How To Remove Age Spots

Since age spots are caused by exposure to the sun, the best way to deal with these spots is to use a sunscreen with a high-SPF level. The SPF level determines how long you can stand in the sun without really getting ‘toasted’. A good sunscreen lotion protects against both UVB and UVA rays. When you’re out in the sun for long hours, it’s best to apply your sunscreen at frequent intervals and wash it off when you are back home.

Using an exfoliating facial scrub once a week can help you battle against age or sun spots. The scrub supplements
skin cell regeneration which is nothing but the replacement of cells that have been damaged by the sun. It is this quick replacement of damaged cells with new cells that prevents the occurrence of age spots.

A microdermabrasion treatment is a safe and reliable option. It does not require you to use harsh bleaching creams to get rid of your age spots. Here, an expert sprays your skin with microcrystals that removes the outermost layer of dry and dead skin cells. This removal leads to the revelation of younger and smooth looking skin. Microdermabrasion also adds to the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells that have higher levels of elastin and collagen. The production of the new cells can help complement the look of your skin.

Dermabrasion is yet another option that can help you get rid of your age spots. However, it is an extremely intensive procedure and is used to eradicate deep facial lines, blemishes, scars and extreme damages caused by the sun.

Laser therapy! Think about it, it works, but may be extremely painful. Laser rays target the pigments in your age spots and help in eliminating them. The spots become lighter because the pigment is absorbed by the body’s immune system. Laser therapy can permanently rid you of your age spots, but you may require more than a few sessions to achieve the same.

Nice tips. I think that there is no way to prevent hereditary age spots. However, those caused by sun exposure can be prevented through effective protection from the sun. Wearing protective clothing and using a sunscreen with at least SPF 15, as well as limiting time spent in the sun, can reduce the appearance of age spots and other skin conditions.
