Solar Lentigines
Sun spots cleared, with the surrounding skin untouched.
Solar lentigines — sun spots or age spots — are flat, well-defined brown macules on chronically sun-exposed skin: face, hands, chest and shoulders. They reflect accumulated ultraviolet damage over decades.

- Results
- Q-switched & picosecond laser
- Cryotherapy

- Dermatoscopic screening
Diagnosed first, treated second.
Each spot is examined before it is treated, because early melanoma can imitate a benign lentigo. Once confirmed, targeted laser or cryotherapy removes the pigment cleanly in one or two sessions.

How the treatment works
A sequence, not a single appointment — each step informs the next.
- 01
Dermatoscopy
Every lesion is examined to exclude pigmented malignancy before treatment.
- 02
Modality choice
Pigment laser, cryotherapy or peel selected by site, size and skin type.
- 03
Treatment
Energy is delivered to the pigment alone, leaving surrounding skin intact.
- 04
Prevention
Photoprotection and antioxidant care prevent the next generation of spots.
Results measured, not promised.
