Brown Spots

What are Brown Spots?

Brown spots, also known as age spots or liver spots, are those small freckle-like marks that appear on the face, shoulders, arms, hands, and chest. These are the common areas because they see the most amount of sun exposure. Age spots are harmless and do not require any medical attention, but for cosmetic reasons, many people want them removed.

How are they Caused?

Brown spots are the result of overactive pigment cells and excess melanin. Melanin is what gives our skin its dark pigmentation. Ultraviolet (UV) rays accelerate the production of melanin, and allow it to produce in clumps & higher concentrations. When enough melanin is concentrated in one area, a brown spot develops.
