Age Spots

Age spots, also known as sun spots or liver spots, develop as a result of prolonged exposure to UV light from the sun or tanning beds. Over time, this exposure triggers an overproduction of melanin in certain areas, leading to darkened patches or spots on the skin. Age spots commonly appear on areas frequently exposed to sunlight, like the face, hands, shoulders, and arms, and tend to increase with age.

Laser resurfacing is an effective treatment for addressing age spots, working by targeting and breaking down excess pigment, allowing the body to naturally remove it over time. Beyond treating age spots, laser resurfacing also tackles a range of skin concerns: it smooths fine lines and wrinkles, reduces acne scars, treats hyperpigmentation, and minimizes spider veins and capillaries. This treatment promotes collagen production and renews the skin’s surface, resulting in a brighter, more even skin tone and a refreshed, youthful appearance.
