Sun spots, also known as age spots or solar lentigines, are flat brown spots that appear on skin areas frequently exposed to the sun. These spots are caused by an increase in melanin production triggered by UV exposure, becoming more common as we age. While they’re usually harmless, many people seek treatment to restore a more even skin tone and youthful appearance.
At Dr. Celia Mendes’s MedSpa, we offer advanced treatments specifically designed to target and reduce the appearance of sun spots while protecting and improving your skin’s overall health.

Understanding Sun Spots
Sun spots typically appear as:
- Flat, oval areas of increased pigmentation
- Light brown to dark brown in color
- Various sizes, from small dots to larger patches
- Most common on sun-exposed areas like face, hands, and shoulders
