Age spots are also known as Liver Spots. These are caused by aging and a life of exposure to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Because they are generally associated with sun exposure, they appear most often on the face, hands, shoulders, arms, and the head if there is no hair to protect the scalp. While they pose no threat, sometimes they can get in the way of properly detecting skin cancer, but most wish to get them removed for purely cosmetic reasons. 

Melanin is a dark pigment present in the skin and is produced by melanocytes; it is the main factor in the formation of moles, freckles, and some brown age spots when this pigment multiplies. Freckles are a genetic trait and aside from using sunblock to inhibit their growth, they can only be removed through special creams or laser treatments.

Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center in Atlanta, Georgia can remove most freckles, age spots, brown spots and moles completely with just one treatment; occasionally two treatments are necessary to remove larger, more stubborn brown spots.
