Quick answer

How are sun spots removed?

Sun spots (solar lentigines) are flat brown or grey marks caused by cumulative UV exposure. They are removed with IPL or pigment lasers such as pico laser, which target melanin so the spots darken, flake off and fade within 1–3 weeks. Most patients need 2–3 sessions, followed by daily sun protection. Your Fitzpatrick skin type guides the settings, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory pigment.

IPL suits many scattered spots and accompanying redness, while pico laser targets individual darker spots more precisely. Your doctor may combine both in one plan.
