postheadericon How can you get rid of age spots?



Age spots, liver spots, senile lentigines, or solar lentigines: call them what you will, but age spots are a common problem, and often times people are genetically predisposed to getting age spots. The most obvious causes are skin damage from either age or exposure to the sun, those little brown patches that pop up on your hands, arms, back, and chest are definitely not a welcome sight. Getting rid of age spots takes patience, like getting rid of scars or getting rid of wrinkles, the processes that remove age spots from your skin are controlled by your body and nothing more can be done than to help your body regenerate itself.

Since your genes give you your skin type they also influence how prone you are to age spots – but by far the biggest factor is how much sun exposure you’ve had. If you’ve inherited sensitive or delicate skin then sun exposure is likely to produce age spots at an earlier age – even as soon as your thirties. What is fairly certain though is that somewhere along the line, you will see the results of sun exposure in your face and body – and it may not be pretty. Despite their name and contrary to popular belief, age spots aren’t caused simply by your skin getting older. They are the visible effects of sun damage – if you lived to be 100 years old and had never been exposed to the sun, you wouldn’t have a single age spot.

There are a variety of treatments for age spot removal Redondo Beach. The cause of your age spot will determine the most effective method to help blend and control the problem. There are lots of Redondo Beach Spas that offers skin treatments like Skin laser Torrance and Laser Hair Removal Redondo Beach, helping you with your skin problems.

To start with, you may want to consider a fade cream which is simply a topical anti aging skin treatment that contains a skin bleaching agent; in the US this is usually hydroquinone. The level of the active ingredient is important; the fade cream will not work effectively if it contains only a small amount of the key active ingredient. The effect of a sufficiently strong fade cream will be to lighten the age spots gradually over time so they become less noticeable.

If you want a more instant result, you may prefer to opt for a chemical peel. Chemical peels that use glycolic acid work by removing the outer layers of skin and the age spots together. You need to be aware that a chemical peel won’t necessarily remove your age spots in one treatment. You may need repeated treatments in order to completely remove them.

If you want a more long lasting method of treating your age spots than a chemical peel – consider Fraxel Laser Treatment Manhattan Beach which eliminates the age spots by removing the surface layer of the skin. Laser treatment is extremely effective and likely to be much more long term than a chemical peel or but it can be costly.
