Your appointment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of spots and the areas being treated.
The results of our Spot Remover treatment are long-lasting, with many of our patients seeing a significant reduction in age and brown spots for several months to years. However, factors such as sun exposure and aging can cause new spots to form over time. To maintain results, it’s important to protect your skin with sunscreen and follow a good skincare routine! Touch-up treatments may be needed occasionally to keep your skin looking its best.
Our Spot Remover treatment can cause some mild discomfort, but it is highly effective. While others may advertise similar treatments as pain-free, this is often due to turning down the energy settings, which can require more sessions and deliver less noticeable results. We prioritize delivering powerful and lasting results in fewer treatments by using optimal energy levels, which may cause slight discomfort but ensure better outcomes. Any discomfort is typically brief, and most of our patients find it manageable. We can always add Pronox to any treatment to increase your level of comfort.
To prepare for this treatment, avoid using harsh exfoliants, scrubs, or retinoids a week before your treatment to prevent skin irritation. It’s important to stay out of the sun, avoid spray tans and wear sunscreen to protect your skin for at least two weeks leading up to your treatment. Additionally, avoid waxing, shaving, or using any hair removal treatments on the area for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. Keeping your skin well-hydrated with a good moisturizer will also help ensure optimal results.
Nope! You can resume your normal activities after your treatment as well as apply any makeup. You may experience some temporary redness, slight swelling, or darkening of the treated spots for a few days. These effects typically subside within three to seven days as your skin heals. During this time, it’s important to avoid sun exposure.
Yes! You should be using sunscreen daily, whether you have treated your face or not. We recommend either the Skin Genius Protect 44 or Drenched Protect 40.
