Age spots – also called liver spots and solar lentigines – are spots of UV damage to the skin from hyperactive pigments. We cannot see a lot of these sun damage spots till they surface, our Visia skin scan can help determine where these areas are for preventative treatments.

Protecting our skin from the sun is the best way to prevent age spots. Try to stay away from the sun between the hours of 10am – 3pm, when the sun’s rays are most intense.
Use sunglasses to help protect the skin around your eyes when you are under sun exposure.
Use high quality sunscreens, preferably with SPF ratings of at least 30 and contain both UVA and UVB protection. Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before exposure, and re-apply frequently, more often if swimming or perspiring.
Wear protective clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, or pants to protect your skin from UV rays.
Skin treatment therapies rich in Vitamin A and C, arbutin, carotene and liquorice increase fairness. Treatments such as microdermabrasion, low level light laser therapies are effective and proven to lighten age spots and sun damage spots.
