Brown Spots and Discoloration

Brown spots – also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” – are non-cancerous spots appearing on areas of the body primarily exposed to ultraviolet light.

What is it?

Age spots and uneven pigmentation are a standard part of the skin's aging process. They are small, level, discolored and dark patches varying in dimensions. They commonly form on parts of the skin that have been exposed to ultraviolet radiation, such as sunlight, tanning beds or sunlamps, on areas like the face, hands, shoulders and arms.

These spots can affect individuals of all skin types but are most prevalent in adults (usually over 50 years old) with a fair complexion. Contrary to freckles, age spots do not lighten with time. They are benign and do not require medical intervention, but if you're unhappy with their look, we are here to help.
