Sun Spots
Description
Sun spots—also called age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines—are flat, brown patches on the skin that develop over time as a result of repeated sun exposure. These UV-induced brown macules most often appear on areas like the face, hands, shoulders, and chest, where the skin gets the most sunlight. While sun spots are harmless and not related to liver function, they can be a cosmetic concern for many people seeking clearer and more youthful-looking skin. Factors like aging, genetics, and even tanning beds can increase your risk of developing sun spots. Protecting your skin with sunscreen and wearing protective clothing is key to prevention, and safe, advanced treatments in South Korea—such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy—can help fade these unwanted spots for a brighter, more even complexion. If you notice any new or changing dark spots, it’s important to consult a medical professional to ensure they are benign and to receive the best care for your skin health.
