Why spots appear
Ultraviolet exposure can create localized increases in pigment over time. Other pigment conditions can mimic age spots, which is why pattern recognition matters.
Possible treatment routes
Selected spots may respond to laser or light treatment, resurfacing or skin-care approaches. The best option depends on colour, depth, location, skin type and history.
Prevention remains important
Treating existing spots does not prevent new ones. Daily sun protection is one of the most important parts of maintaining an even result.
