Age spots – also known as liver spots – are unsightly blemishes that can develop on the face and back of the hands as we age. Though they aren’t dangerous or cancerous, they can cause your skin to appear old and weathered before you’re ready.
At Marcus Medical, we offer a wide range of treatment options to eliminate age spots and restore your clear and youthful skin.
An Overview of Age Spots
Age spots resemble large freckles that appear on the surface of the skin. They are most common among older individuals with a history of sun exposure, though they can develop at any time. Some of the most distinct characteristics of age spots include:
- They are located on areas of the skin that receive a lot of sun exposure, including the face, hands, arms and shoulders.
- They appear most often on fair skin. Although age spots can occur on men and women with darker skin, they are much more common among individuals with lighter complexions.
- They are small brown or black circles that may be slightly raised or lie flat against the skin.
- They tend to develop as clusters of tiny brown spots in one area, making them even more noticeable.
