WHAT IS IT ?

Solar lentigines, commonly called dark spots or age spots, are flat brown spots caused by sun exposure. They can be present over the entire surface of the body in both men and women, especially in areas most exposed to UV rays. If you have a dark spot that worries you, it is important to consult your healthcare professional.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES ?

AGE

As we age, melanin pigment accumulates in the skin and causes the appearance of dark spots.

SUN EXPOSURE

Typically, the areas of the skin most exposed to UV rays (face, shoulders, décolleté) are more at risk of developing dark spots.

PREVENTION

SKIN CARE

In order to prevent the appearance of unwanted pigmented lesions, a good skincare routine should include daily sun protection.

LIFESTYLE HABITS

The prevention of dark spots can be done by avoiding sun exposure without sunscreen.
