Do You Have Age Spots?
Age spots, also known as liver spots, are flat, brownish patches of skin discoloration. They mainly appear on the skin where you get the most sun exposure, including:
- Face
- Arms
- Hands
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Feet
Age spots can range in size from tiny specks to half an inch wide. They're usually light or dark brown but may occasionally appear black.
Age spots typically begin as individual blotches, but they often cluster over time, making them more noticeable.
Most people begin to notice age spots after 40, but they can appear earlier, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors or use tanning beds.
Causes of Age Spots
Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or indoor tanning beds causes faster production of the pigment that gives skin its color (melanin).
This can lead to age spots, especially after years of exposure.
Some people have a genetic tendency toward developing age spots, and other factors, including an unhealthy diet, may also contribute.
Treatment Options For Age Spots
At SafiraMD, we offer several advanced options:
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser technology gently removes the uppermost layers of discolored skin. It simultaneously promotes new collagen growth and cellular turnover. Over time, the age spots flake off, and healthy, fresh skin replaces them. This option is effective for treating deeper pigmentation and provides lasting results with minimal downtime.
- Chemical Peels: By applying a special solution to the skin, containing ingredients such as fruit acids, this treatment exfoliates dead cells and helps lighten age spots. Different peel strengths are available, tailored to your skin type and goals.
- HydraFacial:Â This non-invasive, soothing treatment uses a patented device to cleanse, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin. When combined with brightening serums, it can visibly minimize brown spots while improving skin tone and texture.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Also known as a photofacial, IPL delivers pulses of light energy that target pigmentation without harming surrounding skin. It's ideal for reducing brown spots on the face, chest, and hands.
