Skin Concern
Age Spots
understanding your concern
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots are a common skin concern that develop over time due to sun exposure and natural ageing. They appear as flat, darker patches on the skin and are most often found on areas frequently exposed to UV light, such as the face, hands, chest and shoulders. Although age spots are harmless, they can make the skin look uneven, dull and prematurely aged.
At Serene Skin & Beauty, we offer advanced treatments to reduce the appearance of age spots and restore a clearer, more even complexion.
Age spots can vary in appearance, but commonly present as:
- Brown, tan or dark patches on the skin
- Flat areas of pigmentation
- Clusters of uneven colour
- Patches that darken with sun exposure
They are sometimes referred to as sun spots or liver spots, and often become more noticeable from your 40s onwards — though they can appear earlier with high sun exposure.
the causes
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots form when excess melanin — the pigment that gives skin its colour — accumulates in certain areas. This is usually triggered by:
- Long-term sun exposure
- UV damage over the years
- Age-related changes in skin regeneration
- Lack of consistent sun protection
the solution
How We Treat Age Spots
Professional treatments work by targeting excess pigment in the skin and encouraging a more even tone. Our approach focuses on safely breaking down pigmentation while supporting healthy skin renewal.
Treatment plans may help to:
- Lighten and reduce visible pigmentation
- Improve overall skin tone and clarity
- Reduce sun damage-related discolouration
- Support long-term skin health
Results are often progressive, with pigmentation continuing to improve over a series of treatments.
Professional vs At-Home
Why Professional Treatment Matters
Over-the-counter products often have limited impact on deeper pigmentation. Professional treatments work at a deeper level of the skin where age spots form, providing more noticeable and longer-lasting results.
Early treatment can also help prevent pigmentation from becoming darker or spreading further, making it easier to achieve and maintain a clearer, more even complexion over time.
