Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

▾ Continue Below ▾

Intense pulsed light therapy uses intense beams of light to destroy the pigment in the affected area. The procedure is not painful, though nervous patients can have a topical numbing agent applied about an hour before the treatment. The treatment itself only lasts a few minutes. Like cryotherapy, intense pulsed light therapy is an outpatient procedure. There will be some redness in the treated area for about two or three hours after the treatment, and for the first day or so the age spots actually start to darken. However, after two weeks they fade or even fall off. They do not return, though other age spots can arise after sun exposure. Dermatologists recommend for patients to avoid direct sunlight for a few days after undergoing intense pulsed light therapy and wear sunscreen if they must go outside.
