Sun Spot Removal with Liquid Nitrogen by Dermatologist Dr. David Myers

Sun spot removal or Solar Lentigo treatment to remove a single sunspot from a patient’s face using Liquid Nitrogen is performed by Dr. David Myers, a local dermatologist in Lehi, Utah. A single sun spot is a Solar Lentigo and multiple sun spots would be referred to as Solar Lentigines. The Solar Lentigo or Sun Spot is a benign pigmented lesion that occurs in sun-exposed areas of the face, arms, and hands. The lesions vary in size from 0.2 to 2.0 cm and become more numerous with advancing age. Solar lentigines or sun spots are not harmful but they are aesthetically important to some patients. Solar lentigines have been treated with a number of methods including topical tretinoin, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen and bleaching agents.

If you want to remove the sun spots or are wondering how to remove sun spots Liquid Nitrogen has been used for Solar Lentigo treatment for many years with great success and a low cost to patients. The liquid nitrogen destroys the melanocytes at temperatures of -4 to -7 degrees C.

Dr. David Myers of Utah Valley Dermatology explains how the Liquid Nitrogen works to remove the single sun spot on the patients face. If you would like more information on sun spots, Solar Lentigo treatment or have any questions about dermatology please contact Utah Valley Dermatology and schedule an appointment with Dr. David Myers.

This is quite possibly the shortest, and most to-the-point YouTube video in existence.

After treatment it takes about 10 days to heal. The site will appear darker, dry up like a scab and eventually peel off. The skin underneath may be red for a couple of weeks but this should fade. Do NOT be tempted to pick/peel the skin off as it is healing as this can lead to scarring. If any brown marks are still present, a second session should remove all of it.

Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away tag remover.
Yes, I know that the product is advertised as a skin tag remover, but it has a secondary use for freezing away sun spots.
I use it on my own sun spots and it works beautifullv.

I got a large mole froze today on my back. So wanted to see the process myself 😅

I've been doing this for years on my face, keeping the spots at bay. It's as effective as laser, easier, more convenient and so much cheaper.

I had this done on my check about 30 years ago. I can tell you it worked but after a significant amount of time has passed I am now left with a raised white hypopigmentation spot surrounded by brown hyperpigmentation. My current dermatologist says it looks like a scar. I recommend seeking an alternative treatment from a med spa.

Excited to learn about this treatment!!

[paulinehawkins]

I have one sun spot on my face. I might try and see about this method. Thanks for the information.

[WVgrl]

Thank you, I am having this done next week.

[slotsplay]

Can we see the sunspot close so we can see befor and after

[amberlopez]

I had this done to remove wart on my nose. It worked. I tried burning it off with a laser treatment 3 times. That didn't work. So then I tried the freezing.

[EDone]

Removes 1 spot that takes less then 10 sec.
Doctor: all done. That’ll be $2000 dollars thank you come again.

I did one treatment and it did scab up then came off but now I have a slight ring like scar not as dark as the spots before but I’ll try to use some natural remedy to hopefully blend it away but the treatment did remove the spot

I've had many freckles removed by my dermatologist with this method. It works great on most.

[jlcmsw]

I just had this done today on a spot right below my eyebrow. It stings and burns for about 30 minutes but it’s not a bad experience at all.

Find Korean dermatologist. They uses all kind of laser tools. That’s why Korean women has perfect skin

I had this treatment done this morning, I had this brown spot on the left side of my face for 9 years I tried all the over-the-counter creams and oils nothing worked, I hope this will remove it. It is 11 pm now and my brown spot is now very dark, it looks worst. I do know it gets worst before it gets better/before it disappears for good. I have Kaiser and didn't have to pay anything.

Nice video, I was first sceptical about using the "big" freezer!

[SharonPorts]

Did she have hypo pigmentation once it healed?

i had this done about 20 years ago for a red patch that looked like a sun spot. Painless and healed over nicely with no clues left behind that it was previously there. I am in New England and so far local ads online show derms using laser! Ive had that done to this current spot and it did absolutely nothing [other than demonstrating what its like to be punched in the face].
