I am 51 with fair skin blue eyes. Although I haven't tanned for about 15 years, I spent plenty of my youth tanning, including sun beds for a while. What is the most cost effective procedure to remove these horrible spots? I have tried some at home tca peels, which improve appearance for a week or so. But then skin went back to what it looked like before. tried IPL on hands a few years ago. It did nothing. I also once tried hydroquinone I bought online, a huge tub, that didn't do anything either

Answer: Age Spots Hello and thank you for your question and photos. The lasers that are available to treat this type of sun damage/exposure will show significant improvement if used properly. I would recommend consulting with a board certified professional who has had success in treating age spots/sun damage, it is as important in finding the right provider as it is having the proper laser. We offer a combination of laser treatment and then also may follow up with some filler in the hands to better accentuate the youthful appearance post laser. Also, based on the consultation, the plan may be to follow with a Melanage Peel, which will enhance the lightening and brightening of your skin.. Your fair skin and blue eyes should even allow for a better response to the lasers! We always recommend our Skin Medica line and sunscreen to assure the best outcome while the progressive treatment is in session. There are many great options available to you! I hope this information helps you and best of luck!

Answer: BBL and Nano Peel Hi Cat0107! I have a great solution for you. You are totally right when you say that you are paying for the sun that you got in you younger years. Age spot start deeper in you skin and they will continue to show up unless you stop the process. It very important that you remember that you remember two important things: 1.- That you will get improvement but you won't really get rid of them. 2.- That treatment requires multiple session. The technology has improve and now we count with BBL (broad band light) that is a significant improvement in terms of safety and efficacy. I also like to add a laser nano peel to make the result even better.
