Age Spots
Age spots—often called sun spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines—are one of the most common signs of environmental skin changes. For women navigating aesthetic wellness, they can be a source of frustration, often making the complexion look uneven or tired even when the skin is perfectly healthy.
Here is a comprehensive content kit for Age Spots & Sun Damage tailored for Dr. Anurag’s derma-wellness platform, focusing on education, advanced solutions, and a proactive approach to graceful aging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on how deep and dark the spots are, many patients see a dramatic clearance after just 1 to 3 targeted laser sessions. Dr. Anurag will evaluate the depth of your pigmentation during your digital skin analysis to give you an accurate, transparent timeline.
Once a specific pigment clump is shattered and cleared by the laser, that exact spot is gone. However, because your skin retains its “memory” of past sun damage, new age spots can develop in adjacent areas if the skin is left unprotected. Consistent, daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is your absolute best insurance policy to maintain your clear results.
In the vast majority of cases, age spots are completely benign (harmless). However, because skin cancers can sometimes mimic the appearance of a dark spot, it is vital to have a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Anurag evaluate any new or changing spots. If a spot grows rapidly, has an irregular border, bleeds, or changes color drastically, book an evaluation immediately.
They Can Help You
Over-the-counter brightening creams can fade very superficial sun damage, but true, deeply rooted age spots require medical-grade wavelengths to safely shatter the pigment clumps without injuring the surrounding tissue.
