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.

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!
Thank you for the question. We usually treat the spot on your eyelid with Microneedling and PRP. Good luck LOVA-Lake Oswego Vein and Aesthetic

I can only answer based upon POSSIBILITY and not PROBABILITY- oestrogen pills and formulations are notorious in contributing, but not causing melasma. Other contraceptive methods such as the POP and depo formulations have a 10 % chance of worsening patients who are predisposed to melasma. On t...
Thanks for your question. The xray energy is different from the wavelength generated by a laser, and they should not affect each other in any way. I haven't seen any reports of a problem with dental xrays after any kind of laser treatment, so you should be fine. I hope you have...
While photorejuvenation likely poses no risk to your baby, your hormone levels shift dramatically during pregnancy and could predispose you to hyperpigmentation and worsening of melasma. I am an OB and recommend that all of my pregnant patients avoid such services until 6 weeks...
Laser resurfacing and radiofrequency tightening are a beautiful combination. The RF is safe in your neck, and the thyroid area can be easily avoided. To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, f...
I will sit on the fence for this one- it COULD be early phyma. The most accurate way to diagnose this (without taking a biopsy) is to compare photos from years ago. If pores and nose has a definite increase in size- this is an objective measurement of the problem. IF this is mild or early p...
For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...
