Sun and Age Spots

Xeo Genesis Skin Therapy is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably remove sun and age spots from your face, chest, arms, and hands, without gel or anesthetic cream. The signs of sun damage will flake off after one or three treatments, leaving clear, younger looking skin.

The Xeo Genesis Difference
Comfort. We have created a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective at treating pigment at a much more comfortable energy level. There is no need to apply anesthetic gel or cream beforehand, and you can realize superior results in just one or three treatments.

What areas can be treated?
Virtually any part of your body with sun and age spots or freckles can be safely treated. The face, chest, shoulders, and arms are the most popular areas for treatment because they have typically had the most sun exposure. Both discrete spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond well to treatment.

What do treatments feel like?
When the handpiece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable.
When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

How long will the treatment take?
The actual treatment will only take a few minutes. And, since there is no need to apply gel or any topical anesthetic, your total appointment time can easily fit into your lunch hour.

How many treatments will I need?
Usually, one to three treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results. This depends a lot on the size and darkness of the sun and age spots being treated. Most of the time, the treated spots will show significant improvement after three weeks. However, some people notice the optimal effect six weeks later.

What happens after the treatment and are there any side effects?
Rarely, blistering or scabbing can occur. If this happens, do not scratch open the area. Keep the area clean and apply an over the counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. When treated correctly, the area will usually heal without scarring. Any dark hair in the area of treatment may be reduced or removed as a result of the treatment. If this is of concern, notify your laser specialist before treatment and that area will be avoided. Once the skin heals, it may be especially sensitive to the sun for up to one month. During the healing process, the skin may become lighter or darker in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary but may be permanent. Skin infection or scarring is also possible, although rare, whenever a skin procedure is performed. Tylenol can help with any post therapy discomfort. Many people have no discomfort following the procedure. You can go about your normal activities right away after treatment. It is important to wear a sunscreen on any skin exposed to the sun to minimize the chance of sunburn/sun damage. You may apply makeup immediately after treatment if you desire.

Will the spots reappear over time?
Sun spots that were removed will not reappear over time. Treatment cannot prevent new sun and age spots from occurring. The liberal use of sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage is your only defense. Other pigmented lesions, birthmarks and moles do not respond to our treatment. Dermatologist or plastic surgeon can assist you with these concerns.

Laser is not recommended for people who have had skin cancer, who are currently pregnant, or people who use medications that make their skin highly sensitive
to light.
