Age Spots

The term "pigment spots" clinically refers to a relatively heterogeneous group of skin lesions that exhibit a distinct deviation from normal skin tone. Pigment spots often occur due to age, which is why they are also called age spots.

In principle, all pigment spots induced by melanin are suitable for laser treatment. Pigmentations that are free of melanin, such as hemosiderin deposits, are either significantly more difficult or impossible to treat at our medical and laser center in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden.

Superficial lentigines benignae (including so-called age spots) are particularly well-suited for IPL technology and can often be completely removed in just one session. Ephelides (freckles), chloasma (hormone-induced hyperpigmentation), and other melanin-related skin lesions, especially when superficial, respond well to laser treatment.

Pigment spots can be removed with laser treatments. There are various types of laser treatments that can be used depending on the type and extent of the pigmentation. Laser treatment can reduce or completely remove pigmentation by selectively destroying the melanin in the spots. However, it is important to consult an experienced and qualified professional to minimize potential risks and side effects.
