The short answer

What are sunspots, and how are they removed?

Sunspots (solar lentigines) are flat brown spots caused by years of sun exposure. Because the pigment is concentrated in the upper skin, spot lasers usually remove them in 1–2 sessions.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, sunspots are treated with pico spot laser, priced by number and size at consultation; pico toning (₩150,000) helps surrounding tone.

Honest suitability

Who Sunspot Removal suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Flat brown spots on the face or hands
  • Spots that appeared with sun exposure
  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Uneven tone around spots

Probably not the first choice

  • Raised, irregular or changing spots, which need evaluation first
  • Melasma, which needs gentler toning
  • Fresh tans
  • Picking scabs after treatment
  • Skipping SPF
How it works

How we treat it

Spot laser: picosecond pulses shatter the pigment.

Healing: fine scabs fall off in about a week.
