What's the primary difference between sun spots, age spots and liver spots?
It's easy to get confused about sun spots, age spots and liver spots because these terms are just different ways to refer to the same thing. No matter what you call them, sun spots cause the skin to appear years older than it really is, making it necessary to seek out ways to fade age spots and other skin renovation alternatives.
What do sun spots look like?
Sun spots, age spots or liver spots are usually brown specks similar to freckles that appear on the areas of the skin most commonly exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders and back. Sun spots can also range in color - from light brown to red or even black, depending on skin tone and level of exposure to the sun. Sun spots are essentially pigments in the skin that have been damaged by the sun, causing the skin to look aged and/or worn.
What's the best way to get rid of sun spots?
Sun and age spots are mostly removed using simple but expensive medical and cosmetic procedures, or special aging skin care products. People interested in skin renovation should investigate the different types of skin renovation programs available. The most common age spot remover methods are Microdermabrasion, Bleaching Creams, Laser Surgery and Chemical Peels.
Sun spots can result from just one instance of over-exposure to the sun. Over-pigmentation occurs when the skin's melanocytes - cells located in the epidermis - begin to produce pigments in excess, following too much sun. Melanocytes are the skin cell components responsible for darkening the skin during and after sun bathing.
The problem occurs when melanocytes act up and make an excess amount of the melanin pigment. This melanin overload causes the skin to turn red or brownish, resulting in what we call sun spots, and can also lead to melasma.
In conclusion, concerns about sun spots are mostly cosmetic, because the majority of them are not a health threat. However, average person's eye cannot distinguish skin cancer from harmless dark spots. It is therefore of vital concern that you see a dermatologist to ensure that any sun spots you may have are not cancerous.
