Age Spots Fade Faster With This Denver Treatment Combination

If you've been watching age spots settle in — on your cheeks, your hands, your chest — and wondering whether a single treatment can actually clear them, the honest answer is: it depends on how they got there and how stubborn they've decided to be. For a lot of Denver patients, especially those who've spent years at altitude with serious UV exposure, one treatment helps. Two treatments, done in the right order, changes everything. That combination — BBL Hero paired with MOXI laser — is what Jesica and Tara reach for when a patient sits down and says, "I just want my skin to look even again." It works because each device targets a different layer of the problem, and together they don't just fade what's visible on the surface — they begin to address the underlying damage that keeps pushing new spots to the surface in the first place.

What's Actually Happening Beneath an Age Spot

Age spots — sometimes called sun spots, liver spots, or hyperpigmentation depending on who you ask — are clusters of melanin that form in response to cumulative UV exposure. Your skin produces melanin as a protective response, but after years of sun damage, that production becomes uneven. Spots appear. They deepen. And here in Denver, where UV radiation is measurably more intense than at sea level, that process tends to happen faster than most patients expect. Treating age spots effectively means addressing two things: the visible pigment sitting in the upper layers of skin, and the chronic sun damage that's been baked into the dermis for years. Most single-treatment approaches get one but not the other. That's why results plateau — or why spots come back faster than they should.

What BBL Hero Does

BBL Hero is broadband light — a form of intense pulsed light therapy that delivers precise wavelengths of light energy into the skin. For age spots specifically, BBL Hero targets the melanin directly. The pigment absorbs the light energy, breaks apart, and rises to the surface over the following days before naturally flaking off. The result is a noticeably more even skin tone, often after just one or two sessions. BBL Hero is also one of the few treatments with long-term research behind it. Regular BBL treatments have been shown in clinical studies to actually change the way skin expresses genes associated with aging — meaning the skin doesn't just look younger, it begins to behave more like younger skin at a cellular level.

Where MOXI Comes In

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser — which means it creates microscopic treatment zones in the skin without removing the surface layer entirely. It's gentler than fully ablative resurfacing, with minimal downtime, and it works at a different depth than BBL Hero. Where BBL Hero clears the visible pigment sitting in the upper epidermis, MOXI addresses the deeper layers — stimulating collagen production, improving overall skin tone and texture, and helping the skin build the kind of structural integrity that keeps new spots from forming as aggressively.

What to Expect at AOB

At AOB, no two patients walk out with the same treatment plan, because no two patients walk in with the same skin. When you come in for a consultation, Jesica or Tara will assess the type and depth of your pigmentation, your skin tone, your history with sun exposure, and what your schedule realistically looks like for downtime. Most patients doing a BBL Hero and MOXI combination start to see clearing within the first week after BBL Hero as the treated pigment surfaces and sheds. MOXI adds a subtle glow and texture improvement that continues to develop over the following four to six weeks as collagen remodeling takes effect.

A Note on Timing

Denver summers are beautiful — and brutal on skin. UV exposure is higher here than almost anywhere else in the continental US, and active sun exposure while healing from either laser treatment isn't ideal. Many patients choose to do their combination series in late summer or fall, when they're spending less time outdoors and can protect their results through the winter. If you've been noticing age spots spreading or deepening — or if you've tried a single treatment before and felt like it only got you partway there — this combination is worth a real conversation. The team at AOB has helped patients across Denver, Greenwood Village, Cherry Creek, Parker, and Castle Rock get to the kind of results that make people stop asking "are you tired?" and start asking what you're doing differently.
