How to Prevent and Treat Age Spots

Prevention of Age Spots

While age spots are common, there are several effective ways to prevent them from forming or worsening.

1. The use of Daily Sunscreen

  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
  • Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours if you’re spending time outdoors.
  • Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing for extra UV defence.

2. The use of Antioxidant-Rich Skincare

  • Vitamin C: Brightens skin and reduces pigmentation.
  • Niacinamide: Regulates melanin production and strengthens the skin barrier.
  • Retinoids: Boost cell turnover, helping to fade dark spots over time.

3. The need to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

  • Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts, to protect skin from oxidative stress.
  • Stay hydrated to maintain skin elasticity and regeneration.
  • Avoid smoking, as it accelerates skin ageing and worsens pigmentation.

4. Gentle Exfoliation

  • Using AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta-hydroxy acids) can help remove dead skin cells and promote a brighter, more even complexion.

5. Pigment Inhibitors

DMK pigment inhibitors from DMK are formulated to reduce hyperpigmentation and sun-damaged skin. The inhibitors restrict the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin colour.

Professional Treatments for Age Spots at Skin Revision

If age spots have already developed, professional skin treatments can significantly lighten or remove them. At Skin Revision, we offer non-invasive, results-driven solutions tailored to your skin type and concerns.

1. CryoPen

Cryotherapy using CryoPen is the most common treatment for age spots. Nitrous oxide is released at very high pressure, and on touching the lesion, such as an age spot, the nitrous oxide freezes at minus 89 degrees Celsius. This amount of freezing causes the vessels producing the age spot to be starved of oxygen. Over a period of time, following treatment, the age spots continually decrease and eventually disappear.

2. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use exfoliating acids to remove the top layer of pigmented skin, allowing new, fresh skin to emerge.

  • How It Works: A mild-to-moderate peel is applied to the skin to accelerate cell turnover and lighten dark spots.
  • Benefits: Reduces pigmentation and improves skin tone. Encourages collagen production for a brighter, more youthful appearance. Helps refine uneven texture and sun damage.

3. Plaxel Plasma Fibroblast

Jet Plasma D77 is an advanced skin regeneration treatment that penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen while reducing excess melanin production.

  • How It Works: Plasma energy breaks down pigmentation while promoting skin tightening and rejuvenation.
  • Benefits: Non-invasive and safe for all skin types. Targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone. Stimulates the natural healing process for long-lasting skin renewal.

4. AlumierMD Peel

AlumierMD offers excellent solutions for age spots/sun damage and pigmentation! AlumierMD combines professional treatments with medical-grade home care to achieve a brighter, long-lasting, and even skin tone.

5. DMK Skincare

BioRePeel is an innovative, no-downtime chemical peel that is excellent for age spots and hyperpigmentation. This medical-grade treatment uses a unique blend of acids, amino acids, and vitamins to gently exfoliate the pigmented cells that are looking to be treated. It also stimulates cellular renewal.
