Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are benign skin discolorations that mainly occur on the hands, face, arms and décolleté. They are caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation and often become visible from middle age. Although they are harmless, age spots can be cosmetically disturbing.
What causes age spots?
The main cause of age spots is a build-up of melanin in the skin, caused by:
- UV radiation: Sun damage is the biggest culprit.
- Age: As the skin ages, cell division slows down and pigment spots can develop.
- Genetic predisposition: Some people develop pigment spots more quickly than others.
