Brown Spots & Discoloration

Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots appearing on areas of the body primarily exposed to ultraviolet light such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.

What is it?

Brown spots and discoloration are a normal part of the skin's aging process. They’re small, flat, discolored and dark areas that vary in size. They appear on areas of the skin exposed to ultraviolet light, i.e., the sun, tanning beds or sun lamps, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.


These spots affect people of all skin types but are most common in adults (typically over 50 years old) with lighter skin. Unlike freckles, these brown spots don’t fade over time. They’re harmless and don’t require medical care, but if you don't like their appearance, our board-certified, physician-led teams in Berkley, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, Commerce, and Novi, Michigan will create a personalized treatment plan that will leave your skin even-toned and radiant. Give us a call for a consultation. We’re here for you.


How is it treated?

At Associated Dermatologists, rest assured that our expert provider team brings years of experience in effectively treating brown spots and addressing uneven skin tone. Explore our services below to learn more about the treatments we offer or book an appointment at one of our convenient office locations to start your path to even, glowing skin.
