Embarrassed by ugly brown age spots? There’s no need to be ashamed of the way your face or hands look. Age spot treatments can help reduce the appearance of these spots and help you feel more confident. Dermatologist Lauren A Daman, MD, PC treats age spots and offers Botox, scar removal, and chemical face peels in her Hartford, CT, office. She explains a few methods that just might make your spots less noticeable:

  • Over-The-Counter Creams: You’ll find plenty of creams and lotions that may help lighten your age spots. Look for products that contain hydroquinone or retinol. Some of these products may also contain salicylic or glycolic acid. These acids act as exfoliants and help remove dead cells, allowing the lightening products to penetrate your skin.

  • Natural Options: Try a natural remedy like buttermilk. Soak a cotton ball with buttermilk and apply to your skin for 15 minutes, or fade those spots with a lemon. Place a slice of lemon against your skin for 10 minutes before rinsing off. Lemon juice can irritate the skin, so stop using it if you notice redness.
  • Doctor-Recommended Treatments: Natural and store-bought age spot treatments have varying degrees of success. Even if these treatments do lighten the skin, it will be many months before you notice a difference. Why not skip the waiting and see Dr. Daman? She can help you say goodbye to those annoying spots with prescription topical medications, microdermabrasion, cryosurgery (freezing), laser resurfacing, or chemical face peels.
