Welcome to Erika’s Beauty Lab
Advanced Color Correction
The sun’s UV rays are powerful and aren’t just something to worry about during the summer. Without proper protection year-round, these rays can cause your skin to increase its pigment production and lead to dark, flat patches known as sun spots. While most sun spots aren’t harmful, they can be unsightly and impact your confidence.
That’s where sun spot removal in Littleton at Erika’s Beauty Lab comes in! Using state-of-the-art technology in the form of our Cynosure Elite IQ device, our highly skilled providers can remove these spots and correct the color of skin on the face and body.

Sun Spot Removal
Your provider will ensure your complete comfort throughout the treatment, which should last about 30 minutes or less depending on the size of the spot and the treatment area. We’ll use the Elite IQ’s pulsed, dual-wavelength and Skintel® melanin reader technology to correct skin pigmentation to your skin’s individual type.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does it take to recover from sun spot removal?
-
For individual sunspots, we recommend that clients keep the area treated out of the sun for a period of one month. Additionally, clients can expect to experience slight inflammation for 7 to 10 days as a scab forms in the treatment area. The scab can be flakey and sensitive, but this is a normal reaction and an indication of the healing process. Eventually, the scab will flake off and reveal a new pink layer of skin where the sunspot was.
- Is sun spot removal painful?
-
Most clients find sun spot removal in Littleton to be relatively comfortable and pain-free. If you do experience any discomfort, however, our providers can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area.
- Can you see results after one session?
-
Some clients may experience full removal of their sun spots after just one treatment. However, most can expect a series of 2 to 3 treatments.
