What Are Age Spots
Age spots, also called sunspots or liver spots, develop over time due to prolonged sun exposure and the natural aging process. Without proper sun protection, both conditions can worsen and become more pronounced. Fortunately, advanced treatments can help lighten discoloration, even out skin tone, and restore a more radiant complexion.
What Are Age Spots
- Loss of Collagen and Elastin: Natural aging leads to a reduction in collagen and elastin, causing thinner, less elastic skin.
- Fat Loss and Volume Depletion: Over time, the fat layer under the skin diminishes, making veins and tendons more prominent.
- Sun Damage: UV exposure accelerates skin thinning, discoloration, and wrinkles, leading to age spots and uneven tone.
- Frequent Handwashing and Chemical Exposure: Harsh soaps, sanitizers, and environmental factors can strip moisture, drying out the skin and worsening crepey texture.
- Genetics and Lifestyle Factors: Some people naturally experience earlier hand aging due to genetics, smoking, or lack of skincare protection.
