A Dermatologist Froze an Age Spot Yesterday. Is This Normal?

Feb 1, 2017

Liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) is used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including keratoses, warts and age spots. It is one of our oldest dermatology treatments. Since this treatment doesn’t target skin pigment specifically, it works by causing a superficial burn from cold.

At What Point Will Hydroquinone Stop Working on Fading Age Spots?

We use both Hydroquinone and Retin A to lighten skin pigment, including sunspots. Typically we recommend using 4% hydroquinone twice a day for no longer than 4 months.

Jan 6, 2017

Depending on the size of the treatment area, the cost is $750 – $1000 and takes about 45 minutes per treatment. Most people only need one to two treatments.
