Skin Concern >> Age Spots/ Sun Spots

“Age spots” often appear as large freckles and are sometimes brownish in color and less than a centimeter in diameter. They frequently occur on sun-exposed areas of the face, hands and arms. These are also called sun spots or liver spots, though they have nothing to do with the liver. They are more common as we grow older, which is why they are called age spots. While most brown spots are harmless, any new or changing spots should be evaluated by a dermatologist to exclude skin cancer.

You can help to protect against new age spots by decreasing exposure to the sun and wearing sunscreen every day on all exposed body parts. There are also many new treatments that can help with the appearance of age spots, so you can look your very best.
