Treatment Options for Age Spotsat Nuevo Skin Lab
Age spots, sometimes called sun spots or liver spots, are flat areas of darker pigmentation that commonly develop on skin exposed to the sun over time, including the face, hands, chest, shoulders, and arms. At Nuevo Skin Lab, treatment begins with an assessment of the spot or pigmentation concern, your skin characteristics, treatment history, recent sun exposure, and goals. Limelight IPL may be considered for selected sun-related pigment concerns, but not every dark spot is an age spot or appropriate for cosmetic treatment.
What Are Age Spots?

Different pigment concerns can have different causes. A flat sun-related spot may be approached differently from melasma, a mole, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or a changing skin lesion.
Changes People May Notice
- Flat brown or darker spots on sun-exposed areas
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Pigmentation on the face, chest, shoulders, hands, or arms
- Darker spots that become more noticeable over time
- Sun-related changes that affect the appearance of the skin
- Questions about whether a spot may be an age spot or another type of pigmentation concern

Treatment for Selected Age Spot Concerns
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to treat selected benign skin lesions, including some age spots where appropriate. It may be considered depending on the appearance, location, and characteristics of the lesion. Physicians at Nuevo Skin Lab will assess whether cryotherapy may be an appropriate option and explain the expected healing process, potential risks, and whether another treatment approach may be more suitable.
Not every dark spot, pigment condition, or skin tone is suitable for Limelight IPL, cryotherapy, or mesotherapy. Our physicians will explain what each treatment may realistically support and whether another care pathway or medical assessment should be considered.
How We Personalise Your Age Spot Care Plan
The location, colour, pattern, and appearance of visible pigmentation
Whether the concern appears consistent with an age spot or another pigment condition
Your skin type, tone, texture, sensitivity, and tendency toward pigment changes
Current skincare products and active ingredients
Recent sun exposure and daily sun-protection habits
Whether personalised skincare guidance may be appropriate
Your comfort with preparation, recovery, and maintenance
Medical history, medications, and previous pigmentation treatments
Whether aesthetic treatment, medical assessment, skincare guidance, or another option is most appropriate
The goal is not to promise complete or permanent removal of pigmentation. Treatment planning should reflect the nature of the concern, your skin characteristics, and what an aesthetic approach may realistically support.
When Medical Assessment May Be Important
