Age spots, also known as liver spots, sun spots, or solar lentigo, are unwanted skin blemishes that develop as a result of sun exposure and the natural aging process. These spots appear as areas of uneven skin tone or pigmentation, arising from the overstimulation of melanin, the skin’s pigment.
Age spots form primarily due to two main factors:
These spots are not limited to the facial area and are commonly found on the shoulders, neck, décolletage, backs of the hands, or any other areas that have been exposed to the sun.
The primary factor contributing to age spots is prolonged and cumulative exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays
As people age, their skin undergoes natural changes that can make it more prone to developing age spots
Genetic predisposition can play a role in the development of age spots
Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy, can trigger the development of age spots
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and contribute to various signs of aging, including age spots
