Age spots

Removing age spots with a laser is an effective, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses highly concentrated light to selectively reduce age spots, sun damage and hyperpigmentation on the skin. This precise technology makes it possible to selectively treat pigmentation spots without damaging the surrounding tissue.

The treatment improves skin texture and results in a more even complexion. After a few sessions of just a few minutes each, patients can expect a noticeable lightening of the treated areas. Laser therapy is fast, safe and typically involves minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for anyone seeking younger-looking, clearer skin.

What are age spots?

Age spots (lentigines) are flat, brownish pigment marks that appear mainly on the hands, face and décolleté – wherever the skin has seen a lot of sun over the years. They are harmless, but often perceived as bothersome because they make the skin look uneven and tired.

How do age spots develop?

The main cause is UV light: over the years the skin produces more melanin in sun-exposed areas, which settles in small deposits. From around age 40 this becomes visible; fair skin types and sun worshippers are affected earlier.

What helps against age spots? Our treatments

Creams barely reach the pigment deposits – device-based treatments are what works: in laser pigment spot removal the laser breaks the pigment apart and the body clears it away – a few sessions are usually enough. For flat, larger areas a chemical peel or microneedling supports skin renewal. We will find the right method for your skin in a free consultation in Essen, Dortmund or Düsseldorf.

Frequently asked questions

Can age spots be removed permanently?

Yes – lasered pigment deposits usually do not return in the same spot. Consistent UV protection prevents new spots.

Are age spots dangerous?

No, they are benign. If a spot changes in shape or colour, it should be checked by a doctor – at LASER ÄSTHETIK you are treated under medical supervision.
