Age Spots

 For many, seeing age spots on your face reminds us growing older.  How can we turn the clock back on our skin to when it was smooth, even tone, and no discoloration? At the Skin Perfect Clinic, we offer many treatments to help fade the signs of aging.

 Age spots go by many names like liver spots, sun spots, blemishes, dyspigmentation, and the medical name is usually solar lentigo.

 Our skin care professionals, at The Skin Perfect Clinic have incorporated the latest scientific advances in the treatment of sun spots or age spots.  Please call us at 614 846 8420 to learn about all of the new treatments available.

 What causes age spots or liver spots?

 "Age spots" look like big freckles: they are flat and brownish but wider than a centimeter across. They are commonly found on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and lower arms. While freckles appear in children and can darken with the sun, age spots are due to a cumulative exposure to sunlight, do not change in color, and usually occur after the age of 40. Sometimes they are called "liver spots" but, in fact, they have nothing to do with the liver.

You do not have to treat age spots. However, if you do not like the looks of them, there are several options. Your doctor or dermatologist may freeze them with liquid nitrogen. You may buy a bleaching lotion or you may get a chemical peel to slightly diminish them.

Just like the name, age spots are just that.  They usually arise due to aging.  However, sun exposure without protection certainly speeds up the process.  Call us now to learn how to prevent age spots!
