Age Spot Treatments
Age Spots and Spot
Removers
 You'll
know when it is time to begin treating age spots when those dreadful
they start to sprout up all over your face with wild abandon.
Age
spots are a clear sign of sun damaged and photoaged skin.
Specifically,
age spots occur as a result of not enough sunscreen and too much sun
which promotes free radical
activity!
In non-technical terms this essentially means
that the years
spent worshiping the sun and getting that glorious beautiful golden tan
is coming back to haunt your skin ~ with a vengeance.
You
can take action to stop and reverse the damage.
If your skin has been
invaded by age spots
then it is certainly time for age spot treatments.
Overexposer to the sun thorough the years without
adequate
protection from sunscreen accelerates the skin's natural aging process.
Sun
damaged skin is a cumulative process that occurs gradually over decades.
Psst. . . You aren't alone!
There isn't a
person who is concerned about skin rejuvenation that hasn't wished that
they had been more careful about using sunscreen and protecting their
skin from the sun throughout the years.
Age spots usually
appear gradually over time and depending on skin type and sun
worshiping habits usually wait to materialize until those middle age
years.
Although age spots can develop at any
age, they are more apt to
occur with people who have fair skin and tend to burn easily.

The quickest, most effective age spot treatments
involve
facial lasers such as the IPL.
Facial lasers
can produce some absolutely amazing results, particularly in addressing
the wide range of aging skin issues associated with anti-aging skin
care. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive of the options.
There
are, of course, many other affordable options but the results aren't as
instantaneous or as reliable as laser treatments.
 Tip:
Carefully review the label to ensure that the product contains an
effective concentration of active
ingredients.
The most common and readily available age spot
treatments are
over-the-counter bleaching creams such as:
- Hydroquinone,
(2% concentration), or Kojic Acid
- Alpha
Hydroxy Acid,(glycolic acid), in the stronger concentrations,
10% to 15%
- For
the more stubborn spots, a strong concentration of retinol,
.60% to 1%, or a prescription strength tretinoin, (Vitamin A- retinol),
combined with a bleaching agent works quite well
