Birthmarks, Sun and Age Spots

Age Spots and Brown Spots in Cincinnati, OH at Anderson Cosmetic and Vein Institute

Using the MultiLight PhotoDerm VL/PL, we offer experienced age spot removal in Cincinnati, as well as removal of sun spots, birthmarks, liver spots, and freckles.

The MultiLight is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system that produces a variety of wavelengths of light for treating the skin. By using wavelengths that are absorbed by the pigment of the undesired spot, the MultiLight breaks the pigment into smaller pieces. Some pieces are absorbed by the body and some move to the surface of the skin. This makes the spot look darker for 5 to 14 days, until the skin flakes off naturally. The spot will continue to fade for up to 4 to 8 weeks, and can be retreated. More than one treatment may be needed. The IPL feels like a rubber band snap.

Faces and hands are the most popular treatment sites, but any area of the body can be treated. The most commonly treated birthmarks are café-au-lait, which are brownish, and port wine stains, which are red or pink, composed of veins near the surface, and can be flat or thick. We offer years of experience for age spot removal in Cincinnati.

Large, raised, or unusual pigmented spots should be checked by a dermatologist prior to treatment. This includes those with irregular coloring, texture, or shape.

Treatment ranges in cost from $150 to $350 per session.
