Cause and Treatment of Age Spots

The dark spots that show up on the skin in increasing frequency in middle age are typically called age spots, but really should be called sun spots as they are due to over exposure to the sun.

These brown spots or solar lentigenes are caused from sun damage that occurred years before. Melanocytes are cells in the epidermis that produce melanin which absorbs sunlight to protect the skin from UV rays. Over time the skin is damaged due to exposure to UVA and UVB light from sunlight or tanning beds, and the result is brown spots on the skin.

These annoying spots are benign, but it is always wise to have a skin cancer screening when you visit your physician.

If you choose to have them medically removed, there are many medical esthetic clinics that can recommend the most appropriate method for you.

Cellex-C offers excellent topical preparations to fade existing spots as well as to help prevent new ones from forming. The following regime is ideal:

1.    Apply FADE AWAY GEL to spots

2.    Apply ADVANCED-C SERUM and SKIN HYDRATION COMPLEX to the face and neck

3.    Always wear Cellex-C SUN CARE 30 PLUS (even on cloudy days)

4.    Apply AGE.LESS 15 SKIN SIGNALING SERUM followed by SELINE-E cream at night
