Age spots also known as liver spots, sun spots or solar lentigo become an unwanted consequence of sun exposure and the skin’s natural ageing process. Presenting as areas of uneven skin tone or pigmentation, age spots result when excess melanin (skin pigment) has been stimulated.

- Sun damage / exposure

Age spots are not just restricted to the facial area and are commonly present on the shoulders, neck, décolletage, backs of the hands or any sun-exposed areas.
TREATMENT SOLUTIONS:
SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
