Age Spots Treatments

Age spots, also known as solar lentigines or sun spots/liver spots, typically appear in adults over the age of 40, as flat brown, grey or black spots on the skin. These spots become more apparent as we age, significantly in those who have been exposed to high levels of sun.

What are Age Spots?

Age spots commonly appear on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, chest and shoulders, varying in size and shade. Developing naturally over time due to years of UV exposure, age spots present as patches of pigmentation, caused by overactive pigment cells. As the skin becomes increasingly exposed to the sun, melanin is periodically produced, darkening the skin to provide natural sun protection. This commonly leads to the clumping of melanin, as it is produced in high concentrations, appearing unevenly on the dermis as blemishes or sunspots.

Whilst ageing plays a significant role in the development and production of age spots, several factors can exacerbate their risk, such as frequent and excessive sun exposure with inadequate sun protection, the use of sunbeds and a lighter skin tone.

When age spots do begin to appear, the complexion can become dull and uneven. Certain treatments work excellently in reducing their appearance, restoring a bright and even skin tone. Get in touch to find out how we can treat your pigmentation concerns and age spots.
