Age Spots Removal
Age spots are small, flat dark areas on the skin. They vary in size and usually appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms. Age spots are also called sunspots, liver spots and solar lentigines. Age spots are very common in adults older than 50, but younger people can get them if they spend time in the sun. True age spots don’t need treatment, but they are a sign the skin has received a lot of sun exposure and are an attempt by your skin to protect itself from more sun damage. For cosmetic reasons, they can be lightened or removed.
Treatment options for age spots include Medlite C6 laser treatment and Sandstone Matrix fractional CO2 laser treatment. Both treatment options are very effective and fast. Medlite C6 laser has advantage of no down time and quick recover while Sandstome Matrix fractional CO2 laser has an extra benefit of improvement on skin tones, fine lines and wrinkles by paying the price of longer and harder recovering period.

Matrix fractional CO2 laser is more widely used for skin resurfacing purpose. For someone with deeper pigmentation lesions or someone who is looking for less down time treatment, Medlite C6 is the first choice.
