Understanding Age Spots and How to Treat Them
Age spots, often referred to as liver spots, are flat, brown, gray, or black spots that typically appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin. While they are common and harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for many. At L.I.V.E. Wellness, we are dedicated to helping you achieve clearer, more radiant skin by offering effective treatments for age spots.
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots are primarily caused by prolonged sun exposure, which leads to an overproduction of melanin in the skin.
