What is an effective liver spot laser treatment?

February 11, 2010
Asked By:Primetime in California

Hello doctors. My mother, who is 61 years of age has a few age spots/liver spots on her face. There is one, under her eye, about the size of a dime that is really bothering her. I would like to get these removed for her but am not sure what is the best laser for this. Her age spots are light brown to dark brown in color. The size is anywhere from 3mm to nearly a dime size in diameter. There are only 4-8 spots that she wants to get treated. She is also full Asian. Thanks.
