Tons of age spots on legs.

Question

I was wondering what the best result treatment would be for many age spots on legs. I would use wart freeze but there's so many. Have any of you seen top notch result treatments, cost not an issue.

The treatment of age spots begins with rapid exfoliation and 
correction of pigmentation. Benign sun damage responds well to Melarase 
AM and Melarase PM creams + Melapads Daily Exfoliating Pads. Melapads 
can gently replace chemical peels without the requisite peeling. I would
 begin with Melarase creams and Melapads and follow up for IPL or BBL 
(or similar laser) to help eliminate the remaining stubborn spots.

I would not recommend using an at home wart freeze kit on age spots. You should first see a Board Certified Dermatologist for a skin check to ensure none of the spots in question are malignant. Your doctor can then recommend a treatment plan that may consist of topicals, laser, IPL or a combination of therapies.

I would treat these sun spots with the Candela Alex Trivantage Laser.  It is extremely effective at treating even the deepest brown spots anywhere on the body.  Please consult an expert in lasers. Best, Dr. Green

Rick Balharry, MD · Answer

some age spots, particularly on the legs, are almost impossible to remove without leaving something in their place - either increasing the dark spot or leaving a white spot. If the spots are superficial pigment, they will respond nicely to IPL or laser. Deeper ones I would be hesitant to treat. You could try a topical retinoid.
