Age Spots
As the name suggests, age spots occur as we age. They typically range from light brown to black in color and commonly appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, upper chest, back, arms, and hands.
These well-defined, flat patches usually result from overactive pigment cells, typically caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light which accelerates the production of melanin.
Age spots are most prevalent among adults over 40 and individuals, particularly those with pale skin, who spend extended periods in the sun. Primarily, those who work outdoors or have a history of tanning are at greater risk of developing the condition.
What are the signs of age spots?
Age spots appear as flat, round or oval, brown, tan, or black patches on the skin. They are smooth to the touch and have a consistent color. Size can range from a few millimeters to two centimeters, and while some individuals may have only a few age spots, others might have hundreds scattered across their skin.

The good news is that age spots are usually harmless, so there’s no urgency to remove them, unless, of course, you dislike their appearance. Our highly skilled providers at Gilded Leaf MedSpa use the latest technology and techniques to banish unwanted age spots leaving you with flawless skin.
