Melasma and Age Spots

IN MERRICK, NY

What Are Melasma and Age Spots?

Melasma and age spots are common forms of hyperpigmentation that cause uneven skin tone and dark patches. Melasma typically appears as brown or grayish patches on the face and is often linked to hormonal changes, pregnancy, or birth control use. Age spots, also called sunspots or liver spots, develop over time due to prolonged sun exposure and the natural aging process. Without proper sun protection, both conditions can worsen and become more pronounced. Fortunately, advanced treatments can help lighten discoloration, even out skin tone, and restore a more radiant complexion.
