MedLite®
The MedLite laser is an excellent choice for targeting age spots and other sun damage. This Q-switched Nd: YAG laser delivers laser pulses evenly across the skin to address pigmentation concerns while improving skin tone and texture.
Important things to know about the MedLite laser are:
- Effective for Multiple Concerns: The MedLite laser treats age spots, large pores, uneven skin tone, and poor skin elasticity.
- Targeted Treatment: Targeting pigmentation deep within the skin leads to age spots flaking off.
- Long-Lasting Results: Helps achieve a more youthful appearance long term.
The MedLite laser may be ideal if you’re looking for age spot removal with additional benefits.
PicoSure®
The PicoSure® laser uses very short bursts of laser energy to treat age spots and stimulate collagen production. Important things to know about PicoSure are:
- Targeted Age Spot Treatment: The short pulses break up age spots into tiny fragments that your body absorbs and disposes of over time.
- Collagen Stimulation: This treatment uses picosecond laser pulses to boost your body’s natural collagen production, enhancing the skin’s natural glow.
- Comprehensive Treatment: Effectively improves skin tone, texture, and pigmentation.
PicoSure offers a natural way to rejuvenate your skin while diminishing the appearance of unwanted spots.
ProLite® IPL Treatment
ProLite is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. While laser treatments generally use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple low-level wavelengths at once. IPL can be effective for age spots and provides restorative skin effects.
- Gentle Treatment: Delivers light energy into the age spots to destroy those cells without harming the skin nearby.
- Versatile Treatment Areas: Can treat age spots and other pigmented lesions on the face and the neck, chest, hands, and shoulders.
- Fast and Convenient: Sessions typically take only 15–30 minutes.
ProLite is a great option for treating age spots and sun damage nearly anywhere on your body.
