What are the risk
factors for age spots?

The main risk factors for developing age spots are:

  • History of sunburn
  • Sun exposure
  • Light-colored skin
  • Being over 50

The best way to reduce the risk of developing age spots is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outdoors during the late morning and early afternoon, the times when the sun produces the most intense rays.

What are the common
treatments for age spots?

If you have age spots and want clearer, even-toned skin, the Adult and Pediatric Dermatology team will recommend one or more of the following:
Laser or pulsed light treatment
Laser and pulsed light energy destroy pigment-producing skin cells without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Medications
Using prescribed medications designed to reduce age spots can diminish their appearance, making the spots gradually fade away.
Cryotherapy
Freezing (cryotherapy) treats age spots by destroying pigmented tissues.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are techniques that sand away outer skin layers and stimulate new skin production, reducing the appearance of age spots and other imperfections.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the outermost damaged skin cells, allowing newer skin cells to develop in their place.
