Sunspots or age spots, also known as solar lentigo or senile lentigines are pigmented lesions. Induced by sun damage accumulated over the years, they are well-defined, uniformly coloured areas of brown or greyish pigment. They generally show up on the areas of the body that have had greater sun exposure. For example, the back of the hands, the face, neck and chest areas. Some people also develop more crust thickened pigmented areas known as seborrheic keratosis. Consider laser age spot removal services at The Alchemist Laser Clinic where you can also find skin tag removal Ottawa services.

The lasers allow for the gentle removal of the epidermis and superficial dermis in a controlled and relatively bloodless manner during laser age spot removal. The experts at The Alchemist Laser Clinic can also guide you about skin tag removal Ottawa services if you’re interested.

For some this may be a suitable way forward but generally this is a much longer treatment course as compared to laser age spot removal.
