Clear Away Years of Sun Damage

Sun spot and age spot removal treatments in Barrington for clearer, more even skin

When brown spots appear on your hands, face, or chest after years of sun exposure, they can make your skin look older and less even. At Bombay Laser in Barrington, sun spot and age spot removal treatments target discoloration caused by sun damage and aging, helping restore clarity and radiance without invasive procedures or extended downtime.


These treatments use targeted methods to break down melanin deposits that cause visible dark spots, allowing your body to naturally clear away the pigment over time. Most treatments are quick and non-invasive, with little to no downtime, so you can return to daily activities shortly after your session. Each treatment is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

  • How Treatment Works and What You Will Notice

    Your session in Barrington begins with a skin assessment to determine the best approach for your spots. Depending on the method used, targeted energy or topical solutions are applied to the discolored areas, breaking down excess pigment without damaging surrounding skin. Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number and size of spots being treated.


    After treatment, the spots may darken slightly before they begin to fade and flake away over the following one to two weeks. Your skin will gradually look clearer and more even as the pigment is absorbed and eliminated by your body.


    Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the depth and number of spots, and sun protection is critical after treatment to prevent new discoloration from forming. This is not a one-time solution but part of a broader approach to managing sun damage and maintaining even tone over time.

Questions that come up before treatment

Many people want to know how long it takes to see results, what the spots will look like as they fade, and how to prevent new ones from forming. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear at Bombay Laser.


  • What causes sun spots and age spots? They are caused by excess melanin production triggered by UV exposure over time. They often appear on areas that receive the most sun, like the face, hands, and chest.
  • How long does it take for spots to fade? Most spots begin to fade within one to two weeks after treatment as the pigment darkens, flakes off, and is absorbed by your body. Full results may take several weeks.
  • How many treatments are usually needed? Some spots respond after one session, but deeper or larger spots may require two to three treatments spaced a few weeks apart for complete removal.
  • What should I do after treatment? Avoid direct sun exposure, apply sunscreen daily, and follow your provider's aftercare instructions in Barrington. Sun protection is critical to prevent new spots from forming.
  • What is the difference between sun spots and age spots? They are essentially the same and are both caused by UV exposure and aging. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe flat, brown patches on the skin.
