Age Spots

Age spots usually affect people over the age of 50, and are also commonly described as liver spots or sun spots. Age spots are brown or darkened patches of skin primarily caused by excess sun exposure which leads to overproduction of melanin in the skin, and is why they are most often on exposed areas of the skin such as the face, shoulders, arms and hands. As these darker patches of skin are as a result of UV rays, they can also appear due to overuse of sunbeds or tanning lamps.

Much as any skin tone can be affected, it is more commonly an issue that presents in people with lighter coloured skin. Once an age spot has developed, it is unlikely that it will fade and this is the reason that many people will seek medical intervention to assist with reducing their appearance.

Age spots are normally identifiable as round or oval flat patches of darkened skin. They are not harmful, but can often be confused with other skin conditions that may be more concerning. It is important to ensure that before undergoing any treatment, you speak with our specialist team at Dr Nyla Medispa Clinic so we can correctly diagnose your condition during an in depth consultation.
