Many people assume that age spots (also known as liver spots) are an inevitable part of getting older and can't be reversed. However, modern skincare treatments can significantly reduce their appearance and restore a more even complexion.
At All Glow Med Spa, we offer science-based, non-invasive services that target pigmentation and rejuvenate your skin. Each of our clients receives a bespoke plan tailored to their skin type and concerns.
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots are flat brown patches that primarily occur when melanin, which is responsible for skin color, is over-produced. Factors that contribute to their development include:
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation accelerates melanin production. This causes dark spots to form on the skin.
- Aging: The skin’s ability to repair itself slows down as you get older. This makes discoloration more noticeable.
- Genetics: Some individuals have a family history of age spots and are more prone to developing them than others.
Age Spots vs. Melasma vs. Freckles
It’s easy to confuse age spots with other kinds of discoloration, such as melasma and freckles.
Melasma causes larger, often symmetrical, dark patches on the face. It may be triggered by hormones or the sun. Freckles are small, light brown spots that affect people of all ages and may fade without sun.
Unlike age spots, these types of discoloration tend to fluctuate depending on hormonal changes or UV exposure.
Age Spot Treatments at All Glow Med Spa
All Glow Med Spa uses non-invasive and minimally invasive therapies to diminish age spots and refresh the skin. During your initial consultation, one of our skilled practitioners will examine your skin and recommend a personalized care plan.
We often recommend one (or more) of the following services for age spot reduction.
Laser Pigment Removal
Laser technology targets pigmented areas and uses heat energy to break down excess melanin. Once the melanin is broken down, your body naturally eliminates it. This treatment minimizes age spots and improves skin texture.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to address unwanted pigmentation. It increases collagen production, promoting clarity and general skin health. This treatment is ideal for those who have multiple areas of discoloration.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel removes the top layer of the skin and reveals fresher, younger-looking skin underneath. Peels with specific ingredients like glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) lighten age spots and create a more even skin tone.
