Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pigmentation treatment at NEWVE Clinic, answered by our medical team.
What exactly are age spots, and why did they suddenly appear on my face in my 40s?
Newve ClinicAge spots (solar lentigines) are flat brown marks caused mainly by long-term sun exposure, so they often become more noticeable from your 30s–40s. They are usually harmless, but we always confirm the type of pigment in person before recommending treatment.
I have several brown age spots on my cheeks. Do you remove them with laser or electrocautery, and how much downtime should I expect?
Newve ClinicBoth laser and electrocautery (a light surface ablation) are used for age spots; the choice depends on the spot's depth and your skin type. Small spots often need a single session with a few days of light scabbing before the skin settles. We confirm the method and downtime at an in-person consultation.
You use Pico laser for pigment — does the same laser remove tattoos?
Newve ClinicPico-type lasers are used for both pigment and tattoo ink, though tattoo removal generally needs more sessions and different settings. We assess the tattoo's ink and depth before estimating a plan.
What's the difference between Pico and Q-switched laser for age spots, and which is better?
Newve ClinicPico lasers deliver energy in shorter pulses, which can target pigment with less surrounding heat, while Q-switched is a longer-established option. Both are used for age spots and freckles; the better fit depends on your pigment type and skin tone, which we assess in person.
How many sessions for widespread pigmentation across both cheeks?
Newve ClinicBroad or diffuse pigmentation generally needs a series of sessions rather than one, spaced a few weeks apart to let the skin recover. The exact number depends on the pigment type, estimated after an in-person exam.
How long do Ultherapy results last, and how many sessions will I need?
Newve ClinicUltherapy results usually develop over 2–3 months and last around a year depending on age and skin laxity. Many patients maintain with one session a year; we confirm the right plan at consultation.
What's the difference between Juvelook and Rejuran? Which suits fine lines?
Newve ClinicJuvelook focuses on collagen regeneration and subtle volume, while Rejuran centers on skin healing and elasticity. The best choice depends on your skin, so we assess it in person first.
Does Pico laser help with melasma and freckles? How many sessions are needed?
Newve ClinicPico laser can help with pigmentation such as freckles, and is used carefully for melasma. Sessions depend on pigment type and skin — usually several a few weeks apart, decided after an in-person exam.
