Age Spots
Skin Care Treatment for Age Spots
Restore brightness and even tone by targeting age-related pigmentation.
Age spots are a visible reminder of long-term sun exposure. We offer a clinical approach to help improve skin clarity and reduce the appearance of uneven tone.
Age spots, also known as solar lentigines, are flat, pigmented patches that commonly appear on areas of the skin with frequent sun exposure, such as the face, hands, chest, and shoulders.
While medically harmless, many clients seek support to reduce their appearance for a more even and luminous skin tone.
At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, our team provides a thorough assessment and an evidence-based approach tailored to your skin’s specific needs and medical history.
Contributing Factors:
Multiple factors contribute to the formation and visibility of age spots, often building up over years of sun exposure.
Sun Exposure: UV radiation stimulates excess melanin production, leading to pigmented patches over time.
Skin Ageing: Ageing skin is less efficient at cellular turnover, making spots more prominent.
Genetics: Some individuals are more prone to pigmentation based on hereditary skin characteristics.
Skin Type: Fairer skin tones often show signs of sun-related pigmentation more visibly.
Environmental Exposure: Long-term outdoor exposure without adequate sun protection can accelerate their development.
Hormonal Changes: Shifts in hormone levels, particularly during menopause, can increase pigmentation issues.
These factors often work together, creating pigmentation that may vary in intensity and pattern.
‘Because every skin type and history is different, identifying the root contributors allows us to develop a treatment plan that supports skin health and clarity while aligning with your aesthetic goals.
Treatment Approach
Our approach to managing age spots begins with a comprehensive skin consultation, during which we evaluate your skin’s condition, sun exposure history, and other contributing factors. Based on your assessment, we may recommend a combination of targeted pigmentation treatments, professional peels, or laser-based strategies to help even out tone and brighten your complexion, always prioritising skin health and gradual, natural-looking results.

Here are some FAQ's about Age Spots. If you have any other questions, please give us a call or request a Consultation today.
What are age spots and why do they appear?
Age spots are flat, brown, or greyish patches of pigmentation that are primarily caused by cumulative sun exposure. They often appear later in life, but can begin earlier with high UV exposure.
Are age spots harmful?
No, age spots are benign and don’t require medical treatment. However, many clients choose to address them for aesthetic reasons or to improve overall skin tone.
Can I prevent new age spots from forming?
While existing spots can be managed, prevention is key. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, protective clothing, and avoiding peak UV hours are essential habits.
What are the best treatments for age spots?
Depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, treatments may include medical-grade peels, targeted laser sessions, or clinical skin care plans developed in consultation.
Will the spots come back after treatment?
Age spots can return with ongoing sun exposure. Maintaining results involves consistent sun protection and possibly periodic maintenance treatments.
