Age Spots

Treating age spots isn’t just about fading dark patches — it’s about restoring that even, radiant complexion that makes you feel confident going makeup-free. When we address pigmentation effectively, your entire face looks brighter and more youthful.

You’ll notice improved skin tone that photographs beautifully in all lighting, and makeup application becomes so much easier when you have an even base to work with. Many people find they need far less concealer and foundation once their pigmentation has faded.

Beyond the cosmetic benefits, treating age spots also stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce other signs of aging and creates overall skin improvement that goes beyond just the pigmentation.

Age spots are areas of concentrated melanin (pigment) in your skin. They’re incredibly common and completely natural — they appear as darkened patches that can affect any part of your body, though they’re most noticeable on areas that get sun exposure like your face, hands, and chest.

Pigmentation like this is caused by your skin producing excess melanin, usually in response to sun damage accumulated over years. Even if you’ve been careful with sun protection recently, these spots often reflect sun exposure from decades ago finally showing up.

Hormones, aging, and sometimes acne scarring can also contribute to pigmentation. The key is identifying what type of pigmentation you have, as this determines the most effective treatment approach.

The most effective approach to age spots combines professional treatments with targeted medical-grade skincare for comprehensive pigmentation reduction.

Professional treatments:

• Medical-grade chemical peels that safely remove the damaged upper layers of skin
• Microneedling to promote healthy skin turnover and fade pigmentation
• Advanced treatments that target melanin production at the cellular level

Medical-grade skincare:

• Customized routines with proven lightening agents that actually penetrate your skin
• Products containing vitamin A derivatives that repair skin on a cellular level
• Ongoing guidance to prevent new spots from forming

The combination approach works because pigmentation exists at different depths in your skin. Treating it comprehensively ensures better, longer-lasting results than any single approach alone.

If you’ve tried to fade age spots before without lasting success, you’re not alone. Many people get frustrated when pigmentation seems to return or new spots appear despite their efforts.

This usually happens because the treatments weren’t strong enough to address the deeper pigmentation, or because ongoing sun exposure continued to trigger melanin production. Over-the-counter lightening products rarely contain high enough concentrations of active ingredients to create lasting change.

Medical-grade treatments work because they can actually reach and treat pigmentation at the level where it forms. Combined with proper sun protection and maintenance skincare, this creates results that last rather than just temporarily lightening the surface.
