Yes I had one age spot on my forehead removed with cryotherapy by a board certified dermatologist and it left a white indented scar. About 10 years later my GP wanted to use cryotherapy to remove another one off my face. I showed him the scar on my forehead and he said what Dr Dray said and promised it wouldn't happen with him. I told him I would let him take one off my arm to see if I could trust him. I got a white indented scar again. Ladies, whoever does this has to have a super fine touch and it doesn't matter if they are a dermatologist. I am fair. No health problems. This scar on my forehead pisses me off every time i look at it because it's way worse than the age spot. Be careful!!
I’ve had cryotherapy a few times for the hyperpigmentation mostly on my upper cheeks, and had great experiences. No white spots. And for me, a white spot is way better than a brown spot. I’m Asian with light skin tone. Currently suffering from the worst melasma I’ve ever had after having my 3rd and final baby. About to have my 4th treatment of the PiQo4 laser and so disappointed in the results. Had better results with cryotherapy than this laser that costs me $500. 😢
I had a skin check at my Dermatologist the first week of April. I had a place on my shoulder removed but thankfully the pathology report was benign. The Doctor was very happy with the condition of my skin. I'm 65 with no age spots. I do wear a good moisturizing sunscreen daily.
I've been accumulating age spots for a long time. Since I've used topical retinoids, hats, clothing and sunscreen religiously, I'm trying to accept the permanency of these spots and your video helped.
I took some of those teeth whitening strips that contain hydrogen peroxide, cut out tiny squares, licked them, and applied them to the facial age spots. I repeated this until the age spots were completely gone. So it only cost me pennies. I also had Psoriasis on my right arm that had been there for decades. I figured out a way to get rid of that as well. I also had a wart on my upper eye lid on my right eye lid. It took two years, but that too is now completely gone. That required a combination of alternating between applying to it hand sterilizer, that of course contains alcoholic, and carefully applying clear nail polish. Warts are some what a perforated skin, and thus they absorbed the nail polish and thus allow the nail polish to kill the wart. That final day when I finally was able to just peel the dead wart off, was a very happy day.
I had a friend who suffered horribly from psoriatic arthritis and he would have loved to have known how you got rid of your psoriasis . He is no longer amongst the living but he had the best insurance money could buy and could not really get much relief for long ; may he rest in peace .
Hello from Crete island Greece! You are precious to me! In my 53 having a grandson now, I have much better skin than 5 years ago! Your advises are so helpful and you are such an easy flowing fellow, sincere, clear and precise that I do enjoy all of your videos! Believe it or not, I have used tones of sunscreen in my life, and this -even for the simple reason that I liked that and my mother got me used to that first Nivea cream {before even spf) and I feel glad I did so! So I couldn't love more your greeting @Sunscreen & subscribe! [ Avene is my sun God! and I live in the island of the everlasting summer!] Keep strong and as positive as we all get to Know you girl!!!! Love from Mediterranean! Keep inspiring us!!!!
I’m thankful that I’ve no age spots on my face, neck or chest. My arms and legs are another matter. 😔. Some good news- Costco has upf 50 shirts on sale this month!
I have some small ones on my face and hate them! I wish I knew the importance of sunscreen as a younger person. (35). My mom already had skin cancer 2 times too.
Don’t have them frozen if they are on your face as a first option since they scar so easily or turn white as she says . If on your face try neutrogena in the gray tube forget what it’s called might be dark spot remover , it works but takes a while
Sunscreen is definitely essential. Years ago I had what I thought was an age spot on the inside of my lower leg. I kept an eye on it for years. On a Dr Appt he said it appeared to be getting darker and it had tiny red spots in it. Excision revealed a stage 1 melanoma. It was never raised or really looked like a melanoma. So now I always tell people that if in doubt, check it out. It’s not always going to look like the pics you see on posters.
I think that if anyone has seen the 80s movie The Hunger, you will remember the scene when the male vampire charater (played by David Bowie) begins to rapidly age and is surprised to see the liver spots on his hands. 👱♀️❤
Yes, yes, yes! My father has had many spots on his face and forearms frozen and cut out. It’s not always easy to heal from that if the other skin isn’t healthy. Makes me a sunscreen fanatic!
Yes!!! I need this, Dr Dray. I certainly have my fair share of age spots. 😩 Appreciate all the work you do for all of us. Thank you! Happy Monday!! Hope you have a lovely evening. 💜
@@DrDrayzday weird request but a video on the difference between - and the treatments for - skin tags, warts, and hemorrhoids would be greatly appreciated! 😃
I started getting brown spots after I became surgical menopausal in my late 40s and i was a sun worshiper since my 20s. Could you do a video on skin changes once menopausal? TIA.
Thank you for this video. I went to my dermatologist regarding my age spot, I specifically asked her about cryotherapy. She advised against it as the spot could come back whiter than my natural skin tone, just as you stated. However, she offered no other solutions other than using concealer to cover it. 😆
I bought the gloves you recommended a couple of months ago & use. And I've become a daily (even indoors) sunscreen user, and use sunscreen like hand lotion now. Thanks for all the helpful videos - they have changed my habits and knowledge. It's become fun to learn about this and make better skin care choices.
I never even thought of getting driving gloves until I saw this video. Just bought the ones she recommended. Now, I need a hat, but they were pretty expensive.
Living in Florida, wearing gloves while driving in a car registering temps inside the car in the mid-90’s, it’s very difficult to adapt to wearing gloves. I try to be sure to protect my hands with a good sunscreen.
I have age spots because in my 20s, I tanned and there were only SPF 15 on the market. Have been using sunblock since my 30s, and retinol since my 40s. They both work really well. I have had 2 IPL and Q switch laser treatments, they worked really well, but the brown spots did return in time.
Thank you Dr. Dray! Today is my 35th birthday and you have helped me keep my skin looking so young and healthy I always get compliments on my skin thanks to you 💗
I love how you broke this video into segments so we can go to the information we’re seeking quickly. There is a reason you have so many subs and I’m so happy to have found your channel!
Hi! I’m in my 60s, so I belong to the generation who HAD to tan in the summer to look “healthy” and cool… Now I use sunscreen every day, even if it rains, but I have a big sun spot on my cheek. My dermatologist has suggested laser treatment and I am willing to do so. But since it is quite expensive, I’d like to know if I will really see a significant difference. Not just a lighter spot… Thanks for your videos, I’m a big fan! Best regards from Argentina!!!
This video right in my lines no spring chicken here! I spent 14 hrs on a golf course this weekend and by wearing a hat the size of Vermont and reapplying sunscreen twice daily I don’t look like I spent anytime in the ☀️ sun. Discipline, work ethic and consistency here daily. That shade of red the best! ☕️⭐️❤️👌🏻
I wish my husband was as diligent when applying sunscreen. :( He'll wear it while golfing....if I remind him. However while mowing the lawn which takes a good 40 minutes, not so much.
@@helpfulnatural get him a big hat and the fishing long sleeves to wear mowing instigate him with love and concern It will work cause eventually the guilt will make him do it haha :)
One tip is when you are applying sunscreen, apply to the top of your hand 🤚 for applying sunscreen to your face, when done apply more to the hand and rub in
Thank you for this video! I have something on one of my temples. It started off very tiny like an age spot. Eventually it went to being a type of keratosis. I’ve had it biopsied. But nobody I ever saw mentioned what I could do to get rid of it. I guess they wait for me to ask. Also, I just learned about hydroquinone from you a few weeks ago. I never even heard of it before. For years I would get a cystic pimple once in a while and I would always be left with dark spots or hyperpigmentation and never was told what to do with it. I have learned an immense amount from you in the past year alone. Thank you so much again!! It seems like most doctors I go to anymore do the bare minimum. I’m going for a consultation to get picosure laser done on the scarring that is leftover. For about 20 years I’ve been trying to see what is out there, and so far most seem to be a waste of time and money for me, I’m hoping picosure is the one.
At last! Been waiting for this video for years. My skin is really good. No wrinkles, minimal laxity, glow etc but my hands are covered with age spots. It started aged 40. I personally have not had permanent results from Fraxel IPL or even V Beam. I did some cryotherapy on two really bad spots but went too far and now have white spots instead. I don’t see the point of hydroquinone. I used it for three months and the spots faded but never really went away. First day of summer they came right back. SO difficult to keep sunscreen on your hands. I wonder why some of us seem to get them so badly? I have always been diligent with sun protection U.K. my more careless friends may have more wrinkles but they are sunspot free.
Watching this twice, as it's full of so much helpful info. The content you put out is so useful, Dr. Dray. Thank you for all you do! I hope you earn some nice extra income off of it (although I'm guessing that's not why you do it). I so appreciate your passion for healthy skin.
I have the tiniest age spots (2 to be exact) on my driving hand. And had one on my left cheek, but after yrs of home treatment, I am the only one to see it. Had a long commute for a year that was the culprit. Better sunscreen products and application now. ☀️
Do you apply anti spot creams specifically on the two spots only or do you extend it in the back of the hand? I want my spots to go but I do not wish to make all my skin lighter in the process! 😅
My skin is getting so blotchy with the years! I’m an avid sunscreen wearer since my mid 20ies. I have age spots and melasma. Daily use of Differin and sunscreen.
I had that over two spots on the drivers side of my face. All those years of driving without sunblock, caused it. I have lightened skin in that area, too.
I had a VISIA facial assessment report done by an esthetician. I can expect many age spots to surface in my future. Very scary to think of possible skin cancer. Many of us mature persons ( over 50 ) can't preach sunscreen enough. My 50+ sister still loves a tan 😕
I've got a lot of sun spots - I live in Queensland, Australia and we boast one of the highest number of skin cancers in the world - I know age spots aren't cancers but the fact shows that sun damage to the skin is a fairly normal occurrence here. I went to a dermatologist for help with the age spots, I was 63 at the time, and his treatment option was laser. It HURT and while my spots faded, they started to return in 6 weeks; yes, I was lathering SPF50 and wearing a hat. I will request cryotherapy; I thought it must be considered old fashioned. Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it.
Thank you! I’m a light skinned mixed race AA in my late 60s and am struggling from years of sunbathing. I began to use sunscreen faithfully in my late 40s but so much damage had already been done - many summers spent in the Greek islands. My older brother had skin cancer so I must be very careful. Have bad sun spots on my right hand - of course the hand I drive with. Thanks for the tip about driving gloves. I have sun spots that look like freckles on my legs now and wonder if there is anything to be done about getting them to fade. Thanks again, though I’m technically skin of color, you have put me on the road to having great skin into my 70s! Also my long time Italian hair stylist told me recently that hats damage the scalp so to be careful about wearing even wide brim hats. Any truth to that?
Dr. Dray Thank you for all that you do and share with everyone. Also I love how conscious you are about water running etc. You should remind people to recycle. I feel like you would help people to also be mindful about recycling, since you also remind them the importance of sunblock.
Summers are the worst for me, I get lots of spots, makes me look like I have freckles. They fade on their own as soon as Summer is gone. I have been getting few spots that don't go and they are from the age. Retinol has done nothing. I'm considering chemical peeling with with professional since I've seen amazing results. Thanks for the information.
Can you do a segment on platelet plasma (PRP) for hair loss? My hair stylist recently recommended it for my hair loss. I’ve been using minoxidil for a few years now.
Did the rogaine not work? I just started mine like 3 months ago along with 150mg aldactone... have yet to really notice... my derm said to give it six months and then if I wasn’t satisfied we could do prp.. but he also said that doesn’t work for everyone either and you spend like 3grand
@@user-cd6xp5lk4c I use Minoxidil. It does work but when you stop, your hair falls out again. Plus, I’ve been using it for several years and I’ve started seeing symptoms of systemic absorption. PRP sounds like a great option, I hope Dr Dray makes a video on it
My mom had some of the raised spots forming on her back. She purchased freeze away wart remover and had me apply it. Took several sessions but all crusted over and heeled nicely.
I have a full head of hair and had to have a basal cell carcinoma cut out of my scalp a couple of years ago...not in the part, either! I am wearing a hat outside year round these days, as it covers my face, ears, and scalp.
I'm hoping Dr. Dray will do a video on hypopigmentation. I always had these light spots, mostly on my legs. Not too much anymore, because I limit my sun exposure. But as a child, this was an issue.
I have had spots taken off by Derm with the freezing method. Told the Derm if it makes it look worse don't use it. Well now instead of a light brown color it is a more noticeable pure white circle type on my shoulder. Looks more unnatural now. The Derm did previous spots , and it turned out OK. I think she went to deep this time. So be careful.
Greetings Dr. Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Monday😀n what a Wonderful Vid.... thanks n This is Really Necessary that u r Educating us on Age Spots👍n Continued Blessings to All💜....
I know a guy who had a cool looking Robert Denero mole on his face next to his nose. After a while it started bleeding when he washed his face. It annoyed him so he googled how to get rid of moles. He bought some undiluted chemical peel and used it on his bleeding mole. It went away for a while, then came back. He would burn it off over and over. He finally went to a Doc and found out it was skin cancer. No one at the Dr.’s office thought that what he was doing was a good idea. He ended up having surgery to get the mole removed. He’s doing better today.
I have seen the dermatologist at least yearly for 40 years. I have had hundreds of the lesions removed with cryotherapy. Some leave a white or light spot and some I can't tell they were there. But when I was about 60 I had a large one on my cheek. He zapped it and then it came back 3 times. Now I have a larger brown spot where it was. I used hydroquinone a few years ago and it faded my freckles doing nothing for the large spot! Is there anything I can do about it. Recent retinol has faded it a bit. I came here wondering if I could use Differin gel to spot treat these dark spots??? You give lots of good info. I wear sunscreen. Gloves when gardening and long sleeves and a Sunday morning brand hat. My Dad is bald and had to have 3 surgeries for skin cancer on the top of his head.
I got a bad scar on my right eye that runs down to corner of my mouth and another a cross my forehead yet it’s 4 green age spots that bothers me more. Truly I’d love to be rid of them. Tis funny I’ve had scars 40 years and I don’t notice them but them age spots stick out more. Any ideas some kind soul Ireland ☘️
I have a lot of spots that are treated with cryo therapy, 40 spots last 2 weeks😅 The last girl who did them was to agressive thow😖 I have Infliximab for Crohn’s and it effects my skin a lot. 🤷🏻♀️
I haven't had any major sun damage. So I was suprised when I had sun spots. Only reason I could think that I burned few times in my childhood and then there much less information about sun damage and sun creams were totally different kinds.
Yes I had one age spot on my forehead removed with cryotherapy by a board certified dermatologist and it left a white indented scar. About 10 years later my GP wanted to use cryotherapy to remove another one off my face. I showed him the scar on my forehead and he said what Dr Dray said and promised it wouldn't happen with him.

I’ve had the same experience on my face and chest from that procedure. Very noticeable lighter than my skin and a scar 🤨
I’ve had cryotherapy a few times for the hyperpigmentation mostly on my upper cheeks, and had great experiences. No white spots. And for me, a white spot is way better than a brown spot. I’m Asian with light skin tone. Currently suffering from the worst melasma I’ve ever had after having my 3rd and final baby.

It's 3 a.m. here in Japan and I'm watching. Good morning, Dr. Dray 👋
I had a skin check at my Dermatologist the first week of April. I had a place on my shoulder removed but thankfully the pathology report was benign. The Doctor was very happy with the condition of my skin. I'm 65 with no age spots. I do wear a good moisturizing sunscreen daily.
That’s amazing
which sunscreen moisturizer do you use?
Wow, no age spot is so unusual.
Which sunscreen moisturizing do You wear please
Red looks beautiful on you!😍
I love how you always say "wiser years." I appreciate that.
I've been accumulating age spots for a long time. Since I've used topical retinoids, hats, clothing and sunscreen religiously, I'm trying to accept the permanency of these spots and your video helped.
I took some of those teeth whitening strips that contain hydrogen peroxide, cut out tiny squares, licked them, and applied them to the facial age spots. I repeated this until the age spots were completely gone. So it only cost me pennies. I also had Psoriasis on my right arm that had been there for decades. I figured out a way to get rid of that as well. I also had a wart on my upper eye lid on my right eye lid. It took two years, but that too is now completely gone. That required a combination of alternating between applying to it hand sterilizer, that of course contains alcoholic, and carefully applying clear nail polish. Warts are some what a perforated skin, and thus they absorbed the nail polish and thus allow the nail polish to kill the wart. That final day when I finally was able to just peel the dead wart off, was a very happy day.

I have the tiniest age spots (2 to be exact) on my driving hand. And had one on my left cheek, but after yrs of home treatment, I am the only one to see it. Had a long commute for a year that was the culprit. Better sunscreen products and application now. ☀️
Do you apply anti spot creams specifically on the two spots only or do you extend it in the back of the hand?
I want my spots to go but I do not wish to make all my skin lighter in the process! 😅
My skin is getting so blotchy with the years! I’m an avid sunscreen wearer since my mid 20ies. I have age spots and melasma. Daily use of Differin and sunscreen.
Have a nice day!!
You too
🥰🥰 notification gang!
Happy Monday
I had that over two spots on the drivers side of my face. All those years of driving without sunblock, caused it. I have lightened skin in that area, too.
I had a VISIA facial assessment report done by an esthetician. I can expect many age spots to surface in my future. Very scary to think of possible skin cancer. Many of us mature persons ( over 50 ) can't preach sunscreen enough. My 50+ sister still loves a tan 😕
I've got a lot of sun spots - I live in Queensland, Australia and we boast one of the highest number of skin cancers in the world - I know age spots aren't cancers but the fact shows that sun damage to the skin is a fairly normal occurrence here.
I went to a dermatologist for help with the age spots, I was 63 at the time, and his treatment option was laser. It HURT and while my spots faded, they started to return in 6 weeks; yes, I was lathering SPF50 and wearing a hat.
I will request cryotherapy; I thought it must be considered old fashioned.
Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it.
Thank you! I’m a light skinned mixed race AA in my late 60s and am struggling from years of sunbathing. I began to use sunscreen faithfully in my late 40s but so much damage had already been done - many summers spent in the Greek islands. My older brother had skin cancer so I must be very careful. Have bad sun spots on my right hand - of course the hand I drive with. Thanks for the tip about driving gloves. I have sun spots that look like freckles on my legs now and wonder if there is anything to be done about getting them to fade. Thanks again, though I’m technically skin of color, you have put me on the road to having great skin into my 70s!
Also my long time Italian hair stylist told me recently that hats damage the scalp so to be careful about wearing even wide brim hats. Any truth to that?
Dr. Dray Thank you for all that you do and share with everyone. Also I love how conscious you are about water running etc. You should remind people to recycle. I feel like you would help people to also be mindful about recycling, since you also remind them the importance of sunblock.
THANK YOU for posting a video that was completely in focus!
Summers are the worst for me, I get lots of spots, makes me look like I have freckles. They fade on their own as soon as Summer is gone. I have been getting few spots that don't go and they are from the age. Retinol has done nothing. I'm considering chemical peeling with with professional since I've seen amazing results.
Thanks for the information.
I’ve been subscribed to you for a while but super excited for today’s video. I work for Brymill, the manufacturer of the Cry-Ac.
Happy Monday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Happy Monday to all!
Can you do a segment on platelet plasma (PRP) for hair loss? My hair stylist recently recommended it for my hair loss. I’ve been using minoxidil for a few years now.
Good idea
Did the rogaine not work? I just started mine like 3 months ago along with 150mg aldactone... have yet to really notice... my derm said to give it six months and then if I wasn’t satisfied we could do prp.. but he also said that doesn’t work for everyone either and you spend like 3grand
@@user-cd6xp5lk4c I use Minoxidil. It does work but when you stop, your hair falls out again. Plus, I’ve been using it for several years and I’ve started seeing symptoms of systemic absorption. PRP sounds like a great option, I hope Dr Dray makes a video on it
@@yyvette great... I'm probably be o it forever then.... I'm seriously considering hair transplants
Thank you for the descriptions and I love the shirt you have on.
Always appreciate how your videos are so full of facts, fun and great advice. Thanks for another great video Dr.❤️
My mom had some of the raised spots forming on her back. She purchased freeze away wart remover and had me apply it. Took several sessions but all crusted over and heeled nicely.
Did any dark or white spots appear?
@@emilylee9894 nope healed great!
When is your hat fashion video? 😀
I have a full head of hair and had to have a basal cell carcinoma cut out of my scalp a couple of years ago...not in the part, either! I am wearing a hat outside year round these days, as it covers my face, ears, and scalp.
Happy Monday! I had ruby laser on a sun spot and it worked great =)
Do these spots have any relation to Insulin resistance or low vitamin C?
I'm hoping Dr. Dray will do a video on hypopigmentation. I always had these light spots, mostly on my legs. Not too much anymore, because I limit my sun exposure. But as a child, this was an issue.
I have a video on that
@@DrDrayzday thank you!
I have had spots taken off by Derm with the freezing method. Told the Derm if it makes it look worse don't use it. Well now instead of a light brown color it is a more noticeable pure white circle type on my shoulder. Looks more unnatural now. The Derm did previous spots , and it turned out OK. I think she went to deep this time. So be careful.
Great content! Happy Monday everyone!

You're the best Dr Dray! I'm actually getting a Halo laser tx next week!💛☀️
Great video! Can you make a video on how to remove keloid scars? Thanks!
I have videos on that
I know a guy who had a cool looking Robert Denero mole on his face next to his nose. After a while it started bleeding when he washed his face. It annoyed him so he googled how to get rid of moles. He bought some undiluted chemical peel and used it on his bleeding mole. It went away for a while, then came back. He would burn it off over and over. He finally went to a Doc and found out it was skin cancer. No one at the Dr.’s office thought that what he was doing was a good idea. He ended up having surgery to get the mole removed. He’s doing better today.
Cryotherapy vs laser for sun spot on the cheek bone? Which is better? Thanks!
I have seen the dermatologist at least yearly for 40 years. I have had hundreds of the lesions removed with cryotherapy. Some leave a white or light spot and some I can't tell they were there. But when I was about 60 I had a large one on my cheek. He zapped it and then it came back 3 times. Now I have a larger brown spot where it was. I used hydroquinone a few years ago and it faded my freckles doing nothing for the large spot! Is there anything I can do about it. Recent retinol has faded it a bit. I came here wondering if I could use Differin gel to spot treat these dark spots???
You give lots of good info. I wear sunscreen. Gloves when gardening and long sleeves and a Sunday morning brand hat. My Dad is bald and had to have 3 surgeries for skin cancer on the top of his head.
Great Video Dr. Dray!! Thank You For This Information!! Have a Great Day!! Always!!
Greetings Jackie Marsh hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜.....
Thank You Friend!! I'm Doing Pretty Good!! I Hope All is Well With You Too!! Enjoy Your Day!!
I got a bad scar on my right eye that runs down to corner of my mouth and another a cross my forehead yet it’s 4 green age spots that bothers me more. Truly I’d love to be rid of them. Tis funny I’ve had scars 40 years and I don’t notice them but them age spots stick out more. Any ideas some kind soul Ireland ☘️
I have a lot of spots that are treated with cryo therapy, 40 spots last 2 weeks😅
The last girl who did them was to agressive thow😖 I have Infliximab for Crohn’s and it effects my skin a lot. 🤷🏻♀️
I haven't had any major sun damage. So I was suprised when I had sun spots. Only reason I could think that I burned few times in my childhood and then there much less information about sun damage and sun creams were totally different kinds.
So informative!! Thank you ☀️
Hi, Dr. Dray. Love your content! Do you mind doing a video on PRP treatments (specifically under the eye)?! 🤎
Type “dr dray prp” in the TH-cam search bar to find a couple of videos on this topic.
@@jt8142 thanks - she did it a couple days after I requested it
