Age spots, also known as liver spots or sunspots, are flat, brown, or black spots that appear on the skin due to sun exposure over time. These spots are most common in areas that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. While age spots are generally harmless, many people seek treatment to reduce their appearance for a more even and youthful skin tone.

As we age, the skin’s ability to regenerate decreases, and UV exposure over the years leads to increased melanin production, which results in these spots. Fortunately, there are several effective treatments to lighten or eliminate age spots and restore a more radiant complexion.
