Restore a clearer, more even-looking complexion when years of sun exposure begin showing up as brown spots, uneven pigmentation, freckles, or rough texture. At New You Center, we carefully evaluate your skin and personalize treatment based on what we see.
Fade Years of Visible Sun Exposure
Sun damage develops gradually as ultraviolet (UV) exposure affects your skin. You may notice freckles, uneven pigmentation, rougher skin texture, or flat brown patches commonly called age spots. Despite the name, age spots aren’t caused by age alone: they’re largely linked to sun exposure. They tend to appear in areas that see the most sunlight, including your face, chest, shoulders, arms, and hands, and often become more noticeable as the years pass.
Signs & Symptoms of Age Spots / Sun Damage:
- Flat brown, tan, or darker spots on sun-exposed skin
- Freckles that become darker or more noticeable over time
- Uneven or blotchy pigmentation
- Redness or visible small blood vessels
- Rough, dry, or uneven skin texture
- Skin that looks dull or less vibrant
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Treatment for Age Spots / Sun Damage
Treating sun damage starts with understanding exactly what you’re seeing on your skin. During your consultation at New You Center, we’ll discuss your concerns, examine the areas you’d like to improve, and consider factors like your skin type, pigmentation, and treatment history. We’ll then explain the options that may be appropriate, including how they work, their benefits, limitations, and expected downtime, before creating a personalized treatment plan.
FAQs
Are Age Spots the Same as Freckles?
Not exactly. Freckles often appear earlier in life and may darken with consistent sun exposure, while age spots develop after years of cumulative UV exposure. Both involve increased pigmentation, but their causes and appearance can differ.
Where Does Sun Damage Usually Appear?
You’ll typically notice it where your skin receives the most sun, including your face, chest, shoulders, arms, and hands. These areas may develop brown spots, uneven pigmentation, redness, rough texture, or fine lines over time.
Can You Completely Reverse Sun Damage?
Treatments can improve many visible effects of sun exposure, but they cannot erase every change that has occurred within your skin. Your results will depend on the type and extent of damage, your skin, and the treatment selected.
