Age Spots / Brown Spots
Age spots are flat brown-black spots that usually occur in sun-exposed areas on the
body. Age spots are sometimes called brown spots liver spots, or sun spots. They
are completely unrelated to the liver or liver function. Liver spots, et al. are changes in
the skin color associated with older skin. The increased pigmentation of age spots is
brought on by aging, exposure to sun or to other forms of ultraviolet lights.
Age spot removal is a painless procedure. Using the Palomar Starlux tm, we treat
the affected areas. Depending on the individual, the spots usually get gradually
darker over the next few days, and start to turn into very thin scabs. They then just fall
off to reveal clear skin underneath. Some people require more than on treatment.
A free consultation at our office will evaluate your particualar situation, to determine
your best course of treatment.
