Age spots Removal in Montreal

A Cryoprobe pen (Health Canada approved) is an advanced instrument used in cryotherapy procedures. It precisely applies extreme cold to a specific area, such as a mole, to freeze and destroy the unwanted tissue without damaging the surrounding skin.

Age spots removal is a procedure that aims to lighten or completely remove the dark spots on your skin known as age spots or liver spots. These spots typically appear due to years of sun exposure or artificial UV light, leading to an accumulation of melanin.

At Reimagine Clinic, our estheticians utilize the cryotherapy technique for age spots removal. Cryotherapy involves the application of a cold substance like liquid nitrogen to the age spots. This leads to the spots drying up and eventually peeling off, revealing lighter skin underneath as it heals.

Before your age spots removal appointment, avoid any form of sun exposure or tanning to the area being treated. It’s also advisable to clean the area thoroughly and avoid applying any cosmetics or creams on the day of the treatment. During your consultation, our estheticians will provide detailed pre-care instructions based on your specific skin condition.

Post-procedure, it’s crucial to keep the treated area clean and dry to promote healing. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible and always wear a high-SPF sunscreen when you go out. In case of any redness or swelling, a cool compress can help. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, reach out to our clinic immediately. Our estheticians will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions after the treatment.

The healing process and results vary from person to person. Some clients notice improvements in the appearance of their age spots within a few weeks, while others may take a few months. It largely depends on the number and size of the age spots and your skin’s healing capacity.

Cryotherapy for age spots removal is generally safe, but like all cosmetic procedures, it does carry some potential side effects and risks. Here are some to be aware of:

1. Skin Discoloration

One of the most common side effects is temporary skin discoloration in the treated area. The skin might appear lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. In most cases, this color difference will gradually lessen over time.

2. Redness and Swelling

After the treatment, you may notice some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is a typical response to the procedure and should subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

3. Blisters and Scarring

While rare, there’s a slight risk of blister formation and scarring. This risk is higher if the treated area is not cared for properly during the healing process.

4. Pain or Discomfort

Some clients may experience a sensation of pain or discomfort during or after the treatment. This is usually mild and temporary.

It’s important to remember that these risks can be minimized by following the pre-care and aftercare instructions provided by our estheticians at Reimagine Clinic. If you notice any unusual symptoms after the procedure, contact our clinic immediately.
