What Is Age Spot Treatment?
“Solar lentigines,” also known as age spots or liver spots, are most common in people over the age of 40, but just about anyone can have age spots. The brown areas can be caused by aging, but sun exposure is also a common reason why Floridians are affected by age spots. The dark color is a result of high melanin, or pigment, in the skin, and age spots can be brown or black.

Dr. Farber may recommend age spot treatment if you have the dark areas of pigmentation in places that you feel are cosmetically unappealing. While laser treatments are considered quite safe, Dr. Farber will review your medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure.
