What are Sun and Age Spots?

Sun spots, age spots, and liver spots are terms used to describe flat, brown, or black spots that appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, hands, and shoulders. These dark spots on the skin develop due to prolonged sun exposure and can indicate skin aging. Understanding their causes and treatment options is essential for achieving a clear, youthful complexion.

 

 

What Causes Liver Spots and Dark Spots?

  • Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun stimulate melanin production, leading to dark spots on the face and body.
  • Aging: As skin ages, it becomes more prone to skin pigmentation issues, including brown spots and dark patches.
  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions like pregnancy or menopause can trigger melasma, another form of hyperpigmentation.
  • Genetics: A family history of skin spots can increase your likelihood of developing age spots.

  • Flat and round in shape
  • Brown, black, or tan in color
