Anti-Aging Q&A

What are age spots?

Age spots, also called sun spots or liver spots, are small circular or oval dark patches on your skin. The spots are areas of hyperpigmentation that often show up on your face, arms, or the backs of your hands.

What causes age spots?

Research points to an excessive production of melanin as the cause for brown age spots. There are several triggers that may be responsible for revving up melanin production, including:

  • Sun exposure

  • Sunburn

  • Tanning beds

  • Aging

  • Some medications

  • Hormonal changes
