Brown Spots

Brown/Age/Sun Spots... Is there a difference?

Brown spots—also called sun spots or age spots—are flat areas of excess pigmentation, usually tan to dark brown, that appear on sun-exposed skin like the face, hands, shoulders, and back. While often linked to aging, the main cause is long-term sun exposure, which triggers melanin overproduction.

Many people seek treatment for brown spots to achieve a clearer, more even skin tone, as these spots can make the skin look aged or uneven. It’s also important to evaluate them properly, since some may resemble other skin conditions. At Anima Med Spa, our specialists can determine whether IPL Photo Facial Rejuvenation is the right treatment to safely and effectively reduce your pigmentation concerns.
