AGE SPOTS
AGE SPOTS
Ageing and sun exposure can bring unwelcome surprises, like brown age spots that gradually appear on your skin. Luckily, our effective treatments can significantly reduce or completely eliminate their appearance.
ABOUT THE CONDITION
Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigo, are typically an unwanted consequence of the skin’s natural ageing process and sun exposure. A result of excess melanin (skin pigment) being stimulated, age spots look like an area of uneven skin tone or pigmentation.
Age spots are most common on the shoulders, neck, chest, backs of the hands or any sun-exposed areas.
CAUSES
Age spots can occur during pregnancy due to extreme hormonal changes, producing lesions known as melasma. The following factors also contribute to the development of age spots:
- Sun exposure
- Environmental Factors
- Having fair skin
- Natural ageing process
