Age spot treatments in New York City

Age spots are discolored spots on the skin that occur as a result of overactive pigment cells. What causes overactive pigment cells? Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can speed up the production of melanin in the skin. When melanin becomes “clumped” or is produced in high concentrations in particular areas of the skin, age spots appear. They vary in size and usually develop on areas most exposed to the sun – face, hands, shoulders, and arms.
