I am in my late 50s and have significant sun damage/age spots on my face. Would micro needling be an effective treatment to minimize these? If not, treatment(s) should I consider?

Answer: Microneedling for Pigment Microneedling may help with minor pigmentation irregularities; however you could be better suited for another treatment designed to lift pigment. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), Excel V Laser and certain chemical peels are more geared towards lightening pigment. You also need to ensure your home care is both corrective and protective. Please seek out a Board Certified Dermatologist to get a consult and customized treatment plan.

Answer: Microneedling for Age and sun spots Yes,microneedling in combination with kojic acid or hydroquinone will be effectivein reducing the age spots. However I would recommend additionaltreatments with a light-based device as well. Depending on your skincolor and the provider, I would recommend IPL, Erbium YAG or other similartreatment options. You will likely need 1-2 light-based treatments with afew microneedling treatments.
