At Cryosonic, we offer safe and effective treatments for age spots Removal—those flat, brown patches that often appear on the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.
While they’re completely harmless, many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons, especially if they’re becoming more noticeable with age.
With non-invasive treatments like cryotherapy, we can pinpoint and obliterate the pigmentation that’s responsible for these spots — without causing any harm to the surrounding skin.
The results? But who couldn’t use smoother, clearer skin that appears more even in tone? If you are self-conscious about unsightly age spots Removal, our friendly staff is here to restore you to confidence.
Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are small areas of flat, darkened skin that often develop in areas exposed to the sun—like the face, neck, chest, and hands.
They’re usually light brown, grey or black and tend to appear more as we get older, especially after 40.
But not every brown mark is an age spot. It could also be a mole, freckle, or another type of pigmentation. A good rule of thumb?
Age spots are flat, not raised, and don’t change shape or colour over time. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to have it checked by a professional. At Cryosonic, we’ll take a proper look and give you honest advice before starting any treatment.
Why Do Age Spots Appear, Even If You Use Sunscreen Daily?
This is a question we hear a lot.And yes—even if you apply sunscreen every day (which is great!), age spots can still show up over time.
Why? Because they’re mainly caused by long-term exposure to UV light. It’s not just about getting burnt—every time your skin sees the sun, it triggers melanin production. Over the years, this builds up, and those spots start to surface.
Is It Worth Removing Age Spots Professionally?
Absolutely—if they’re bothering you. While age spots aren’t dangerous, many people feel they make their skin look older or uneven.
Creams and at-home remedies might fade them a little, but professional treatments go deeper and offer more visible, lasting results.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the “miracle” creams and gadgets out there promising to fade age spots overnight. The truth? Most of them don’t live up to the hype.
Here’s what actually works:
At Cryosonic, we focus on treatments backed by science—not trends. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which option suits your skin best, depending on the size, depth, and location of your age spots Removal.
The number of sessions you’ll need really depends on a few things: how dark the spots are, how many you have, and which treatment you go for. For most people, 1 to 3 sessions are enough to see noticeable results.
As for pain—it’s minimal. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild sting or quick snap, like a rubber band flicking the skin.
Cryotherapy may feel cold, while laser can feel a bit warm, but neither should be truly painful. And the good news is, treatments are usually very quick—often done in under 15 minutes.
If you’re worried about sensitivity, we’ll talk you through it during your consultation and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Before your session
We’ll start with a full skin consultation.
We’ll check the spot(s), discuss your goals, and recommend the most effective treatment for your skin type.
If anything looks suspicious, we’ll advise you to get it checked by a GP before going ahead.
During your session
You’ll be made comfortable in our clinic. The treatment itself only takes a few minutes.
Depending on the method, we’ll either use a handheld cryotherapy device or a laser tool to target the spots.
There’s no need for numbing cream for most clients—but we can discuss this if you’re particularly sensitive.
After your session
You might see a little redness or scabbing where the spot was treated—this is completely normal and part of the healing process.
Over the next few days or weeks, the treated area will darken slightly, then flake off or fade away, revealing fresher skin underneath.
We’ll give you full aftercare instructions and check in to make sure everything’s healing as expected. Most people return to normal activities straight away, with no downtime needed.
