Just had age spots removed with Q-switched Yag Laser

[Jannie411]

This morning, I had quite a few age spots removed from my face and hands via Q-switched Yag Laser.  The spots were quite red when done, but now the redness is fading and some of the spots on my hand seem to be darker than they were before.  Is this typical for this type of treatment?  I did quite a bit of research prior to having the procedure done and was told this was one of the most effective treatments to eliminate age spots.  
I was also told to apply antibiotic cream (Neosporin) 3-4 times a day for the next 4 days and the age spots would gradually heal and flake off gradually and would disappear completely within a few weeks to a month.

Has anyone else ever had Q-switched Yag Laser treatment?  If so, did you have good results?  

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi .. I am how getting quite an assortment of age spots on my forehead and am looking for an effective and safe way deal with them. Can you please explain in better deal what the 'trace minerals' are and if this is safe ... along with the BioSil that you used? Thanks in advance. Joe

I have a better way to handle age spots (liver spots?). By better I mean less traumatic. I discovered this accidentally. I decided some years ago to bypass the mineral pills by adding trace minerals to each gallon of our drinking water. In addition to the trace minerals I added 16 drops of BioSil (a bioavailable form of silicon). After about six months I noticed that the large liver spot on my nose was gone (it was the only spot I had), and that all of my husband's were gone. As time went by by skin improved, my caluses were gone, my feet were soft.... And still more.
