I have had some success with wart remover - you will have a red spot for a couple of days after a few treatments, but it can sometimes work.
I have had VERY good results with ReAura Laser, no longer available but Tria has about the same efficacy and it is less expensive and available. |

| I apply a cheap vit C serum on my arms and hands, and use SS on those areas as well. I've done at home glycolic peels from MUAC to help fade an old tan which worked too. |

I have the Illuminage laser and was wondering do you think it will work on sunspots? How often did you apply the laser? Did you focus only on the spots or did you do whole areas of your legs? |

| When you all did laser, what was the cost through your dermatologist? As I have only a couple, they are quite noticeable. I am hoping this is not costly. |

Both the Tria and Illuminage can be purchased online for home use. Illuminage was $595 at Nordstrom. |

| I've had many removed at the derm office with cryotherapy. Each visit cost me around $70, I'm in Australia, but he will zap as many as I point out to him for that price. Worth every cent. |

| Laser should be the most direct and efficient way |

Home laser is brilliant for this, and well priced compared to professional treatments if that is a concern.
I have sometimes had success using wart remover directly to the spot. It can take a few applications and you will have a red spot for a few days until it heals but this does work.

| Does home laser compare to the lasers used at derm's offices? I did try TCA a couple times and that did nothing for areas on body. I am surprised by how stubborn these couple spots are, I expected them to peel off given how small and superficial they appear. |

| They can be removed with the same stuff an ordinary Dr uses to remove small moles: liquid nitrogen. Look online for examples. My General Physician (what's the US equivalent?) is doing one on my face soon. She says I just need to hide away for a couple of days and then use a bit of concealer for a week or so. |

Reporting back: the Liquid Nitrogen did a good job totally removing some lesions on my body (various types of age-spot according to my Dr), but only faded the facial age-spot from medium brown to tan. I'll need another session.
I'd earlier tried needling the facial age-spot (several times), as that seemed to work according to some permanent cosmetics people, but it didn't remove it for me. Thus the Liquid Nitrogen. |

| Why don't you try DIY products. It's very effective. Only egg and honey |

Make daily sunscreen a must-do in your regime. No point trying all the other things if you aren't protecting your skin. Look for Tinosorb S/M and Mexoryl. Skinceuticals and Avene spf are good choices.
Nia24 is supposed to be good for hyperpigmentation. |

Present sun worshiper!
As I noted in a different thread I use Frankincense essential oil. It takes time (many weeks) but I have eliminated two spots on my right hand and lightened a spot on my face.
I have also used glycolic peels in the past but the oil is less harsh and works. |
