age spot removal - #12864

Aasha

I am really worried about these age spots that keep popping up on my skin! I noticed a few small dark spots around my cheeks and forehead about a year ago, but now they seem to be getting bigger and multiplying, like they’re on some kind of mission! I did some research on age spot removal options, and honestly, it’s pretty overwhelming. Some people say over-the-counter creams work wonders for age spot removal, while others swear by dermatological treatments like lasers or chemical peels. I went to a dermatologist who suggested an intense pulsed light treatment for age spot removal, but I’m nervous about the pain and possible side effects. The other thing is, will the age spot removal actually last, or do they just come back? I don’t want to waste money on something that might not even work! I'm also trying to make sure I'm taking care of my skin properly; I've been using sunscreen like crazy to prevent more age spots from showing up. Is there a best age spot removal method, or is it just guesswork? Any advice from all you docs would really help! Thanks in advance!
