What Are Age Spots?

Age spots, also known as liver spots, are flat, brown spots that can appear on the skin as people age. They are usually caused by years of exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can damage the skin and cause the pigment-producing cells to produce too much pigment in certain areas. Age spots are most common on areas of the skin that have received the most sun exposure, such as the face, hands, and arms.

What is Sun Damaged Skin?

Sun-damaged skin refers to a range of skin changes that result from exposure to the sun's UV rays. This can include wrinkles, fine lines, rough patches, dryness, and pigmentation changes such as age spots. Sun damage can also increase a person's risk of developing skin cancer.

Why Treat Age Spots and Sun Damaged Skin?

Treating age spots and sun-damaged skin can help improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. There are many treatments available for age spots and sun-damaged skin, including topical medications, chemical peels, and laser therapy. These treatments can help lighten or remove age spots, depending on their severity. 

It is important to protect your skin from the sun to prevent further damage. This includes wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen with a high SPF, seeking shade when possible, and avoiding the sun during peak hours of the day.
