Common planning topics

Sun exposure, skin tone, downtime, maintenance, and aftercare

Causes

• Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) light accelerates melanin production. Age spots develop when melanin becomes clumped or produced in high concentrations
• Tanning Beds: Exposure to commercial tanning lamps and beds can also cause age spots
• Aging: As you age, the production of melanin becomes less regulated, leading to age spots

How It Works

1. 1Topical Creams: Products containing hydroquinone, glycolic acid, or retinoids can help fade spots over time
2. 2Cryotherapy: Freezing age spots with liquid nitrogen
3. 3Microdermabrasion: A procedure that sands off the top layers of skin
4. 4Laser Therapy: The xeo® laser gently breaks down melanin and helps rejuvenate skin without invasive procedures

Candidacy and Safety Review

A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.

Laser Pre-Care and Post-Care

• Avoid tanning and tell the clinic about recent sun exposure before laser sessions.
• Use daily SPF and follow product restrictions while treated skin is healing.
• Do not wax, pluck, or thread before hair-removal sessions because the follicle needs to remain available for targeting.
• Report a history of pigment changes, keloids, cold sores, photosensitizing medications, or recent isotretinoin use.
