What Causes Age Spots & Sun Damage?
Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, dark patches that develop on sun-exposed areas of the skin. They result from an overproduction of melanin—the pigment responsible for your skin's color—which is directly triggered by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sun damage accumulates over time, breaking down collagen and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.
Factors like your genetics, your age, and recent hormonal changes can also contribute to the development of age spots and skin damage. Understanding these causes is the first step toward selecting effective treatments that restore your skin's health and luminosity, and our skincare experts will help you get to the root of your sun damage or age spots.
