Removal of age spots

What do age spots look like?

Age spots appear as areas of skin that are different shades of brown, yellow, red, white, or gray. Depending on the type of pigmentation, they can be:

• Flat or slightly raised above the skin surface.
• Oval, round, or irregular in shape.
• Evenly colored or with an uneven contour.

Additional symptoms may include dryness or roughness of the skin in the affected area.

Where do age spots most often occur?

Age spots can appear on any area of ​​the skin, but they most often occur in areas exposed to ultraviolet radiation:

• Face: nose, forehead, upper lip.
• Arms and shoulders: especially in older people age.

In young people under 30, pigmentation more often appears on the face, while in older people it can be localized on the hands and body.
