Age spots, also known as liver spots, are an extremely common condition tending to affect people over the age of 40-50. They can be effectively treated here at Derma Revive Skin Clinic. We have a variety of treatment options.
Age spots come in multiple sizes and colours (usually brown-black) and are mostly found on skin areas exposed to the sun. They are a form of pigmented lesions and are also known as solar lentigines and lentigo senilis.
Although they are called age spots by name, the age spots will have most probably stemmed from sun damage.
The size of the age spots will vary from small freckles up to 2 cm or more in diameter. They may join together in places. Age spots are harmless, and the main reason people want them removed is cosmetic.
Patients come to Derma Revive Skin Clinic for age spot treatment because of the impact on their self-confidence and overall appearance. The fact of the matter is that the longer you live, the more you will get age spots and other age-related lesions, like skin tags, as you may have experienced. We have a commitment to providing personalised and effective age spot treatments in London.

We offer a range of treatment options, including the Harmony XL PRO and iPixel Laser, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. We treat age spots to restore your skin’s natural beauty and health.
Age spots are one of those conditions that can be treated by various methods with varying degrees of success. Some treatments will fade the age spots with each treatment session, whilst other methods will completely remove the blemish. A consultation will help decide your case’s best course of action.
Although more than one treatment session may be required, treating age spots is regarded as a ‘quick win’ in aesthetic medicine and reducing age spots is a very effective way to present a younger appearance.
As with many skin conditions, the exact causes are not 100% fully understood. The evidence points towards Melanocytes (melanin-producing cells) thought to be damaged by the sun into the overproduction of melanin. This excess melanin then binds together to form clumps, forming what we know as an age spot.
There are a few other factors that probably play a part as to whether or not you will suffer from age spots. One is genetic predisposition; another is age-related skin structure changes. The amount of sun exposure is most likely to be the main factor.
If you have age spots, book a consultation to see how we can help. If you are in doubt, then you should get the lesion checked out by a professional to rule out the prospect of something more serious.
The process of having your age spots removed begins with a detailed consultation. During this session, an expert will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and answer any questions you may have. The visit is for us to listen, understand what you want to achieve, determine the most effective treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.
Based on the consultation findings, we will develop a customised treatment plan tailored specifically to your skin type and the severity of your age spots. Our clinic offers a variety of advanced treatment options. The luxury of choice allows us to select the most appropriate method for achieving optimal results.
Our age spot treatments are performed using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure maximum effectiveness with minimal discomfort. Depending on the chosen treatment, sessions can vary in duration, but we always aim to make the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible for our patients.
After the treatment, we provide comprehensive post-treatment care instructions to help maximise the results and minimise any potential side effects. Our team is dedicated to supporting you throughout your recovery process, ensuring a smooth and successful healing period.
The duration of age spot treatment at Derma Revive Skin Clinic can vary depending on the chosen method and the age spot’s size and number. Typically, treatments can range from a few minutes to an hour per session. We will provide you with an estimated treatment time during your consultation.
Our aim is that clients experience minimal discomfort during age spot treatment. Some treatments may involve a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but we take all necessary measures to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
The number of sessions required for age spot treatment varies based on the size, depth, and number of spots and the treatment method used. On average, patients may need between 1 and 3 sessions to achieve the desired results. We will give you a more precise estimate during your consultation.
Side effects from age spot treatments are generally mild and temporary. They can include redness, swelling, and slight discomfort at the treatment site. These symptoms typically subside within a few days post-treatment. Our team will discuss all potential side effects and how to manage them during your consultation.
