Sun Spots (solar lentigo)

Solar lentigo, also known as sun spots or liver spots, are small benign pigmented macules that appear on sun-exposed skin (face, dorsa of the hands, arms and upper part of the trunk). They may appear suddenly or slowly evolve and increase in size over the years. Solar lentigo usually occur in adults as a sign of chronic sun -damage.

Before treatment the diagnosis must be confirmed by a dermatologist.

Solar lentigo can be effectively treated with medium chemical peels (TCA peels) or Q-switched lasers with no risk of side effects.
