Expert CryoPen Treatment for Sun Spots and Age Spots
What Are Solar Lentigines?
Solar lentigines, commonly referred to as sun spots or age spots, are benign skin pigmentation changes that develop as a result of prolonged ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. These harmless lesions occur when UV exposure triggers increased melanocyte activity, leading to localized melanin production in specific areas of the skin.
Clinically, solar lentigines appear as flat or slightly elevated brown lesions with well-demarcated borders. Unlike freckles, which typically display uniform coloration, these lesions can vary in shade from light tan to deep brown. They predominantly develop on chronically sun-exposed areas including the hands, face, décolletage, and lower extremities, and may also appear following episodes of sunburn.
For individuals seeking to minimize their appearance or remove them entirely, Solar Lentigines Treatment Basingstoke offers targeted, professional solutions. Despite being colloquially called "liver spots" due to their brownish appearance, solar lentigines have no connection to liver function or disease. They simply represent the skin's cumulative response to solar damage over time.
Advanced CryoPen Treatment for Solar Lentigines
-
Our Professional Removal Process: We utilize the CryoPen system, an advanced cryotherapy device that delivers controlled, precise treatment for solar lentigines. This innovative technology employs a high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide to achieve millimeter-accurate targeting, ensuring effective treatment while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
-
Comprehensive Pre-Treatment Consultation: Every treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment conducted by our qualified practitioners. We perform a thorough evaluation of the treatment areas and review your complete medical history to ensure you are an ideal candidate for cryotherapy treatment.

The Treatment Procedure: During the procedure, our specialist applies the CryoPen device directly to each individual lesion. The device delivers a controlled jet of nitrous oxide that rapidly freezes the targeted pigmented cells, effectively destroying them without affecting adjacent healthy tissue. Each lesion requires only seconds of treatment time, making the entire procedure remarkably efficient.

Post-Treatment Care Protocol: Following treatment, diligent sun protection is essential during the healing process. We recommend consistent use of broad-spectrum SPF protection and appropriate protective clothing when outdoors to optimize healing and prevent new lesion formation.
