Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This can absolultely be treated with the proper eye protection and done by an expert. Age spots need a combination approach to get the best improvement. In our practice, we combine Clear + brilliant, peels, microneedling/PRP, aerolase, and sometimes erbium laser (coollaser) to get the best results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thanks for the question. Yes, age spots can be removed from the eyelid, using a Q-switched Alexandrite laser in most cases. To treat the area, we can pull the lid up from the goggles you will wear to protect your eyes. An additional corneal shield offers extra protection, since you can’t be too careful with the eye area. I recommend you visit with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist  for an in-person assessment and personalized treatment plan. Good luck to you!

Hello Wendy.   Definitely!  We can usually pull the skin up and around the googles to treat the area, but we also use corneal eye shields that go underneath the eyelids and cover the eye.  Either way, it can be done easily and we use q-switched lasers for our age spot removal (see the link below for examples).  Best of luck.

Thanks for your question.  You can have age or sun spots removed from the eyelids, but it is a tricky area.  Be sure to see a board certified dermatologist and make sure the lesion appears to be benign before treating with any kind of laser or procedure.  A q-switch laser with an internal eye shield would probably give you satisfactory results.  Best of luck!
