How Do Laser Skin Treatments Remove Sun/Age Spots?
Sun or age spot lesions are eliminated when the laser seeks the color of the skin lesion causing that area specifically to get heated. With skin lesions the laser effectively removes the upper 2-4 layers of the skin allowing for new skin growth thus removing the discoloration.
Lasers can be programmed to treat only the surface tissue like sebaceous keratosis or to go deeper into the skin layers to treat blood vessels, it does not go deep enough to cause scarring or skin damage. This diversity of settings makes laser technology very effective for a variety of skin treatments. Sun Spots and age spots will disappear making your skin even toned and fabulous.
The Therma-Lo radio frequency device is used to remove benign skin lesions such as skin tags, milia (white deposits under the skin) and sebaceous keratosis. This device uses heat to safely remove the unwanted skin lesions.
