How Treating Age Spots (Sun Spots) Works
Treating age spots involves reducing excess pigmentation and restoring even skin tone. Dermatological options include chemical peels, cryotherapy, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and prescription creams with retinoids or hydroquinone to gradually fade dark patches. These methods target melanin buildup, breaking it down safely to achieve brighter, more radiant skin. Lifestyle changes such as regular sun protection and hydrating skincare also play a crucial role in long-term prevention. At Derma Redefined clinic, Dr. Sampurna offers personalized treatments tailored to individual skin types and concerns, ensuring safe, effective, and natural-looking results. With advanced care and expert guidance, age spots can be visibly reduced, helping patients achieve clearer, youthful, and confident skin.
Understanding the Age Spots (Sun Spots)
Age spots often catch people by surprise, leaving them wondering why their skin suddenly looks uneven. They usually develop from years of accumulated sun exposure, where UV rays trigger excess melanin production in the skin. Over time, these pigmented patches become permanent, especially on exposed areas like the face and hands. Genetics, aging, and tanning habits can make some people more prone to them. It’s natural to feel frustrated when these dark patches appear, as they can make skin look older. But age spots are not a reflection of poor care—they’re simply the skin’s response to long-term sun exposure. The good news is, with professional dermatological treatments and proper protection, these spots can be reduced and prevented, helping skin regain its natural clarity.
