Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots appearing on areas of the body primarily exposed to ultraviolet light such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
What is it?
Age spots and uneven pigmentation are an expected occurance of the skin's natural aging process. They typically appear as small, flat, darkened patches of varying sizes. These spots usually form on areas exposed to ultraviolet light, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
Age spots can affect individuals of any skin type but are most frequently seen in adults over the age of 50, particularly those with fair complexions. Unlike freckles, these spots won't fade or lighten naturally with time. While generally harmless and requiring no medical treatment, if their appearance bothers you, our team of skincare experts can help.
