What is Age & Brown Spot Laser Treatment?

The age and brown spot laser treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted pigmentation caused by sun damage, aging, or genetics. This treatment uses two advanced light technologies—Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Q-Switched lasers (KTP 532 nm or Nd: YAG 1064 nm), to address both surface discoloration and deeper brown spots.

The IPL component gently brightens the skin’s overall tone and texture. It targets redness, uneven color, and mild pigmentation across larger areas of the face, neck, or body. The Q-Switched laser, on the other hand, delivers short bursts of energy to precisely break apart stubborn spots such as freckles, age spots , and deeper pigment patches.

Over time, the body’s natural healing process removes these fragmented pigments, leaving behind skin that looks clearer, smoother, and more evenly toned. The treatment is non-invasive and designed to refresh your skin’s appearance without harsh procedures or long recovery periods.

Who is the Best Candidate for This Treatment?

This treatment is ideal for anyone with visible sun spots, freckles, age spots, or uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure or natural aging. It is especially effective for those with lighter to medium skin tones, as these respond best to the IPL’s light-based energy.

However, people with darker or tanned skin can also benefit. Skilled providers can safely adjust laser settings to protect the skin while still achieving visible improvement. Whether you want to treat your face, hands, chest, or shoulders, this laser combination can help restore a more youthful, even complexion.

What is the Downtime?

Most people experience only mild redness for about one to two days after treatment. It may feel similar to a light sunburn. During the first few days, the treated spots often darken slightly, which is a normal part of the process. These spots will gradually flake off or fade naturally within 3–7 days, revealing fresh, healthy-looking skin underneath. Because downtime is minimal, many patients can return to work, school, or social activities right away.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from the treatment can last for many months and even years, especially if you protect your skin from the sun. Consistent use of sunscreen and wearing protective clothing can help prevent new spots from forming. For long-term maintenance, your provider may recommend follow-up sessions every 6–12 months to keep your skin bright and even. Each session builds upon previous results, helping your complexion stay clear and radiant over time.

Side Effects

Side effects are usually mild and temporary. You may notice redness, slight swelling, or a bronzed appearance for a day or two. These are normal reactions that fade quickly as your skin heals. In rare cases, blistering or temporary changes in skin color may occur, especially if the skin is recently tanned or overexposed to sunlight. Following all pre- and post-care instructions provided by your skincare specialist helps minimize these risks.

When Can I Resume Normal Activities?

One of the best parts of this treatment is how little it interrupts your daily life. Most people can return to work or normal activities the same day or within 24 hours. You may apply gentle skincare and makeup once any redness has calmed. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals.

Boosters

To enhance your laser results, your provider may recommend PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix), or stem cell exosome serums after your treatment. These boosters help calm the skin, reduce redness, and support faster recovery. While stem cell exosomes are still considered cosmetic and investigational, many patients notice they help improve overall glow and hydration. These add-ons are safe and can be customized based on your skin’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see the results?

You’ll begin to notice improvement within one to two weeks. Most brown spots either fade or gently flake off during this time. Skin will continue to look clearer and more even over the following weeks as collagen renewal and pigment correction progress.

Can I treat tanned skin?

It’s best to avoid sun exposure or self-tanning products for at least two weeks before and after your laser session. Treatments are most effective on untanned skin, as tanning can interfere with how light energy interacts with pigment.

Will spots come back?

The treated spots are permanently cleared, but new ones can appear with continued sun exposure or aging. Wearing sunscreen daily and following a consistent skincare routine will help maintain long-lasting results.

Is it painful?

Most people describe the sensation as quick, warm snaps on the skin, similar to a small rubber band flick. The treatment is well-tolerated, and many clinics offer numbing creams or cooling systems to make the session even more comfortable.

Can I wear makeup afterward?

Yes. You can usually apply makeup the next day once any redness or sensitivity has gone down. Make sure to use gentle, non-irritating products and avoid harsh exfoliants for several days.

Does it help redness, too?

Absolutely. In addition to fading brown spots, IPL light energy can also reduce redness and broken capillaries caused by sun damage or rosacea. This dual benefit makes the treatment a great option for improving both tone and texture.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Yes, but with caution. Providers use specialized laser settings and test spots when treating deeper skin tones to ensure safety and effectiveness. A consultation before treatment will help determine the best settings for your unique complexion.

Can I combine this with chemical peels?

Yes. Gentle chemical peels or brightening creams can complement laser treatments and help maintain even skin tone. Your provider may recommend spacing out treatments for the best results and comfort.
