If you’re looking for effective sun spot removal, age spot treatment, or laser treatment for sun spots, Spa by RescueMD offers personalized and results-driven solutions. Our advanced laser technology and physician-backed skincare treatments help visibly fade unwanted pigmentation for a brighter, more even complexion.
What Are Dark Spots?
Dark spots are flat, brown or black patches that appear on the skin due to excess melanin production. Common types of dark spots include:
- Sun spots (solar lentigines)
- Liver spots (age-related pigmentation)
- Age spots (often caused by cumulative sun exposure)
These spots typically form on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, shoulders, chest, and arms.
What Causes Dark Spots?
Dark spots can develop due to:
- Sun exposure (UV damage)
- Aging
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne or injury
At Spa by RescueMD, our specialists will assess the type and cause of your pigmentation to create a custom treatment plan.
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots, sometimes called liver spots, are flat brown or black patches that appear on the skin as we age. They are caused primarily by cumulative sun exposure and skin aging. Age spots most commonly show up on areas frequently exposed to the sun like the face, neck, and hands.
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots are caused by:
- Long-term UV exposure
- Skin aging and slower cellular turnover
- Oxidative stress and environmental damage
These spots are harmless but often cosmetically unwanted, especially as they multiply over time.
What Are Sun Spots?
Sun spots, also known as solar lentigines, are specific types of dark spots that result directly from UV exposure. Unlike freckles, which can fade with less sun, sun spots tend to persist and deepen over time without treatment.
What Causes Sun Spots?
Sun spots are caused by:
- Prolonged exposure to UV rays without protection
- Tanning beds or excessive time outdoors
- Skin’s natural response to repeated sun damage
The more time your skin spends in the sun, the more likely it is to develop sun spots—even in your 20s or 30s.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the best treatment for age spots and sun spots?
A combination of laser treatment for sun spots and ZO Skin Health products provides the most effective, long-lasting results. Lasers treat pigment at the source, while skincare supports ongoing correction.
How many sessions are needed for laser sun spot removal?
Most clients see improvement after 1–3 sessions, though results may vary based on the depth and location of the pigmentation.
Is laser treatment painful?
Laser treatments may feel like a mild snapping or warming sensation, but they are generally well-tolerated and require little to no downtime.

Yes, without sun protection, new spots can form. Daily sunscreen and pigment-control products are key for prevention.
