Age Spot Removal

Age spots, also known as liver spots, are brown spots with nothing to do with the liver. Medical professionals believe they’re related to sun exposure, which is why they often occur in addition to wrinkling and other signs of aging, such as dark spots, blotchy appearance of the skin, and red blemishes. While they most commonly begin appearing on the skin of women in their mid-thirties, forties, and into their fifties, brown spots are becoming more common in the younger population.

Age spots, though not harmful to your health, can significantly impact how you feel about your appearance. They may affect your self-esteem when combined with other signs of aging, such as wrinkles or less firm skin. At Impressions Face + Body, our objective is to simplify the process of finding a comprehensive treatment that addresses all of your skin concerns simultaneously.

At Impressions Face + Body, we understand that every skin is unique. That’s why we offer a spectrum of age spot removal treatments tailored to meet the individual needs and lifestyles of our clients in Chicago, IL. To ensure you receive the most effective solution, a board-certified plastic surgeon will evaluate your skin and recommend the optimal approach, considering factors like your age and skin type.

Topical Treatments Our topical solutions involve prescription-grade ingredients such as hydroquinone, retinoids, and mild steroids, meticulously formulated to fade age spots over time. For those preferring a less intensive regimen, we can also guide you to over-the-counter creams designed to inhibit melanin production and enhance skin brightness.

Chemical Peels We customize chemical peels to target your specific concerns, including age spots. These peels vary in strength and composition, such as:

Peels work by exfoliating the skin, dispersing melanin, and boosting collagen production, leading to an improved skin texture and a more even tone as the skin rejuvenates.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion offers a gentle, non-invasive solution to age spots. This technique exfoliates the skin's surface to uncover a fresher, more even-toned layer beneath. Ideal for individuals with mild age spots or sensitive skin, microdermabrasion is well-tolerated and involves minimal downtime.

Laser Therapy

For those seeking swift and precise results, our laser therapy utilizes harmless light and thermal energy to dissolve melanin clusters. Our state-of-the-art lasers ensure an exceptional experience with reduced recovery time. Dr. Dayan and our team calibrate the laser's intensity and depth to cater to your skin’s specific needs, whether you’re addressing texture, tone, or the depth of age spots.
