Age spots
Age spots on the skin usually appear in men and women over 40 years old. These brown spots are often very visible and, as a result, they affect the self-esteem of many people.
The Victoria Park Medispa medical-aesthetic clinic offers solutions to reduce age spots with rejuvenating treatments based on the use of lasers or microneedles, which also improve the overall appearance of the skin.
What are age spots?
Age spots, also called sun spots or lentigo, are brown, oval or round, and flat. They are found on the areas of the body most exposed to the sun or to UV rays from tanning beds; they develop due to excessive melanin production. Alone or in groups, these spots are painless and have no particular texture.
With age, many people develop age spots on their face. These brown spots can also appear in younger women and men who are regularly exposed to the sun without protection. Because age spots on the face, as well as age spots on the hands, are particularly visible, they trouble many people. The medical-aesthetic health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa offer minimally invasive treatments to restore well-being.
Different types of age spots
At Victoria Park Medispa, different types of brown age spots are identified and treated, depending on whether they are found on the skin of the face or hands. These spots, which can measure a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter, can range in color from pale brown to black. Other types of red or brown pigmented spots resulting from sun damage can also be corrected.
Factors that cause age spots
Sun exposure remains the main factor triggering the appearance of age spots on the skin. People with fair skin are the most likely to be affected. Some studies show that another factor can be pointed out: pollution. Indeed, researchers have established a correlation between sun exposure, environmental pollution, and the development of pigmented spots.
As a preventive measure, it is necessary to avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., apply sunscreen, and wear a hat and long clothing. Although harmless, age spots should be seen by a doctor if their appearance, shape, or size changes over time. For aesthetic concerns, age spots can be significantly reduced with the solutions offered at Victoria Park Medispa, regardless of their location on the body or face.

The best treatments for age spots
Thanks to intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser, it is possible to reduce the appearance of age spots with treatments such as Forever Young BBL and LUMECCA Photorejuvenation. These treatments improve age spots on the skin by up to 75%. Moreover, they stimulate collagen and elastin, for rejuvenated and radiant skin from the first session. Discomfort, redness, or slight swelling will disappear about an hour after treatment.
For age spots, other care and medical products may be recommended, such as diamond microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

Before and after a treatment for age spots: some advice
An initial consultation with a health professional at Victoria Park Medispa is required before undertaking a medical-aesthetic treatment. Following an evaluation, the best treatment options are proposed.
Each patient receives precise instructions: for an IPL treatment, for example, it will be necessary to avoid the sun for up to 4 weeks before and after the session, as well as the application of certain products. Even though it is possible to return to daily activities immediately after treatment, exercise and sauna are not recommended for some time.
In summary
Age spots are mainly caused by excessive sun exposure, but pollution and natural aging can also play a role.
These brown pigmented spots frequently form on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.
Victoria Park Medispa offers treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL), Forever Young BBL, LUMECCA photorejuvenation, as well as diamond microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of the spots, but a noticeable improvement is often visible from the first session.
