Age spots and telangiectasia

Telangiectasia are slightly raised red spots of blood vessels just under the surface of the skin. Have your doctor take a look just in case it could be indicative of something more serious, but rest assured most telangiectasia red spots are 'idiopathic' - which is a medical way of saying your doctor doesn't know why they happened.

Age spots are patches of abnormal pigment in otherwise healthy mature skin. They might respond to skin lighteners or peels, and if they don't, there is laser or IPL treatment.

Using intense pulsed light for cosmetic purposes: our experience

Intense pulsed light is an effective and safe method for skin rejuvenation. Its efficacy is mainly manifested by eliminating senile pigmentation [age spots] and telangiectasias and a achieving a younger and fresher appearance of the skin. Although in the literature intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation is mainly reported for the face, the authors have obtained good results by using it for other areas of the body. The majority of the patients were satisfied. The authors conclude that intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation is a safe and effective method for facial and nonfacial rejuvenation.
