Quick answer · What is Age Spot Removal?
Age spot removal treats brown spots that appear with sun exposure and age, including flat solar lentigines and raised seborrhoeic keratoses. Flat spots are usually treated with a pico or Q-switched laser that breaks up pigment, while raised spots are removed with a CO2 laser. A session typically takes 10–30 minutes. Healing involves small scabs for about 5–10 days, and most spots clear after 1–3 sessions.

How it works
The right laser for flat and raised spots
Not every age spot is the same. Flat brown spots respond to pigment lasers, whose short pulses break melanin into fine particles the skin clears. Raised, rough spots are thickened surface skin rather than just pigment, so a CO2 laser gently vaporises them layer by layer.
-
Assessment
Your doctor examines each spot, rules out anything that needs a biopsy, and decides between a pigment laser and CO2 removal.
-
Treatment
After numbing, the chosen laser is applied spot by spot. Flat spots feel like quick snaps; raised spots are smoothed away.
-
Healing
Tiny crusts form and fall off within about one to two weeks, revealing lighter skin that continues to even out.
Before & after
Lighter spots, a more even complexion
Most patients notice treated spots are much lighter or gone once the crusts fall off, giving a fresher, more even look. Sun protection helps prevent new spots.

FAQ
Age Spot Removal questions we hear every day
Does age spot removal hurt?
Numbing cream is applied first, so most patients feel only brief snapping or warmth. Larger raised spots may be numbed with a small local injection.
How many sessions do age spots need?
Many flat spots fade in one to three sessions four to six weeks apart, while raised spots are often removed in a single visit. Your doctor will give you a plan at consultation.
What is the downtime?
Small crusts usually form and fall off within 5–10 days. Keep them moist with the ointment provided and avoid picking.
What is the difference between age spots and sun spots?
They overlap: both are linked to sun exposure, but age spots can also be raised and rough. Our sun spot removal page covers flat UV spots in more detail.
Can age spots come back?
Treated spots usually stay lighter, but new ones can form with continued sun exposure and age. Daily sunscreen helps maintain results.
How much does age spot removal cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the number, size and type of spots. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our pico, toning and acne price list.
