Answer: Age spot treatment with liquid nitrogen It looks like an appropriate treatment was performed. This liquid nitrogen type of treatment can take a few weeks to fade.In my practice I use an intense pulse light or fraxel treatment for age and brown spots. There are many different brands of intense post light treatments that are effective. In particular, I use a Cutera and a viora platform, as well as a 1550 and 1927. Best of luck, and thanks for the question.

Answer: Liquid nitrogen for age spots Your pictures appear to be consistent with healing after liquid nitrogen. Some areas appear to be developing blisters. Your skin may be sensitive, or it may have been a strong freeze. Be sure to clean the area 1-2 times daily with soap and water, apply some ointment like Aquaphor, Vaseline, or Neosporin (as long as you don't have allergies to neosporin), and avoid the sun for the best results! It can take about two weeks to heal fully. If you have any concerns, please visit or call the doctor that performed the liquid nitrogen.

Answer: Liquid nitrogen healing Sometimes in response to thermal injury (hot or cold), the skin can react in this way. For any of those spots where the skin has broken down, I would recommend applying a topical ointment such as Bacitracin or Aquaphor until the skin has healed over. This may take a week or so. At that time, these areas will assume a more pink quality. To speed the resolution of the pink color, a topical steroid (hydrocortisone vs. triamcinolone) can help. I would recommend following up with your dermatologist so he or she can monitor the wound healing and address any prolonged pigmentation problems, should they occur. Good luck!

Answer: Age spots Liquid nitrogen is an option which works by damaging the top layer of skin. This causes the skin to peel off and will require a minimum of 1-2 weeks to heal and time for the color to resolve. If the color persists a laser which targets dark color such as a q switched yag or picosecond laser can remove the residual spots.
