Spots Be GONE

I am here to lend a Beauty hand and for you to know you are not alone.

Removing age spots is mostly performed due to aesthetic reasons than any other reason. Age spots might be unsightly but they are pretty harmless. Preventing age spots by using lots of high quality sunblock and staying away from the sun is the best way to make sure they don't appear at all. But, once they do appear, removing age spots can be done by using natural ingredients that make excellent homemade skin care products.

Age spots can be treated with freezing, acids, skin sanding, electric needle and any other methods which causes a superficial destruction of the skin. Lasers are much more precise and less damaging to the skin because light is used to selectively remove the pigment without damaging the normal surrounding skin. There is also less pain and less healing time required to recover from laser treatment than with non-laser treatments. Liver spots can be lightened with skin-bleaching products or removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy). Cryotherapy (freezing) or laser treatment may be recommended to destroy the liver spots.
