Age spots

I've had laser treatment for sun damage on my face. It didn't work. I spent a week out of the sun after the treatment, very difficult to do when you live in a sunny country, with a scabby face and the result was very disappointing, no change whatsoever.

I've tried various home treatments, but so far, nothing's worked. I think I'll give the No7 Age Corrector a try. Thanks NanaandGrampy.

Grans with respectable minds, please look away now, but whoever decided to label a cream 'hand relief' clearly had no sense of humour.

We all have them so why worry? The only way of not having these things is to just not grow old and if you get rid of one age spot there will undoubtedly be another one coming right behind.

I have a couple of small ones on my hands . I treat them with No7 Age Corrector ( I think that’s what it’s called). It doesn’t remove them but it does fade them significantly .

I have so many age spots, but the ones on my hands really bother me. I have tried lasering them, but the results for me were not worth the money ($700). I've also used Ambi dark spot cream which had fairly good results but the spots do come back. The best I have found is Aveda Hand Relief Night Renewal Serum. This has really worked well. I'm still using it so don't know if the spots will come back after I finish the bottle, but my hands look so much better.

I have one on each cheek. I asked the dermatologist if he'd remove them, but he said that if he did, I would then have white spots instead of brown ones. I couldn't see the point - so I just use concealer on them and they disappear.

I have recently posted on the many uses of bicarbonate of soda. Mixed with water into a paste and applied it is supposed to minimize liver spots and other skin blemishes. Am still at a very early stage so cannot guarantee results. But it won´t do any harm.

There are plenty of ideas on these age spots and how to get rid of them on "pinterest" but I've not tried them myself.
I have a big one on my cheek too but don't worry about it unless I'm going to a special do and try to blend it in with make up.

Some of these cosmetic creams are designed to "lift" the colour from these age spots,not disguise at all.
I knowfrom personal usage,they are not perfect but they certainly do help.

Whilst I totally agree about the usage of sun protection for every month of the year, as the added damage only adds to the existing problem.

You will probably need more than a cosmetic cream to make any difference. Go to see a dermatologist. Just ring up a clinic or salon that deals with these spots and get their advice. It shouldn’t cost you anything for a chat.
Unfortunately they will be caused by sun damage and you will only exacerbate the pigmentation spots if you go out without sun protection. Even when it’s not sunny the UVA and UVB rays are there ready to destroy ?

I have similar on face,hands and arms.......the result of too much tanning at an earlier age.I have not heard of anyone turning to laser treatment to remove same so on that point I cannot offer you any advice.
However there are many various creams available in many of todays facial creams specifically to help dimninish or eradicate these "brown spots",too many in fact to mention but certainly well worth exploring if you have not already gone down this route.
Your local chemist or Make up counter would be a place to start asking these questions.

Wishing you well Jangran65.
