What are Age Spots?

Age spots, commonly referred to as liver spots or sunspots, are more than just a testament to time; they’re a reflection of years spent under the sun, often appearing as flat, brown, gray, or black spots on the skin. For many, these spots are not just about aesthetics but a reminder of the skin’s vulnerability to the external environment. While they’re generally harmless, the presence of age spots can be a constant source of discomfort and self-consciousness, detracting from the skin’s natural beauty and luminance. Fortunately, with modern technology and the right care, these reminders of the past can be significantly reduced, if not entirely eliminated.

Treatment At Helix MedSpa

Clearing Age Spots with Precision and Care

At Helix MedSpa, our comprehensive approach to age spots combines cutting-edge Lumecca technology with the restorative power of Allumier MD skincare products. This dynamic pairing addresses age spots at their core, effectively fading their appearance and preventing their recurrence. Starting with Lumecca, its intense pulsed light (IPL) directly targets the melanin within age spots, breaking them down without affecting the surrounding skin. This ensures a targeted and effective treatment, reducing the appearance of age spots and giving the skin a clearer, more youthful look.

But treatment doesn’t end with technology. Proper skincare is paramount in not only maintaining the results but also preventing future age spots. We often recommend Allumier MD’s range of products, tailored to your skin’s needs. From the Bright & Clear Solution, which refines skin texture and tone, to the AluminEye, which offers hydration and brightening for the under-eye area, Allumier MD products work in tandem with Lumecca treatments to offer optimal results. Moreover, depending on individual skin assessments, our experts may prescribe other products to further enhance and prolong the benefits of your treatment.

With our dedicated team’s expertise, combined with world-class products and technology, we aim to provide a holistic solution to age spots, restoring skin confidence and radiance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Age spots are primarily caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. They can also be a result of aging or exposure to UV lights.

Lumecca uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target melanin in age spots, breaking it down without affecting the surrounding skin.

The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of the age spots and individual skin type. Typically, patients see significant improvement in 1-3 sessions.

After treatment, you might experience slight redness or warmth, which typically subsides within a few hours. It’s also common for age spots to darken before they fade away.

With proper sun protection and adherence to the personalized maintenance plan, results can be long-lasting. Regular follow-ups and skin care can further prolong the effects.

While age spots themselves are harmless, it’s always a good idea to monitor any skin changes. If you notice a spot changing in size, shape, or color, it’s essential to consult a dermatologist.

Most patients find Lumecca to be comfortable. You might feel a light snap, similar to a rubber band, during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal.

Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, brown, gray, or black spots on the skin. They usually occur in areas exposed to the sun and are the result of an excess production of melanin.

While age spots are more common in people over 50, they can appear at younger ages, especially if there’s been a lot of sun exposure. They are an indication of sun damage rather than the natural aging process.

While it’s challenging to prevent age spots entirely, minimizing sun exposure and using sun protection can significantly reduce the risk of developing them.

Lumecca targets the melanin in the age spots, which is at a higher concentration than the surrounding skin. The device emits light absorbed by the melanin, effectively treating the age spot while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

While Lumecca significantly reduces the appearance of age spots, the results can vary based on the individual’s skin type and the age and size of the spots. Some spots may require multiple treatments for optimal results.

Some patients might experience redness or slight swelling in the treated areas, but these effects are temporary. The treated age spots might also darken before they begin to fade.

It’s advisable to avoid tanning before your Lumecca treatment. A tan can increase melanin in the skin, making it harder to differentiate between the age spot and surrounding skin, potentially reducing the treatment’s effectiveness.
