Solar Lentigo Treatment

Solar lentigos, commonly known as age spots or liver spots, are small, flat, pigmented patches that appear on the skin due to prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. These spots are typically light brown to dark in color and can vary in size. Solar lentigos develop as a result of the skin's natural defense mechanism against UV damage. When the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, it produces melanin to protect itself from further harm. Over time, this leads to the formation of concentrated areas of pigmentation, resulting in the characteristic appearance of solar lentigos. While these spots are benign and generally harmless, they are often considered a visible sign of skin aging and cumulative sun damage.
