Why Are Brown Spots Appearing on Your Face and Hands?

Have you noticed more brown spots developing on your cheeks, temples, or the backs of your hands?

These may be Age Spots, also known as Solar Lentigines, one of the most common signs of skin aging.

Although they are generally harmless, age spots can make the skin appear older and less even-toned, affecting confidence and overall appearance.

Why Do Age Spots Develop?

Sun Exposure

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the main causes of age spots. Long-term sun exposure can stimulate excess melanin production, leading to brown pigmentation.

Natural Aging

As we age, the skin’s renewal process slows down, making pigmentation more noticeable and persistent.

Genetics

Some individuals may develop age spots earlier due to genetic predisposition.

Lifestyle Factors

• Inadequate sunscreen use.
• Frequent sun exposure.
• Neglecting hand protection.
• Improper skincare habits.

Where Do Age Spots Commonly Appear?

Common areas include:

• Cheeks.
• Forehead.
• Temples.
• Backs of the hands.
• Shoulders and arms.
• Chest.

The backs of the hands are often one of the most neglected areas when it comes to sun protection and anti-aging care.

Can Age Spots Be Removed Permanently?

Appropriate treatments can significantly improve the appearance of age spots. However, since skin aging and UV exposure continue over time, long-term sun protection and skincare remain essential.

Age Spot Treatment with Pico Laser at Oceania

How Does Pico Laser Work?

Pico Laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second) to selectively target melanin deposits while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue.

This technology may help:

• Improve the appearance of age spots and sun-induced pigmentation.
• Break down pigment particles into smaller fragments that can be naturally eliminated by the body.
• Promote a more even skin tone.
• Stimulate collagen production for brighter and healthier-looking skin.
• Improve overall skin quality and texture.

Thanks to its precision and relatively short recovery time, Pico Laser has become one of the most popular technologies for addressing pigmentation concerns and signs of photoaging.

Who May Benefit from Pico Laser?

You may consider a professional consultation if you have:

• Age spots on the face.
• Brown spots on the backs of the hands.
• Sun-induced pigmentation.
• Uneven skin tone.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• A desire for skin rejuvenation without invasive procedures.
