What are Age Spots?
Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, brown, or grayish patches that typically develop on areas of the skin exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, arms, and shoulders. These spots are caused by an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for giving skin its color. While age spots are harmless, they can be unsightly and may contribute to an aged or uneven complexion.

Benefits of Age Spot Treatments
Age spot treatments offer numerous benefits, including:
Improved Skin Tone: Age spot treatments can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
Enhanced Confidence: By addressing age spots, patients can feel more confident in their appearance and enjoy smoother, clearer skin.
Non-Invasive: Many age spot treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive, meaning they require little to no downtime and produce natural-looking results.
Customized Solutions: Our dermatologists tailor age spot treatments to each patient’s unique needs and goals, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Age Spot Treatment Procedure
At Snyder Dermatology, we offer a variety of age spot treatments to address your specific concerns. Depending on your skin type, the severity of your age spots, and your treatment goals, we may recommend one or more of the following options:
Laser Therapy: Laser treatments target and break down excess melanin in the skin, resulting in a reduction in the appearance of age spots.
Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use specialized solutions to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin underneath.
Topical Creams: Prescription-strength topical creams containing ingredients such as hydroquinone or retinoids can help lighten age spots over time.
During your initial consultation, our dermatologists will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
Age Spot Treatments Recovery and Results
The recovery process and results of age spot treatments vary depending on the specific treatment used. In general, most patients experience minimal downtime following their procedure, allowing them to return to their daily activities right away. However, some treatments may cause temporary redness, swelling, or peeling, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.
Results from age spot treatments are gradual and may become noticeable in the weeks following treatment as the skin heals and pigmentation fades. Depending on the treatment used, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Our dermatologists will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and maximize your results.
