Age spots and moles can quietly make themselves at home on your skin over time. But just because they’re common doesn’t mean you have to live with them. At Cary Care Esthetics, we specialize in safe, advanced solutions that help fade pigmentation and refine your skin without compromising its integrity. If you’ve been searching for natural anti-aging solutions that actually work, you’re in the right place.
Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about removing stubborn age spots and moles in Cary, NC—from the science behind them to the latest treatments that deliver smooth, refreshed skin.
What Causes Age Spots and Moles?
Let’s start with what they are.
Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are flat, brownish patches that often appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and shoulders. They’re caused by UV exposure over time, which triggers an overproduction of melanin in the skin.
Moles, on the other hand, are clusters of pigmented cells that can be present from birth or develop later in life. While most moles are benign, changes in their appearance should always be evaluated by a medical professional.
Sun exposure, hormonal changes, and even genetics can all play a role. That’s why a tailored approach is key—one that accounts for your skin type, lifestyle, and personal goals.
Do You Actually Need to Remove Them?
Not always—but many people choose to for cosmetic reasons or peace of mind. If a mole has changed shape, color, or texture, it’s best to get it checked. For age spots, the decision is often aesthetic. They can make skin look uneven and older than it feels.
At Cary Care Esthetics, we treat both with equal care—focusing on your skin’s long-term health while delivering results that look and feel natural.
Safe, Effective Options for Spot and Mole Removal
We offer a range of minimally invasive treatments designed to improve skin clarity while supporting your skin barrier. These are some of the most popular options among our Cary, Raleigh, and Apex clients:
1. Fotona Laser Therapy
This advanced laser technology precisely targets pigmented lesions without damaging surrounding skin. It works by gently breaking down excess melanin, allowing your body to naturally eliminate the pigment over time. It’s an ideal solution for age spots, and in some cases, flat moles.
2. V-IPL Photofacial
This treatment uses Intense Pulsed Light to fade dark spots, reduce redness, and improve overall tone. It’s especially helpful for sun-damaged skin and uneven pigmentation caused by years of UV exposure. Results are progressive and can be seen after just a few sessions.
3. Microneedling with PRF
Microneedling stimulates skin repair and collagen production, while Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) boosts healing with your body’s own growth factors. This combination can minimize discoloration, smooth texture, and improve tone—making it a natural anti-aging solution with added rejuvenation benefits.
4. BioFillers
BioFillers offer a regenerative alternative to synthetic fillers. While not typically used to remove moles or age spots directly, they can restore volume to areas affected by sun damage or post-treatment healing, blending skin tone for a smoother look.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most treatments take less than an hour and require little to no downtime. Depending on the treatment and the severity of the pigmentation, multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Here’s what you might experience post-treatment:
- Mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours
- Gradual fading of spots over days to weeks
- Minimal peeling or flaking as pigmented cells rise to the surface
Results can be long-lasting, especially when paired with proper sun protection and high-quality skincare.
How to Maintain Your Results
After removing stubborn spots, maintaining healthy, even-toned skin becomes the priority. Here’s how to protect your results:
- Use SPF daily – even on cloudy days
- Avoid peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM)
- Incorporate antioxidant-rich skincare (think: Vitamin C serums)
- Schedule seasonal maintenance treatments as recommended
Consistency is key. And we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
