Removing Age
Spots
Age spots can be a sign of aging or they can be brought
on by too much sunlight. Removing age spots can be done through
the use of skin lighteners.
There are skin lighteners that can help to eliminate age
spots but some skin lighteners can be harmful and burn and
many of them just flat out don't work.
Solutions for removing age
spots?
Here are several solutions for treating and removing age
spots or dark spots. Most of them have adverse site effects,
however for a more natural, safe remedy see below:
- Hydroquinone can sometimes
irritate and temporarily redden the skin. This possibility
of irritation with hydroquinone makes it unsuitable for
people with darker skin tones. Irritation associated with
hydroquinone can over stimulate the higher concentration of
melanocytes found in dark skin types.
- Liquid nitrogen therapy is the
quickest way to get rid of age spots. Liquid nitrogen is
air that is so cold that it is in liquid form (-321ºF). The
esthetician sprays the liquid nitrogen onto the age spot
and this causes the mark to turn white a month or so after
treatment. When liquid nitrogen is sprayed onto the skin,
it can sting and may cause a permanent white spots or
scarring.
- Retin-A can cause skin
sensitivity and people may experience excessive redness,
swelling, blisters, itching, stinging, dryness or peeling
.
- Alpha Hydroxy Peels or AHA
products can cause adverse reactions in people including
severe redness, swelling (especially in the area of the
eyes), burning, blistering, bleeding, rash, itching, and
skin discoloration. The FDA has received numerous reports
of these adverse reactions.
- Remember to stay out of the sun and use regular
sun protection.
