How to erase old age spots

UGLY age spots, also known as liver spots, don’t

have to be permanent!

Caused by long-term sun exposure, the flat brown marks can be

lightened with topical treatments or outpatient procedures.

Prescription creams containing retinoids, cortisone or

hydroquinone can help the splotches fade. A dermatologist may

also suggest laser therapy, microdermabrasion or a chemical peel to

exfoliate the skin, or cryotherapy, which uses a cold substance like

liquid nitrogen to remove the excess pigmentation.
