Solar lentigos are often referred to as sun or age spots. They may occur in all sun exposed areas and result from UVA exposure. Many treatments are available to remove them from the skin without scarring.
Treatment regimens are tailored to your skin and also depend on other problems that are desired to be corrected at the same time. In general, each spot appears darker after treatment until the skin has flaked off after about 10 days.

I would like the removal of very small age spots on one hand. The other hand was already done abroad. I would appreciate info on the cost of laser removal?
Sun or age spots are common on the hands and can effectively be removed using a laser that specifically targets pigment. Depending on the intensity of the sun spots, 1-3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart are needed to remove them. With proper application of a potent UVA filtering sunscreen, you can even prevent new ones from forming. The treatment per session for both hands is $300, but if less than 10 spots total are present, the charge will be smaller.
