Cheongdam Antian Clinic: The Global Standard for Age Spot Removal & Dermal Restoration

Age spots, often referred to as "liver spots" or solar lentigines, are a hallmark of long-term photo-exposure and the natural aging process of the skin's pigment-producing cells. At Cheongdam Antian Clinic, we treat Age Spots as a multi-dimensional concern that requires targeted laser energy to clear visible pigment while simultaneously revitalizing the surrounding tissue. This guide explains how our precision-led approach helps international patients eliminate localized discoloration and restore a youthful, uniform skin tone through advanced medical protocols.

What are Age Spots?

Age spots are flat, darkened patches of skin that vary in size and usually appear on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. Unlike freckles, these spots are caused by the permanent accumulation of lipofuscin and melanin as the skin’s metabolic rate slows down with age. At Cheongdam Antian Clinic, we utilize a diagnostic framework to differentiate simple age spots from more complex hyperpigmentation, ensuring that each treatment plan is calibrated to effectively remove the pigment without causing thermal damage to the mature skin barrier.

Key Smoothing & Refinement Treatments

• PicoWay Pigment Correction: Utilizes high-intensity picosecond pulses to pulverize pigment into microscopic particles, allowing the body to naturally clear them with minimal heat to the skin surface.
• GentleMax Pro Laser: Specifically targets deep-seated age spots on the face and body using a dual-wavelength system that provides superior results for various skin types.
• Exosome Pigment Therapy: Combines laser treatment with stem-cell-derived exosomes to accelerate the healing of the treated area and prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• The "Antian Spot-Eraser" Protocol: Our signature multi-stage treatment that includes Precision Laser Targeting, Cryogenic Soothing, and Intensive Brightening Infusions.

The Age Spot Patient Journey

Essential Age Spot Aftercare

• Protect the Micro-Crust: The treated spots may form a thin, dark crust; it is essential not to pick at them and let them shed naturally to avoid scarring.
• Vigilant Sun Protection: Since age spots are light-sensitive, daily use of medical-grade SPF is mandatory to prevent the treated spots from darkening again.
• The Result Timeline: You will notice the pigment flaking away within 5 to 10 days, with the final clear and even skin tone fully appearing within 3 weeks.
