People of any age, sex, or race can develop age spots. However, some groups of people are more susceptible to developing age spots. These include: People older than 40 years (hence the names age spots) People with fair skin complexion People with a history of frequent sun exposure or tanning bed use (meaning even young people can develop age spots).

When it comes to taking care of our skincare, a preventive approach is often best. Sun protection is the most significant step you can take to help prevent age spots from forming. One of the best things you can do is use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Also, try to keep out of the sun during its most intense hours and don’t forget about sun-protective clothing such as hats. These can go a long way in shielding your skin from too much sun exposure.

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of age spots, there are several things you can do to get rid of them. The pigment is at the base of the epidermis (the topmost layer of skin), so you need a treatment that can penetrate this layer of the skin. Here at Dr Aesthetica, we have found Skin Peels to be a very effective treatment for many of our patients. All of our skin peel and care products are sourced from AlumierMD—a revolutionary range of clinically proven and high-grade products. The best part is that the treatment can be hyper-customised and tailored to your specific skin concerns. Chemical face peels work by removing the outer layer of the skin (where the age spots are located) and stimulating new tissue growth. They are excellent for targeting different skin depths that treatments such as dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or facials cannot reach.

Skin Peels are generally safe. That being said, like any other cosmetic procedure, they must be performed by a trained and experienced professional. In the wrong hands, skin peels can result in adverse results such as scarring, swelling, infection, or discolouration.

AlumierMD (exclusively available at Dr Aesthetica) also offers home-based skincare solutions. With AlumierMD, we can laser focus on your unique skin profile and immediately begin working on your problematic area (age spots) without damaging your skin. It all starts with a consultation with our professional aesthetics practitioners to address your age spots or any other skin concerns you might have. From this, we will create a specially designed skincare regime with clear, simple instructions. Expect to see some visual and physical changes to the skin within the first few weeks.
