Reclaim an even, radiant complexion with our advanced cryotherapy solutions
Age Spots
At The Old Rectory Clinic, we combine precision technology with medical expertise to fade unwanted pigmentation and reveal clearer, more luminous skin.
Understanding Age Spots
Age spots, sometimes called sun spots or liver spots, are flat areas of increased pigmentation that typically appear on sun-exposed skin. These harmless yet often unwelcome marks develop when melanin clusters together over time, usually as a result of cumulative UV exposure. While they pose no medical concern, many individuals find that age spots affect their confidence and make skin appear older than it truly is.
At The Old Rectory Clinic, we offer targeted treatments that address these pigmented areas effectively, helping you achieve a more uniform skin tone without invasive procedures.
Your Treatment Journey
Our streamlined four-step process ensures a comfortable, effective experience from start to finish.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Your practitioner conducts a detailed skin assessment and discusses your concerns to determine whether cryotherapy is the optimal approach for your needs. This appointment also allows us to review your medical history and set realistic expectations.
Preparation and Cleansing
On treatment day, the targeted area is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils or debris. Our clinician marks the precise zones requiring attention to ensure accuracy during application.
CryoPen Application
Using our advanced CryoPen device, controlled bursts of nitrous oxide are applied directly to each age spot with pinpoint precision. The procedure typically lasts only seconds per lesion and most clients report minimal discomfort.
Aftercare Guidance
Following treatment, you receive tailored aftercare instructions to support healing and optimise results. We schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and address any questions.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Your journey does not end when you leave the clinic. We provide comprehensive aftercare guidance to ensure the treated areas heal beautifully. Expect some initial darkening of the spots before they naturally crust and shed over the following days. Keeping the skin moisturised and protected from direct sunlight is essential during recovery. Our team remains available to answer questions, and we encourage you to attend your scheduled review appointment so we can assess your skin’s response and recommend any additional sessions if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Many age spots respond well to a single treatment, though deeper or more stubborn pigmentation may require two or three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your clinician will advise on the best plan for your individual case.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients describe a mild stinging sensation during application, similar to an ice cube pressed against the skin. The CryoPen’s precision technology ensures surrounding tissue remains unaffected, reducing discomfort considerably.
What is the recovery period?
There is minimal downtime associated with cryotherapy. You can resume daily activities immediately, though the treated spots may appear darker initially before naturally flaking away within one to two weeks.
Are results permanent?
Once an age spot is successfully treated, it will not return. However, new spots may develop over time with continued sun exposure, so diligent sunscreen use and protective clothing are recommended for long-term prevention.
