As we age, many of us start to notice small, dark spots appearing on our skin, especially on areas like the face and hands. These are known as age spots, and while they’re harmless, they can impact our confidence and make us look older than we are.
If you’re looking for a way to reduce these spots, ARIA MediSpa in Sterling, Virginia, offers laser treatments for age spots. Our team of medical aestheticians combines technology with personalized care to clear up your skin.
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots, also called sunspots or liver spots, develop over time from prolonged exposure to the sun and the natural aging process. They occur when your skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its color. They generally aren’t painful or dangerous, but you may still want treatment to help your skin glow again.
How Laser Treatments Work
At ARIA MediSpa, we use advanced laser technology to break down the excess pigmentation causing age spots. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates your skin and is then absorbed by the melanin. This process breaks down the pigment, causing the age spots to fade over time.
Laser treatments are precise, allowing our experienced medical aestheticians to treat the spots but leave the surrounding skin untouched. We can address age spots on your face, décolleté, hands, or your full body, and we take great care to make sure you’re happy with your results.
What to Expect During Treatment
During the treatment, you’ll feel a brief sensation of warmth as the laser works on the age spots. The procedure is quick, and you should be able to return to your normal activities right afterward. Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice the age spots gradually fading, revealing clearer skin.
