Skin Care Treatment for Hand Sun Spots

Help fade sun spots and discolouration on the hands.

Hand sun spots are a common sign of UV exposure. We offer gentle, clinician-led treatments to help fade discolouration and restore a more even skin tone.

Hand sun spots are flat, brown marks that develop due to long-term UV exposure. Commonly referred to as age spots, they often appear on the backs of the hands and can contribute to an aged or uneven appearance.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we offer safe, non-surgical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of sun spots and support clearer, more even-looking skin on your hands.

Contributing Factors:

A number of everyday and environmental influences can contribute to hand sun spots.

  • Sun Exposure: The hands are often unprotected, making them prone to pigmentation.

  • Ageing: Over time, the skin’s ability to regulate pigment weakens, leading to sun spots.

  • Lack of Sunscreen Use: Hands are commonly forgotten in daily SPF routines.

  • Outdoor Lifestyle: Regular sun exposure increases UV-related pigmentation.

  • Skin Type: Some individuals are more prone to pigment changes from sun.

  • Cellular Changes: UV damage can cause melanin to concentrate in patches, forming visible spots.

Sun spots can build up gradually because the hands are constantly exposed and often neglected in skincare routines. Our personalised treatments focus on fading discolouration and restoring clarity while supporting the health and texture of the skin.

Treatment Approach

Treating hand sun spots involves targeting the pigment in affected areas using gentle resurfacing and light-based treatments. We may recommend peels, laser therapy, or skin-strengthening solutions to help reduce pigmentation and improve texture. Every plan is customised to your skin’s condition and desired outcome, always with a focus on natural, balanced results.

Hand sun spots are caused by repeated sun exposure over time. UV rays stimulate melanin production, which can cluster and appear as flat, dark patches.

While some mild spots may fade slightly, most hand sun spots remain without intervention. Professional treatment is typically needed to reduce their appearance.

The number of hand sun spot treatments varies depending on the number, size, and depth of the spots. Your practitioner will recommend a suitable plan.

Most hand sun spot treatments are gentle and involve minimal discomfort. Any warmth or tingling is usually brief and well tolerated.

Treated spots may not return, but new ones can appear if hands are exposed to the sun without protection. Daily SPF is essential for long-term results.
