The best treatments address the cause and help with prevention.
Even a spot removed through cryosurgery can return if efforts are not made to prevent it from returning.
Here's a good plan for treating and preventing.
Protect the Area from the Sun Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight has several effects on the skin.
Some of which can be long lasting.
The positive effect of sunlight is that it stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, an antioxidant that is important for heart and circulatory health, bone health and immune system function.
Another effect can be viewed as positive or negative.
Sunlight stimulates melanocytes deep within the skin to produce the pigment melanin.
New skin cells that are being produced on a daily basis will be infused with the pigment.
What we call an age spot is actually a "melanin clump".
Melanin production is positive in that melanin in the skin's outer layers protects the deeper layers from UV damage.
But of course when melanin clumps, the skin's color is uneven and the complexion is not as youthful looking.
Another bad effect of UV radiation is that it triggers the production and activity of free radical molecules that play a role in wrinkles and other visible signs of aging, as well as skin cancer.
Even the best age spots treatment can only address some of these issues.
If you make no effort to protect the skin from additional exposure to sunlight, any efforts you make to treat the problem will be moderately effective at best.
Use an Anti-Aging Cream Regularly The newest anti-aging creams contain nutrient-rich ingredients that address some of the issues mentioned above.
For example, antioxidants including in the creams help to neutralize free radical molecules before they can do any damage.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is well known for reducing the risk of brown age spots caused by exposure to sunlight or to environmental toxins.
A good anti-aging cream may be the best age spots treatment if it contains an ingredient derived from the nut-grass plant.
That ingredient has been shown to inhibit melanin production significantly.
You will still want to protect the area from the sun.
To inhibit melanin production and still spend time in the sun could increase your risk of skin cancer.
Another good anti-aging ingredient is the antioxidant coenzyme Q10.
Not only does it neutralize free radicals, coenzyme Q10 apparently reverses free radical damage.
In clinical studies, it has been shown to reduce wrinkles and other symptoms associated with sun damage.
Just remember to be critical of advertising claims.
There is only so much that the best age spots treatment can do.
If you continue to expose the area to the sun, you will be disappointed in the results.
