Age Spots

Summary Content

Age spots, also known as liver or sunspots, are caused by an uneven distribution of melanin—the natural pigment that helps protect your skin from UV rays. Over time, as the skin’s ability to combat sun damage decreases, these dark patches commonly appear on the face, hands, and décolleté, revealing signs of aging. At Calgary Vein & Laser, we offer a range of advanced treatments to reduce the appearance of age spots and restore a youthful complexion. Our customized solutions include chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and VariLite Laser therapy, all designed to fade dark spots, even skin tone, and rejuvenate your skin. With minimal recovery time and noticeable results in just weeks, book your free consultation today to explore your personalized treatment plan! 

Reclaim Your Youthful Glow: Expert Age Spot Removal at Calgary Vein & Laser

What Are Age Spots?

Age spots, also known as liver spots or sunspots, are flat, dark patches that appear on areas of the skin frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. They are caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour.

Whether you’re experiencing age spots due to sun damage or aging, treatment is suitable for anyone with the following symptoms seeking to improve their skin’s appearance:

  • Flat, darkened patches of skin
  • Typically brown, black, or grey in colour
  • Commonly found on sun-exposed areas (face, hands, arms, shoulders)
  • Usually painless and non-irritating
  • Often appear in clusters
  • Develop gradually over time due to sun exposure or aging
