Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are flat, brown spots that typically appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as face, hands, and shoulders. These spots develop over time due to an accumulation of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, as a response to sun exposure. While they are harmless, many people seek ways to even out their skin tone and reduce the appearance of age spots, and at Skinnovations, we have solutions.
