Treatment: No therapy is needed other than to recommend sun protection, sunscreen use, and routine skin examinations in the future. For cosmetic reasons, lentigines can be removed in a myriad of ways. Light cryotherapy is effective and easy to perform. This treatment can leave hypopigmented areas and should be used with caution in darker-skinned individuals. Many different chemical peels and dermabrasion techniques have been used to help decrease the appearance of lentigines. With the proliferation of medical laser devices in dermatology, lasers with unique wavelengths have been developed to target the melanin in lentigines. These laser devices have shown promise in lightening and removing solar lentigines.
