Microdermabrasion can help fade age spots. Learn more about how they appear with Groupon’s examination:
Age Spots: Shade from the Sun

spots. Liver spots. Solar lentigines. No matter what you call them,
these flat gray, brown, and black spots on the skin come from the same
place: space. Specifically, the sun. All skin color is the result of a
pigment called melanin produced in the epidermis. Each person’s skin
produces melanin at certain rate, but ultraviolet rays from the sun
accelerate that process, which creates a darker, tanned appearance. Over
years, melanin can become particularly concentrated in one area and
clump together to form age spots, typically on the hands, face,
shoulders, and other areas regularly exposed to sunlight. (Freckles are
produced through a similar process, but their formation is much more
strongly predicted by genetics and by whether you’re dressing up as
Raggedy Ann for Halloween this year.)
Age spots are ultimately
harmless, but there are many ways to treat their appearance.
Prescription-strength and over-the-counter creams use retinol or
hydroquinone to make the spots gradually fade over time. Laser
treatments target melanin-producing cells directly, and
microdermabrasion and chemical peels remove the top layer of skin
altogether, taking discoloration with it. People also seek out
cryotherapy to freeze the offending areas, destroying the excess pigment
as the skin heals.
