Treatment results and Before and after pictures

Age spot treatments at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre are highly effective and designed to significantly reduce the visibility of age spots, improving your skin’s overall appearance.

Following the age spot treatments with Laser, you can expect your skin to lighten gradually over several weeks, with age spots fading and becoming less noticeable.
Other aging signs will also improve, such as wrinkles and fine lines.

Bear in mind that results vary for each individual, and the success of the treatment depends on factors such as the severity and size of the age spots, the specific treatment used, and your skin’s response to treatment. Some individuals may notice a considerable difference after just one session, while others may require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.

Preparation and Aftercare Timeline

What are Age Spots?

Age spots, also known as liver spots, are small, flat dark areas on the skin.

They vary in size and typically appear on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.
Age spots are common in adults over 50, but younger people can get them, especially if they spend much time in the sun.

What Causes Age Spots In Edmonton?

Age spots are primarily caused by long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays or artificial UV light sources like tanning lamps. The pigment in the upper layer of skin (melanin) increases with UV exposure, causing areas of the skin to darken.

In addition, we offer Microneedling, a technique that uses tiny needles to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, further helping to diminish age spots.
Our Hydrafacial treatments provide a multi-step process that cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with intensive serums to treat age spots.

Age spots Frequently Asked Questions

Are the treatments painful?

Most patients report little to no discomfort during age-spot treatments.

Procedures like the Fraxel Dual Laser treatment, PRP, and mesotherapy involve some minor sensations – some patients liken it to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin.
With microneedling and chemical peels, you might experience a slight tingling or a warm sensation. To ensure maximum comfort, we can use a topical numbing cream before the procedure.
After the treatment, you might notice some redness and sensitivity, similar to mild sunburn, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
It’s our priority at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre to ensure that all treatments are as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed to diminish age spots effectively can vary greatly from person to person, as it depends on multiple factors, including the severity and size of the age spots, the chosen treatment method, and the individual’s unique skin characteristics.

For some people, noticeable improvements may be seen after just one session, while others may require several treatments to achieve the desired results.
During your consultation at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, our skilled clinicians will assess your skin and provide an individualized treatment plan that outlines the anticipated number of sessions.

Are there any side effects?

All procedures have the potential for some side effects, but those associated with age spot treatments are typically mild and temporary.

Common side effects can include redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area, which usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
For treatments like Fraxel Dual Laser and chemical peels, there may also be some temporary darkening of the age spots before they lighten and fade away.

How long does it take to see results from age spot treatments?

While the timeline can vary depending on the type of treatment and the individual’s skin, most clients start seeing a noticeable reduction in their age spots within a few weeks following the treatment. Treatments such as the Fraxel Dual Laser, PRP, mesotherapy, and chemical peels promote skin regeneration and lightening Skin Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Edmonton and St. Albert, which takes some time to show visible results. It’s important to remember that multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.

Are age spot treatments suitable for all skin types?

Most age spot treatments are safe and effective for all skin types. However, individual suitability can depend on the client’s skin condition, sensitivity, and specific skin concerns. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we conduct a comprehensive skin assessment before any treatment to determine the best and safest treatment approach for each client. We also tailor our treatments to suit clients’ unique needs and skin types.

Is the treatment covered by Insurance?

Age spot treatments are typically considered cosmetic procedures and are not usually covered by health insurance.

At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we believe in transparent pricing and will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of treatment costs during your consultation.
We’re committed to helping you understand all aspects of your treatment, including financial considerations.
