Age spots are flat, brownish areas of skin. They are an accumulation of pigment or melanin that builds up over the years and signal an increased risk of skin cancer.

Age spots can be prevented by avoiding the sun and by applying sunscreen liberally before stepping foot outside. Available treatment options include bleaching creams, chemical peels, fotofacials, and laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing is perhaps the most effective method of removing the age spots.

Laser resurfacing uses a high-powered laser to remove the epidermis and cut just deeply enough to remove the wrinkles, age spots, and other imperfections. It can all be done in one to two visits and have minimal recovery time required.
