How To Get Rid of Those Age Spots on Your Face, Neck and Hands
Pro Solution: A Q-switched ruby laser dissolves the melanin that creates hyperpigmentation (dark spots). The treatment results in a scab, which falls away after about a week, taking the spot with it.
Cost: $300 to $700, depending on how many areas are treated (usually only one treatment is necessary)
At-Home Solution: A hydroquinone cream inhibits melanin production and can often lighten age spots as effectively as a laser. At prescription-strength (4 percent), it should fade darkness in four to eight weeks. An over-the-counter (2 percent) cream takes at least eight to 12 weeks.
Cost: About $40 for a generic-brand prescription; $5.50 for Ambi Skin Discoloration Fade Cream, with 2 percent hydroquinone
