As we age, our skin can develop these dark pigmentations, we call
solar lentigines, more commonly known as age spots. They are a constant
reminder that our skin has seen better days, but they don't have to be.
Science has developed new treatments which are able to renew and
improve our skin by removing these age spots. These treatments are
highly effective at reducing or removing the dark spots on the skin.
And if we remain out of the sun, they do not have to come back.
Age spots — also called liver spots and solar lentigines — are flat,
gray, brown or black spots. They vary in size and usually appear on the
face, hands, shoulders and arms — areas most exposed to the sun. Though
age spots are very common in adults older than age 40, they can affect
younger people as well.
True age spots are harmless and don't need treatment, but they can look
like cancerous growths. For cosmetic reasons, age spots can be
lightened with skin-bleaching products or removed. However, preventing
age spots — by avoiding the sun and using sunscreen — may be the
easiest way to maintain your skin's youthful appearance and to avoid
these dark skin spots.
