Age Spots
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots—also known as liver spots or sun spots—are flat, brown, gray, or black spots that typically develop on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, hands, shoulders, chest, and arms. They are caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, which accelerates melanin production in certain areas over time. Although age spots are harmless and non-cancerous, they can resemble other types of skin lesions, so it’s important to have them evaluated by a dermatology professional. Many people choose to treat age spots for cosmetic reasons, as they are often associated with premature skin aging and uneven skin tone.
Our Approach and Expertise
At The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we offer comprehensive, personalized care for the diagnosis and treatment of age spots, helping patients achieve clearer, more even-toned skin. Our board-certified dermatologists begin with a careful skin assessment to confirm the nature of your pigmentation and rule out any potentially harmful conditions, such as actinic keratoses or skin cancer.
We provide a range of effective, non-invasive treatment options tailored to your skin type and lifestyle. These may include laser treatments, chemical peels, cryotherapy, or topical brightening agents—each designed to safely reduce discoloration and stimulate skin renewal. We also offer advanced medical-grade skincare products to support long-term results and help prevent future pigmentation from forming.
Because sun exposure is the primary cause of age spots, we emphasize sun protection and preventive skin care as a core part of every treatment plan. With decades of experience and access to cutting-edge technology, our team is committed to helping you restore a more radiant, youthful complexion with results that look natural and feel empowering. Your skin is in expert hands with the dedicated team at The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery.
