Age Spots
Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, darkened patches of skin that commonly appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, arms, shoulders, and feet. At Inner Beauty & Skin in Clovis, CA, we treat patients who notice these spots as they age, particularly those over 40. Age spots range from freckle-sized to larger than half an inch and may vary in color from light brown to black, often appearing in clusters.

-
Although medically benign, many individuals seek cosmetic treatments to minimize or remove age spots. Treatment options include:
Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen)
Bleaching creams
Microdermabrasion
Chemical peels
-
Following treatment, it is important to keep the skin hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
-
Age spots are primarily caused by cumulative exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light but may also result from tanning bed use, skin trauma, or genetic predisposition. People with fair skin or a history of frequent sunburns are at greater risk.
While most age spots are harmless, spots that change color, grow rapidly, itch, or bleed should be evaluated by a medical professional to rule out malignancy.
Prevention Tips
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Wear UV-blocking clothing and wide-brimmed hats
Limit sun exposure, especially during peak hours
-
Downtime may vary depending on treatment performed and individual response.
