Age Spots / Red Spots Treatment
Reveal a Clear, Radiant Complexion
At Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center, we understand that age spots and red spots (including sun spots and broken capillaries) can impact your skin’s overall appearance and your self-confidence. Our advanced treatment techniques are designed to gently and effectively reduce pigmentation irregularities, leaving you with smoother, more even-toned skin.
How We Treat Age Spots & Red Spots
Advanced Laser & Light-Based Therapies
Our approach to treating age and red spots relies on state-of-the-art laser and light-based technologies. These methods are carefully selected to target and break down excess pigmentation without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Enlighten III-QS picosecond Nd:Yag/532nm & IPL Technology:
- How It Works: Specific wavelengths penetrate the skin to target pigmented cells. The laser energy is absorbed by the excess melanin in age spots or the blood vessels in red spots, causing these discolorations to break apart.
- Benefits: This method minimizes damage to surrounding skin, reduces the number of required sessions, and helps restore a more even tone.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
- How It Works: A fractional laser (such as the Sciton Erbium or Fraxel) is used to create microscopic columns of treated tissue. The controlled injury stimulates collagen production and the formation of new, healthy skin cells.
- Benefits: Ideal for reducing deeper pigmentation issues, scars, and uneven skin texture. Over time, this encourages a smoother, more consistent appearance.
Customized Treatment Plans
Each patient’s skin is unique, which is why we begin with a personalized consultation. Our experts assess your skin type, the extent of pigmentation, and your overall aesthetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan. This may involve:
- A single laser treatment session for minor spots.
- A series of sessions for more extensive pigmentation issues.
- Combination therapies (e.g., laser treatment followed by topical skincare regimens) to maximize outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are age spots and red spots, and why do they appear?
Age spots (sun spots) and red spots (broken capillaries) are common skin discolorations caused by excess melanin or visible blood vessels. They often develop due to sun exposure, aging, or skin sensitivity—and can make your complexion look uneven and dull.
How does laser and light-based treatment work to reduce these spots?
Advanced laser and light-based therapies (like Nd:YAG, IPL, and picosecond lasers) target pigmented cells or visible blood vessels. These treatments gently break down discoloration without harming surrounding skin, promoting a clearer and more radiant tone.
Are there different treatment options available?
Yes. Treatment plans are customized based on your skin type and pigmentation concerns. Options include single-session laser treatments, multiple sessions, or a combination of laser therapy plus topical skincare for enhanced results
What can I expect during recovery and aftercare?
You may experience mild redness or skin sensitivity immediately after treatment, which usually subsides in a few hours to days. Over time—especially with a series of treatments—age and red spots gradually fade, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
How long do the results last, and how can I maintain a glowing, even complexion?
With proper follow-up and skincare, you can enjoy long-term benefits, including more uniform skin tone and a radiant complexion. Protection from sun exposure and personalized aftercare enhance and extend the treatment’s effectiveness
