Restoring Clarity and Confidence to Sun-Damaged Skin
Age spots, sun spots, and liver spots are common forms of pigmentation that develop over time due to cumulative sun exposure. These flat, darkened areas most often appear on the face, hands, shoulders, arms, and other sun-exposed areas. While they are benign, they can make skin appear older or uneven and may increase in number or darkness over time.
At SkinSol Dermatology & Aesthetics in Boca Raton, we evaluate and treat age-related pigmentation with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. Our providers focus on confirming a benign diagnosis, improving skin tone, and creating personalized treatment and prevention plans to support long-term skin health.
What Are Age, Sun, and Liver Spots?
Age spots, also known as solar lentigines or liver spots, are areas of increased pigmentation caused by prolonged ultraviolet exposure. Despite the name, liver spots are not related to liver health.
These spots appear as flat, tan to dark brown patches with well-defined borders and are more common with age and chronic sun exposure. Although they are harmless, some pigmented lesions may resemble more serious conditions, making professional evaluation important.
How Age, Sun, and Liver Spots Are Treated
Treatment depends on the size, location, depth, and number of pigmented spots, as well as overall skin health. The goal is to safely lighten or remove pigmentation while preserving surrounding skin.
At our Boca Raton dermatology practice, treatment options may include prescription topical therapies, medical-grade skincare, and in-office procedures when appropriate. Sun protection and maintenance strategies are essential components of long-term management.
The Benefits of Medical Treatment for Age and Sun Spots
