Age spots removal methods include laser treatment and surgery.
Age spots, also known as seborrheic keratosis, are benign skin tumors originating from the keratin-forming cells of the epidermis, which can appear with aging of the skin, and generally do not affect the patient’s health and do not require treatment. If necessary, it can be treated under the guidance of professional doctors and choose the appropriate treatment.
1. Laser treatment: for thin skin lesions, Q-switched alexandrite pulsed laser and intense pulsed light treatment can be taken; for thicker skin lesions, super-pulsed carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser treatment can be taken.
2. Surgical treatment: scraping can be taken to scrape off the skin lesions; chipping can also be taken to remove the damage from the base level of the skin lesions with surgical blades or sterile blades; if the diagnosis of the skin lesions is unclear and malignant tumors are highly suspected, surgical excision can be carried out.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment according to their condition, so as not to delay their condition.
