Age Spots Removal In Ogden, Utah
Age spots are commonly referred to as sun spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines. They are flat brown, tan, black or gray marks that develop when your skin produces more melanin. Age spots are common in people aged 40 to 50 years old. Strong sunlight exposure is one of the primary reasons for this pigmentation in Utah. But it can also occur due to tanning beds, sunburns, aging skin or genetics.
Age spots are more stubborn than freckles and require cosmetic treatments. Royal Aesthetics & Beauty Med Spa offers IPL Photofacial and CO2 Laser to remove this pigmentation. We also provide supportive treatments like RF Microneedling, facials, PRP / PRF, exosome therapy, and red-light therapy to improve skin texture and support your skin healing process.
Our experienced aesthetic physician examines your age spots and also asks about your medical history. We explain the treatment process and create a personalized plan based on your needs. We also provide complimentary consultations to discuss suitable treatments and realistic outcomes at our med spa. You can visit us in Odegn, Utah.

Age Spot Removal On Face and Hands
Age spots are quite common on areas like the face and hands, as they receive more sun exposure. The pigmentation patches make your skin look older or uneven. We treat these age spots with IPL Photofacial and CO2 laser.
IPL works well for widespread pigmentation and uneven tone. In contrast, the CO2 laser targets deeper or more stubborn spots with higher precision. Our physician chooses the most suitable treatment according to your skin type and desired results.
We use an IPL device that emits light and breaks the dark pigment into smaller particles. Your skin may look darker for 3 to 7 days in some cases after this treatment. But then the pigments naturally go away, and you get even skin. At the same time, a CO2 laser emits a tiny beam of energy onto your skin. It removes the pigmented layer of skin, and new cells replace it over time. The CO2 laser also produces collagen and elastin to tighten your skin.
Our board-certified doctor often suggests RF Microneedling to improve skin texture. We can also use the PRP, Exosome Therapy, and Red Light Therapy to speed up the healing process on the face and hands.
Age Spots Removal on Arms and Legs
The age spots can appear on the arms and legs, too. Although they are harmless, if you wear sleeveless shirts or shorts, they can definitely lower your confidence.
Our treatment approach is quite similar to the facial age spot treatment. We use IPL and CO2 laser, but only after assessing your skin type. Our aesthetic physician can also use RF Microneedling, though it’s not the primary solution, but it improves the texture.
These minimally invasive treatments are a better option if you prefer to avoid surgical procedures.
Note: Certain clinics treat age spots with cryotherapy, which involves using extreme cold on the skin. This method may work well in specific conditions. But most of our patients ask us not to use that treatment.
Pain And Comfort During Age Spots Removal
IPL treatment feels like a quick snapping sensation with mild heat and is usually well tolerated without numbing. While the CO2 laser is more intense, we apply a numbing cream to improve comfort during the procedure. Our team also uses cooling methods to keep your skin calm throughout the session.
Downtime And Recovery Period In Treatments
Downtime depends on the treatment used. CO2 laser may cause redness, swelling, and peeling for several days, and full recovery can take one to two weeks. In contrast, IPL photofacial usually has minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Results Timeline
If IPL photofacial is used, the dark spots usually start to fade within one week as the pigment clears naturally. In contrast, CO2 laser results develop more gradually as your skin heals, and full improvement may take several weeks.
Is Laser Age Spot Removal Safe?
Yes, a laser is safe, but it is generally used for lighter skin tones. Because it can cause hyperpigmentation in people with darker skin. Apart from this, temporary redness, swelling, and peeling are common in all people.
Rarely, it can also lead to serious complications like scarring, infection, and acne breakouts. But don’t worry. It happens due to a lack of care after treatment and an inexperienced doctor.
Our med spa team includes experienced physician Dr. Charles Ivester, who performs the procedure carefully. Our aesthetic physician also guides you about the skin care routine after treatment, so you get better results.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Before treatment, we recommend limiting sun exposure, avoiding tanning, and pausing strong skincare products such as retinoids or exfoliating acids. This helps reduce skin sensitivity and improves treatment safety. Our team provides simple pre-care instructions based on your skin type and selected treatment.
Post Treatment Recommendations
After an IPL photofacial, use mild skincare products and apply sunscreen every day to maintain your results. In contrast, a CO2 laser requires more care. It includes keeping the skin hydrated, avoiding harsh products, and following a simple healing routine as advised by us. You should avoid heavy workouts, excessive sweating, and hot environments like saunas as well for the first 24 to 48 hours. However, you can usually resume makeup once the skin starts to settle.
Protecting your skin from the sun is important after treatment, as direct exposure may slow healing and raise the risk of pigmentation changes. We advise applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reducing sun exposure, particularly in the first few weeks.
Important: Our team monitors your skin response closely during and after treatment. If any concern arises, we will adjust your care plan and provide prompt support. We focus on your safety throughout the entire treatment process.
Is It Possible To Remove Age Spots Permanently?
No, because new age spots can form again due to sun exposure and aging. These treatments remove the current age spots only. However, some spots may lighten instead of disappearing completely. Results may vary based on skin type, depth of pigment, and sun exposure. Our focus is on the safe and gradual improvement rather than aggressive removal. You also have to get maintenance treatments if you don’t want them to appear again.
