Age Spots

Are age spots making you feel self-conscious about your skin? You’re not alone. Also known as liver spots or sun spots, age spots are a common concern for many adults, particularly after years of sun exposure. At Central Dermatology Center, serving communities throughout the Triangle Area of NC, we offer advanced, customized treatments to help reduce the appearance of age spots and restore a more youthful, even skin tone.

What Are Age Spots?

Age spots are flat, brown, gray, or black spots that typically appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin—most commonly the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. They occur when excess melanin (pigment) gathers in the skin due to sun damage or aging. While age spots are usually harmless, they can be mistaken for other skin conditions, so professional evaluation is important.

How We Treat Age Spots

At Central Dermatology Center, we offer a range of effective, non-invasive treatments to reduce or eliminate age spots. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your skin type, age, and lifestyle. Options may include:

• Laser Therapy – Targets and breaks up pigment with light energy, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.  
• Chemical Peels – Removes damaged outer layers of skin to improve pigmentation and texture.  
• Cryotherapy – Freezes age spots with liquid nitrogen, causing them to fade or flake off.  
• Topical Prescription Creams – Lightening agents such as hydroquinone can gradually fade spots over time with consistent use.  

During your consultation, one of our experienced dermatology providers will assess your skin and recommend the most effective approach for your needs.
