Can Laser Remove a Raised Age Spot? If So, How Much Will It Cost Me?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Raised age spots can be harmless or cancerous and need to be examined by your derm doc which they can treat right then in most cases.

It is advisable that a raised "Age Spot" be evaluated a board-certified dermatologist to make sure that it is not a skin cancer. In addition, the skin specialist will assist you in figuring out the best way to get rid of the lesions, e.g. biopsy, cryotherapy, laser.
