Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are flat, brown patches that appear on the skin due to years of sun exposure. These spots, often found on the face, hands, and other areas regularly exposed to UV rays, result from an overproduction of melanin in the skin. While age spots are harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for many, contributing to an uneven skin tone and an older appearance.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to effectively reduce or remove these brown spots, IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy is a great solution. At Privvy Modern Health, we offer IPL treatments that target pigmentation, breaking down age spots and revealing clearer, more youthful skin.
Why do age spots form?
Age spots, or sun spots, form as a result of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds. Over time, UV rays accelerate the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, in certain areas of the skin. This causes clumps of melanin to accumulate, leading to dark, flat patches on the surface of the skin, usually in areas most exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.
As we age, our skin’s ability to repair UV damage diminishes, making these spots more noticeable in people over 40. Though harmless, age spots can be a visible sign of skin aging, often causing cosmetic concern for those who want a more even complexion.
How can Privvy Modern Health help me?
At Privvy Modern Health, we find that IPL therapy is the best solution for age spots. IPL therapy is a highly effective treatment for removing age spots by using precise bursts of light energy to target pigmented areas of the skin. During the treatment, the light penetrates the surface and is absorbed by the melanin in the age spots. This process breaks down the pigment into smaller particles, which are naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system.
Over time, the spots fade, revealing clearer, more evenly toned skin. IPL is non-invasive, requires little to no downtime, and can treat multiple spots in one session.
