Sun spots, age spots, and other forms of sun damage are a common concern for patients throughout Boulder, CO and the surrounding communities. Dr. Becker and our licensed aestheticians specialize in sun spot removal using the Alexandrite 755 laser, one of the most effective laser treatments for brown pigmentation and sun-damaged skin.
The Alexandrite laser (755 nm) is designed to precisely target excess melanin in the skin, making it ideal for sun spot treatment, age spot removal, and brown pigmentation correction. It can safely treat individual spots as well as larger areas of discoloration on the face, chest, back, arms, legs, and hands.
Why Choose the Alexandrite 755 Laser?
The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is highly effective for removing stubborn brown spots that may not respond to other treatments such as BBL (BroadBand Light). This advanced laser technology selectively targets pigment while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
Patients often choose the Alexandrite laser for:
- Sun spot removal on the face
- Age spot treatment on the hands and arms
- Brown pigmentation correction on the chest and back
- Stubborn sun damage that has not improved with BBL treatments
- Fast, precise spot treatments with minimal downtime
What to Expect During Treatment
Our experienced team will begin with a personalized consultation to evaluate your sun damage and discuss your goals. We will create a custom laser treatment plan tailored to your skin type and areas of concern.
On the day of treatment clinical photos are taken to track your progress. Most treatments are completed in 30 minutes or less. The laser delivers quick pulses of energy that typically feel like a brief snap from a warm rubber band. After treatment, the skin may appear warm, pink, or slightly flushed. Brown spots will temporarily darken before naturally flaking away over the next 7-10 days.
Aftercare for Best Results
To protect your skin and optimize healing after Alexandrite laser sun spot treatment:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks.
- Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with
SPF 30 or higher every day. - Keep treated areas moisturized and follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team.
Most patients notice a brighter, more even skin tone as the treated pigmentation fades and the skin heals.
