Brown Spots and Discoloration

Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots appearing on areas of the body primarily exposed to UV light such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.

What is it?

Discolorations and dark spots are a usual part of the skin's maturing process. These small, discolored, flat, dark patches vary in size and appear on areas of the skin exposed to ultraviolet light, such as the sun, sun lamps or tanning beds. The most common areas affected include the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.


Such spots can affect people with all types of skin but are most prevalent among adults (usually those over 50) who have lighter skin tones. Unlike freckles, these dark discolorations do not fade over time. While they are harmless and don't necessitate medical treatment, if you are bothered by their look, our physician-led, board-certified teams in Dublin, Columbus, Canal Winchester, Urbana, Circleville, Washington Courthouse, Grove City and Marysville, Ohio, can devise a customized treatment strategy that will enhance your skin with an even tone and a radiant glow. 


How is it treated?

At our offices, you can be confident that our skilled team of providers have extensive experience in successfully treating brown spots and managing irregular skin tone. Treatments will depend on your skin but might include microneedling, chemical peels, lasers, microdermabrasion, or topical skin care products like retinoids or Tretinoin. Book a cosmetic consult with one of our expert providers who can evaluate your needs and create a custom treatment plan.
