What are age spots?

Age spots as a term refers to the brown spots that appear on the skin. Although age spots can be seen on the areas like neck, hands and back they are most commonly seen on the face.

Age spots on face are generally harmless and do not cause any pain or physical discomfort, but having those dark spots on the face can be a little frustrating for women. This is because age spots distort the appearance of the face and make the women look older. In many cases age spots can be removed with proper treatment.

Causes of Age Spots on Face

Some people have very little melanin pigment and their skin is not very affective to protect from the sun exposure and when the sun is shining down on them, the body doesn’t know how to respond properly. The result can be abnormal melanin pigment that forms spots.

Apart from this, age spots can also occur due to genetic conditions, nutritional deficiencies and in very rare conditions, due to impaired functioning of the liver.

How to Remove Age Spots on Face

Now, there are a variety of treatments for age spots on face removal from which you can choose the one that suits you the best. There are several options for getting rid of the age spots on face that you have to discuss with dermatologist

• The most expensive way of treating age spots is laser treatment. Tthe age spots are removed by taking off the surface layer of the skin that is affected. Another option to get rid of age spots is cryosurgery which is done by destroying the unwanted skin cells through freezing.

• Another way of getting rid of age spots on face is chemical peels. For this treatment procedure, the dermatologist will apply a thin layer of chemical solution which contains glycolic acid on the face and when this layer is taken off, the age spots also come off. Though this is an effective treatment, one will need more than one session to actually clear the face from all the age spots which can be a little expensive.

• In most cases fade cream or anti-aging cream that is made of skin bleaching agents, especially hydroquinone may be helpful for age spots on face removal.
