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.
