear Creek Dermatology, we understand the desire to maintain youthful, vibrant skin. If you’re considering removing age or wisdom spots, our expert dermatologists are here to guide you through safe and effective options.

Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are small, flat dark areas on the skin. They are most commonly found on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. These spots are a result of overactive pigment cells and are more common in adults over 50, though they can appear on younger skin too.

Despite being harmless, many seek removal of age or wisdom spots for cosmetic reasons. Treatment can lead to clearer, more even-toned skin, enhancing your confidence and overall appearance.

At Dermcare Management – Clear Creek Dermatology, we offer several approaches to effectively lighten or remove age spots. Our experienced team will tailor a treatment plan based on your skin type and desired outcomes. Treatment options include:

• Laser Therapy: This advanced technique uses focused light beams to target and break down the pigment in age spots.
• Cryotherapy: A quick procedure that involves freezing the spots with liquid nitrogen, causing them to flake off.
• Chemical Peels: A chemical solution is applied to exfoliate the skin, allowing new, unblemished skin to emerge.
• Microdermabrasion: A minimally invasive procedure that gently sands the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.
• Topical Creams: Prescription creams that inhibit melanin production, gradually lightening the spots.
