AGE SPOTS
Find out more about age spots and what 1192 can do for yours.
What are age spots?
Age spots are flat black, brown or grey spots on the skin that appear in areas exposed to the sun.
What causes age spots?
Age spots are caused by the overproduction of melanin (natural skin pigment). Ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up production of melanin. Tanning beds/lamps can also cause age spots. You are more likely to get age spots if you have light skin and/or have a history of frequent sunburns or extreme sun exposure.

Baby Face Facial FAQs
How does it work?
The Baby Face Facial, uses the LaseMD Ultra™, a cutting-edge 1927nm fractional THULIUM laser, to create tiny microchannels in the skin while using a unique drug delivery system with an active which is tailored to your specific skin needs. The laser will stimulate collagen production and boost the skin’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin health as well as addressing any skin concerns you may have.
What can I expect after treatment?
You may experience redness or warmth on the skin, similar to a mild sunburn. This is usually resolved within 24 hours. You may also notice mild flaking or peeling as your skin rejuvenates - this is completely normal and can be managed with a gentle moisturizer. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the healing process.

The CryoPen™ is an advanced cryotherapy innovation that is a fast, effective, safe and new solution for removal of age spots.
How the CryoPen™ works
The CryoPen™ emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure which reaches up to -89°C, which allows the clinician to work with millimetre precision. This destroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. Procedures typically last from 5 to 25 seconds as the penetration of the cold is approximately 1mm per 5 seconds of treatment, so you can be in and out of the salon quickly. There is no downtime and it is advisable to leave the area uncovered to speed up the healing process. As long as you protect the area from abrasion or damage, there are no limitations to activities straight after the treatment e.g. work, swimming, bathing.
