Brown spots (also known as “age spots” or “sunspots”) are an extremely common skin condition that we see at our medical spa.
What Exactly are Brown Spots?
Brown spots occur because of overactive pigment cells, developing when melanin becomes clumped together or is produced in high concentrations. These spots tend to show up on the face, shoulders, upper back, arms, and hands, and they are characterized by a flat, oval shape. They are dark in color — usually different shades of brown, tan, or black.
