Age Spot Removal Clinic
Collierville, TN | Real Fading
Most people who come to us about age spots aren’t worried about health. They’re tired of reaching for concealer every morning to cover spots that makeup never quite hides right. At Embrace Skin and Wellness, Karen Cooksey treats age spots Collierville patients bring in, working under physician-supervised medical oversight. If you’re looking for treatment that actually fades pigment instead of just softening it for a few hours, call (901) 457-7891 or book a consultation.
What are The Causes of Age Spots
Sun exposure builds up over decades, and one summer of gardening or driving with your arm out the window doesn’t cause an age spot on its own. It’s the accumulation that does it. Your skin produces extra melanin in small clustered areas as a response to UV damage, and once that pigment settles in, lotions and serums rarely touch it because it sits deeper than surface skin.
WHAT WE OFFER
Age Spot Treatments We Offer
We don’t push one treatment for every kind of pigment. What works on a stubborn hand spot isn’t always what works on facial sun damage, so we build the plan around what your skin actually needs.
Laser and Light Based Treatments
Laser and Light Based Treatments
NouvaDerm is a 1927nm Thulium fractional laser. It works on sun damage and sunspots directly, along with deeper hyperpigmentation and melasma, by creating microscopic treatment zones that trigger the skin’s own repair process underneath the pigment.
Professional Chemical Peels
Professional Chemical Peels
The Perfect Derma Peel blends TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and glutathione for the chemical peel Collierville patients want for age spots without heavy downtime. Marini Chemical Peels are customized to your tolerance and skin tone, since one peel strength doesn’t fit every skin.
Microneedling and RF Resurfacing
Microneedling and RF Resurfacing
Devices like Scarlet RF and Agnes RF aren’t primary pigment tools, but they support tone and texture recovery once the deeper spots start responding to laser or peel work. Clients often pair these in for firmer, more even-looking skin overall.
Advanced Facial Treatments
Advanced Facial Treatments
Our brightening facial and the AquaFirme facial work as skin brightening treatment maintenance between corrective sessions. They won’t erase established pigment on their own, but they keep skin hydrated while your main treatment plan does the heavier lifting.
Medical Grade Skincare
Medical Grade Skincare
We carry ZO Skin Health products for home use. The right serum won’t replace an in-clinic session, but it protects your results and helps fade the surface tone between visits.
Common Signs You Need Age Spot Treatment
A lot of clients tell us the same thing in different words. Their hands look older than their face does. Sunscreen stopped a lot of new damage, but it never touched the spots already sitting there. Here’s why patients search for sun damage treatment in the first place.
Brown spots on the back of the hands that showed up gradually over the years
Facial pigmentation that gets noticeably darker every summer
Spots on the shoulders and chest from decades of sun exposure
Skin tone that reads uneven in photos, even with makeup on
Pigmentation that skincare products have never made much of a dent in
Spots clustering together instead of staying as one or two isolated marks
If a spot has changed shape, color, or size recently, we’ll always recommend getting it checked before any hyperpigmentation treatment in Collierville begins. Most age spots are harmless, but new or changing ones deserve a proper look first.
Are Age Spots a Sign of Skin Cancer
Most age spots are completely harmless. They’re flat, evenly colored, and stay roughly the same size and shape for years. We watch for any spot that’s changed recently: uneven borders, mixed colors within one spot, rapid growth, or a spot that’s started bleeding or itching. If any of that sounds familiar, get it checked by a physician first. Everything else, we can talk through at a consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Age Spot Treatment
Established, stable sun spots that have looked the same for years respond well to laser and peel treatment, and NouvaDerm works safely across most skin tones. If you’ve got a spot that’s changed recently, an active tan, or you’re pregnant and considering a peel, we’ll talk through timing before booking anything. Every plan starts with an honest look at your skin first.
Age Spot Treatment Center Collierville: Real Talk on Before and After
We don’t stage dramatic reveals here. Pigment fades in stages, not overnight, and the honest version of that process looks better than an exaggerated one. Most clients notice the spot lightening within the first couple of weeks after a laser or peel session, with fuller improvement showing over the following month or two as new skin cells replace the pigmented ones.

NouvaDerm vs. Chemical Peel for Age Spots
Both work, but they solve different depths of pigment. NouvaDerm reaches deeper into the skin using controlled laser energy, which makes it the better fit for stubborn or long-standing spots. Chemical peels work closer to the surface and suit lighter, newer pigmentation with less downtime involved. We match the tool to what your spots actually need at your visit.
Why Provider Experience Matters for Age Spot Removal
Laser settings that work fine on one skin tone can cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on another if the provider hasn’t accounted for it. That risk drops significantly with a provider who has real hands on experience and a physician reviewing the protocol.
Karen Cooksey brings years of clinical skin treatment experience to every session, and physician-level oversight means your cosmetic laser skin treatment plan is reviewed before anything happens.
When Will You See Results and How Long Do They Last
Timelines depend on the treatment mode. NouvaDerm’s non-ablative option leaves skin brighter with no downtime the same day, while deeper ablative sessions need three to seven days of healing before the improvement really shows. Most clients see solid sun spot removal results within one to three sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. New sun exposure can bring spots back over time. Daily SPF matters more after treatment than most people expect going in.
How Much Does Age Spot Removal Cost
Cost depends on the treatment and how many sessions your skin needs. NouvaDerm pricing varies depending on the mode and treatment area. Chemical peel pricing also varies based on the type and treatment plan. Call for the latest and updated pricing details. Your consultation includes exact pricing once we’ve assessed your skin, so you’re never guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes age spots to appear on the skin?
Age spots form from years of sun exposure that trigger excess melanin production in small, concentrated areas. They show up most on hands, faces, and shoulders since those areas see the most cumulative sun over a lifetime. Genetics can play a role too.
How do I get rid of age spots on my face?
Laser treatment like NouvaDerm and professional chemical peels are the most effective options for facial age spots. Both work beneath the surface where the pigment actually sits. A consultation helps determine which approach fits your skin best.
Is laser treatment for age spots permanent?
Treated pigment doesn’t typically return, but new spots can form from future sun exposure. Daily SPF use after treatment protects your results and helps prevent new pigmentation from developing in the same areas over time.
How many sessions does NouvaDerm take to fade age spots?
Most clients see meaningful fading after one to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Deeper or more stubborn pigmentation sometimes needs additional sessions. We set realistic expectations during your consultation based on your skin.
What's the difference between age spots and melasma?
Does age spot treatment work on darker skin tones?
Yes, when the right device and settings are used. NouvaDerm’s 1927nm wavelength is safe across Fitzpatrick skin types 1 through 6, which matters since some older laser technology carries higher pigmentation risk on darker complexions.
Is age spot removal covered by insurance?
No, age spot removal is considered a cosmetic procedure and isn’t covered by health insurance. Since spots are benign, insurance providers classify treatment as elective. We offer transparent pricing upfront so there are no surprises after your consultation.
How can I prevent new age spots from forming?
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is the biggest factor in preventing new spots. Wearing protective clothing, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and avoiding tanning beds all help protect the results you’ve already invested in treating.
Who performs age spot treatment at Embrace Skin and Wellness?
Karen Cooksey performs every age spot treatment at Embrace, working under the medical supervision of Dr. Gina Bray, DO. Every treatment plan gets reviewed by a physician before your session begins, not just approved on paper somewhere.
