Age Spots Removal Miami
Age spots, brown spots, or lentigines, as referred to by dermatologists, were thought to be associated with just aging and sun damage, but they can often be caused as a result of a boost in estrogen hormones, pregnancy, acne and genetic history. Certain medications sensitize the skin to the sun and other medications can cause dark spots without sun exposure. The most common offending medications are, Estrogens, Tetracyclines, Amiodarone, Phenytoin, Phenothiazines, Sulfonamides. Age spots are most commonly seen in areas exposed to sunlight, such as: the face, cheeks, chest, hands and shoulders. Melanin, a pigment within your skin, is responsible for absorbing sunlight over time.
This repeated exposure to UV rays damages your skin and lowers your ability to produce melanin pigment and protect it from brown spots. Age spots appear as flat and oval areas of increased pigmentation and are usually brown, black or gray, depending on your skin tone. Age spots typically develop in people with a fair complexion, but they can be seen in those with darker skin as well. When you notice a change in your skin, whether it is a brown spot, pigmented lesion or any elevated spot on your skin, it’s important not to assume that it’s harmless. It may be just a brown spot or something else, but board certified, Age Spot Removal Miami Dermatologist Dr. Longwill, can truly identify the marking and its probable source.
