Age spots are a common, non-life threatening skin condition. The appearance of these brown spots can often leave individuals feeling self conscious. As we age, our skin changes with the rest of our body, and you may find that more age spots are popping up where there were none just a few years prior.

At Laser Aesthetic, we use the Cutera Excel V laser which uses two different laser wavelengths in order to correct brown spots.* The laser targets discolored skin patches that range anywhere from red and purple to blue and brown. Excel V works efficiently in order to only target the skin discoloration in question, while not affecting the surrounding healthy skin.* The Excel V laser treats up to 20 different lesions on every skin type — and the treatment time can be done during your lunch break. Depending on the extent of your pigmentation, we also offer microdermabrasion and HydraFacial treatments. Both options remove the topmost layer of your skin cells to promote healthier, new cell production.* To find out which treatment(s) will work best for you, schedule a free consultation.
