Laser age spot treatment Bristol

Laser age spot treatment in Bristol uses specialised cosmetic lasers to target and break down dark pigmentation known as age spots or sun spots. These blemishes typically form due to years of sun exposure. With precise laser energy, we reduce or remove these pigmented spots, helping your skin look more even and radiant.

• Age spots & sun spots: Flat, brown marks caused by UV exposure, common on the face, hands, neck and arms. Also called solar lentigines.
• Freckles: Smaller and often lighter brown, freckles may darken with sun but can fade in winter.
• Moles: Raised or flat coloured marks some are benign, but changes should always be checked by a doctor.

Unlike freckles and moles, age and sun spots usually come from prolonged sun exposure and are a cosmetic concern rather than a health issue.

Most age spots are harmless and simply cosmetic. However, some serious skin conditions like melanoma can look similar, so any rapidly changing, irregular or very dark spot should be examined by your GP before treatment.

Over-the-counter creams, serums and makeup can temporarily hide dark spots, but they rarely remove them. Laser age spot treatment and IPL deliver more reliable and lasting results for unwanted pigmentation.

Yes modern lasers and IPL are designed to target melanin (pigment cells) safely without harming surrounding skin. As with all procedures, proper aftercare is important to reduce infection risk and support healing.

• Visibly reduces brown sun spots and age spots
• Helps restore more even skin tone

Laser age spot removal starts from £90 per session in Bristol, with pricing covering up to 10 spots. Additional fees may apply for larger or more numerous lesions.

Laser and sun spot removal can be performed on almost any skin area, including the face, hands, arms, chest and legs.

Before treatment, protective eyewear is provided. The laser delivers rapid light pulses that feel like a flicking or snapping sensation. Some areas may be more sensitive, but discomfort is usually mild. After the session, treated spots may form a temporary scab as they heal.

Often one laser session can permanently remove age spots, though some cases may need a follow-up visit after a few weeks for optimal results.

While treated age spots generally do not return, new sun spots can appear over time if the skin is repeatedly exposed to UV light without good protection. Using high-factor sunscreen helps prevent future pigmentation.

Laser sun spot removal is safe, but temporary redness, slight tenderness or changes in skin tone can occur. Scarring is rare. It’s especially important to follow post-treatment care advice.

Best results come from leaving the treated area undisturbed until healing completes. Avoid soaking or heavy friction; gentle moisturiser and sunscreen help protect new skin.
