Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots typically appearing on areas of the body exposed to ultraviolet light.
What is it?
Brown patches and uneven skin tone are regular aspects of skin aging. These small, level, dark, and differently-sized areas typically occur on the skin exposed to UV light—from sources like the sun, tanning beds, or sun lamps. Common places include the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
While these patches can affect all skin types, they are most prevalent in adults (usually those over 50) with lighter skin. Unlike freckles, these brown patches do not lighten over time. Although they are benign and don't necessitate medical attention, if you're bothered by their appearance, our certified, physician-led teams at our dermatology clinic can develop a customized treatment plan to give you a balanced and glowing skin tone.
