Those small, flat brown patches that seem to appear out of nowhere — on your hands, face, shoulders, or décolletage — are more than just a cosmetic nuisance. Age spots (also called sun spots or liver spots) are visible evidence of years of UV exposure, and they can make your skin look older and more uneven than you actually feel. The good news? You don’t have to live with them. At Candeo Clinic in Gilbert, we offer proven, medical-grade treatments that can dramatically fade or eliminate age spots — leaving your skin clearer, brighter, and more radiant.
Candeo Clinic is led by Abby, a board-certified Physician Assistant with over two decades of medical experience and advanced aesthetic training. Her clinical background means your skin is always evaluated with a whole-health perspective — not just a cosmetic lens. Abby has helped thousands of clients in the Gilbert area restore their skin’s natural glow, and she’ll bring that same expertise and honest guidance to your treatment plan.
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots are flat, darkened areas of skin caused by an overproduction of melanin — the pigment that gives skin its color. They’re most common in adults over 50, but they can appear earlier with significant sun exposure or tanning bed use. Common locations include the face, hands, forearms, shoulders, and chest. While age spots are harmless, they’re one of the most common concerns we hear from clients who want their complexion to look as youthful as they feel.
Treatment Options at Candeo Clinic
No single solution works best for every skin type or every spot. That’s why Abby takes a personalized approach — assessing your skin, your goals, and your lifestyle before recommending a treatment plan. Options at Candeo Clinic may include:
-
Laser Treatments — Targeted laser energy breaks up excess melanin beneath the surface, allowing the body to naturally clear the pigmentation. Results can be dramatic and long-lasting.
-
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) — A favorite for diffuse sun damage, IPL treats multiple spots simultaneously and improves overall skin tone and texture.
-
Chemical Peels — Medical-grade peels accelerate cell turnover, lifting pigmented surface cells and revealing fresher, more even-toned skin beneath.
-
Microneedling — When combined with targeted serums, microneedling can improve overall pigmentation and skin texture while stimulating collagen production.
-
Medical-Grade Skincare — Abby curates a selection of professional skincare products — including Illumier MD (her primary skincare line) and Alastin Skin Nectar — that support treatment results and help prevent new spots from forming. Ask about her online Illumier MD storefront for convenient access to her recommended products.
Many clients achieve the best outcomes through combination treatments — a hallmark of the Candeo approach.
What to Expect
Treatment experiences vary depending on the method chosen, but most age spot treatments at Candeo are well-tolerated with little to no downtime. Some clients notice improvement after a single session; others benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Abby will walk you through exactly what to expect — including realistic timelines, aftercare instructions, and which products (like Oxygenetix, a skin-safe post-procedure makeup option) can help you feel confident during recovery.
Why Choose Candeo Clinic?
Abby isn’t just an aesthetician offering surface-level solutions. As a Physician Assistant and Laser Safety Officer, she evaluates your skin the way a clinician would — considering factors like sun history, skin type, hormones, and overall health. She’ll tell you honestly whether a treatment is right for you, and she won’t recommend something you don’t need. Her clients don’t just come in for a single treatment — they trust her for life. That’s the Candeo difference.
