Sunspots
Skin Care Treatment for Sunspots
Help your skin recover from years of sun with tailored care.
Years of sun exposure can lead to visible sunspots. Our clinician-led treatments target pigmentation gently and safely to improve your skin’s tone and texture.
Sunspots, also known as solar lentigines or age spots, are flat, brown marks that appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, chest, and hands. They’re a visible sign of UV damage and may increase with age or cumulative sun exposure.
At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we provide personalised, non-surgical treatments to help fade the appearance of sunspots and support clearer, more radiant skin.
Contributing Factors:
Several factors contribute to the development of sunspots over time.
UV Exposure: Repeated sun exposure triggers excess melanin production, leading to visible brown spots.
Ageing: As skin ages, its ability to repair and regulate pigment becomes less efficient.
Skin Type: Fairer skin types are more prone to sun-induced pigmentation.
Inconsistent Sun Protection: Skipping sunscreen allows UV rays to damage the skin.
Outdoor Lifestyle: Living in sunny climates increases sunspot risk, particularly on frequently exposed areas.
Hormonal Changes: Hormones can make the skin more reactive to UV damage and pigmentation.
Because sunspots vary in depth and intensity, treatment begins with a careful skin assessment. We’ll tailor a plan based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals to reduce pigmentation and help restore a more even, luminous tone.
Treatment Approach
Treating sunspots involves gently targeting pigment within the skin, often using light-based therapies, clinical-grade peels, or topical resurfacing support. Our goal is to fade the appearance of these spots without harming surrounding skin, while also helping to prevent future pigmentation through barrier support and sun care guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some FAQ's about Sunspots. If you have any other questions, please give us a call or request a Consultation today.
What causes sunspots to form?
Sunspots are caused by prolonged UV exposure that stimulates excess melanin production, often appearing on areas like the face, chest, and hands.
Can sunspots go away on their own?
No, sunspots typically do not fade without treatment. They may darken over time unless addressed through targeted skincare or professional treatments.
How many sunspot treatments will I need?
The number of sunspot treatments depends on their depth, size, and how your skin responds. Some improve after one session, while others require a course of treatments.
Are sunspot treatments painful?
Sunspot treatments are usually well tolerated. Clients may feel warmth or mild discomfort, but downtime is minimal in most cases.
Will the sunspots come back after treatment?
Treated sunspots may fade or be removed, but new spots can form without ongoing sun protection. Wearing SPF daily is essential to maintaining results.
Noticing brown spots or discolouration from sun exposure?
Let’s create a tailored treatment plan to help reduce sunspots and restore a clearer, brighter complexion, safely and effectively.
