Causes of Age Spots

What are the main causes of age spots and how do factors like UV exposure, genetics and hormonal changes contribute to skin discoloration? Learn how to prevent them and maintain youthful, even skin tone.

Age spots, also known as pigment spots or sun spots, are a common form of hyperpigmentation that appear as flat, brown, tanned or black spots on areas of the skin that are frequently exposed to the sun. You can read more about them and information at bodysilk.co.uk/conditions/age-spots . Although they are harmless, they can be an aesthetic concern for many people.

Understanding the underlying causes, such as UV exposure, genetics and hormonal changes, can help with prevention and treatment to maintain youthful, even skin.

Age spots do not disappear on their own and are different from freckles, which can lighten with less sun exposure. UV rays stimulate melanocytes, the skin cells responsible for producing melanin. Over time, excess melanin accumulates, forming dark spots.
