Understanding Age Spots: Causes and Professional Treatment Options

Age spots — also called sun spots — are one of the most common signs of skin aging. They often appear as flat or raised, brown patches or plaques on areas frequently exposed to the sun such as the face, hands, and shoulders. Although they’re harmless, many people wish to remove them for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

What Causes Age Spots?

The main cause of age spots is sun exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) rays accelerate melanin production in your skin, leading to concentrated pigment areas over time. Genetics and hormonal changes can also play a role. As we age, our skin’s natural repair process slows, making these spots more visible.

Treatment Options at Ariana Esthetic

At Ariana Esthetic in Edmonton, we offer safe and effective laser treatments that target and break down pigment under the skin. Our physician, Dr. Sara Hashemzadeh, customizes each procedure based on your skin type and pigmentation level to ensure visible improvement.

Laser therapy stimulates new collagen production, gradually evening out the skin’s tone and texture. Results can often be seen after just a few sessions, with minimal downtime.

Professional Care Makes the Difference

Unlike home remedies or over-the-counter creams, medical laser treatments provide deeper, long-lasting results. Our clinic uses advanced technology to precisely target age spots without damaging surrounding tissue.
