What are Age Spots?
Age spots, also known as liver spots are flat brown, black, or grey patches that appear on the skin due to prolonged sun exposure. These age spots on face, hands, arms, and shoulders are common as the skin ages and produces excess melanin in certain areas. Although harmless, many people seek treatment to get rid of age spots and improve their overall skin appearance. At Renew Skin & Health Clinic, we provide advanced solutions for age spot treatment to help restore clearer, more even toned skin.
Our advanced laser effectively treats seborrhoeic keratosis and age spots, usually in just one session unless the area is extensive. You’ll see visible improvement quickly, with full healing typically within 10–14 days. Pricing is confirmed during an in person consultation.

Symptoms and Causes of Age Spots
Causes of Age Spots
- The most common cause of age spots include:
- Long term sun exposure and UV damage
- Ageing skin and slower cell regeneration
- Use of tanning beds
- Genetic factors
These factors lead to sun spots on face and other exposed areas where pigmentation becomes concentrated.
Symptoms of Age Spots
- Flat brown or dark patches on the skin
- Common on face, hands, shoulders, and brown spots on arms
- May appear as raised age spots in some cases
- Usually painless, but may occasionally feel dry or irritated
If you notice changes such as rapid growth, darkening, or irregular borders, it is important to rule out age spots and skin cancer with a professional assessment.
What Can Be Mistaken for Age Spots?
Certain skin conditions may resemble age spots, including:
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Early signs of skin cancer, age spots
A proper diagnosis ensures safe and effective liver spots treatment.
Why Am I Suddenly Getting Age Spots?
Sudden appearance of old age spots or new pigmentation is often linked to cumulative sun damage. Even if spots appear later in life, the damage usually builds up over years of UV exposure. Hormonal changes and ageing also contribute.
How Can I Prevent Age Spots?
To prevent age spots, consider:
- Daily use of high SPF sunscreen
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure
- Wearing protective clothing
- Regular skin care and hydration
Prevention helps reduce the risk of developing new age spots on skin over time.
