What is the best treatment for age spots on arms and legs?

Melarase Body Brightening Kit can help reduce pigmentation and spots on the legs and arms. This takes time, but can sometimes be combined with light fractional lasers. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hello and thank you for your question!
I would recommend getting the PICO GenesisTM laser treatment.  PICO GenesisTM is an inclusive approach that can be used for people of all skin types and tones.  This treatment is a great choice for treating different types of hyperpigmentation. This method uses two highly effective wavelengths of laser energy to deliver short and fast pulses to cause an intense, yet non-thermal disruption to shatter the pigmented lesions on the skin’s surface. After this happens, the laser induced shockwave will then allow for remodeling in order to create a brighter, more uniform complexion.
Because of the type of laser used, picosecond, the treatment is very fast and results in little to no downtime. Patients can generally see optimal results in as little as one to two treatments with PICO GenesisTM, but you should consult your medical provider to determine the best treatment plan for your individual case.
Be mindful that with sun exposure, there is always the risk of recurring hyperpigmentation. To avoid this, make sure to properly apply sunscreen whenever you are exposed to the sun.  Again, you should consult a medical provider to decide on the best course of treatment for your specific concerns.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question.  We would suggest a series of IPL treatments four to six weeks apart to effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, preferably, in the fall or winter months.  Be sure to use sunscreen daily.
