Those unattractive brown spots that seem to multiply on our face, arms and elsewhere as we get older are often called “age spots” or “liver spots” – but in fact, they aren’t caused by aging or the liver!
In fact, these brown spots are usually a result of sun exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition. If your parents had age spots, you may be more likely to have them as well. Because our faces are more exposed to the sun, that is where they tend to appear first.
Just because they are almost inevitable, that doesn’t mean they are untreatable. Because age spots fall under the category of hyperpigmentation of the skin, they tend to respond very well to modern laser treatments, using technology such as the Cutera LimeLight IPL, the Cutera Laser Genesis, or a combination of the two.
We are proud to offer this service at both our downtown Toronto and North York locations and are happy to service customers from the Mississauga area.
