As you reach middle age you may notice age spots popping up on the back of your hands, shoulders, or even face. The good news is that there are a lot of cosmetic products you can use to get rid of age spots fast. Here is a look at some of the best options.
Remember—before you start any treatment plan, be sure to discuss it with your dermatologist.
Chemical Peel
The price range for a chemical peel is $600 to $900 per treatment, which is expensive. But on the upside, it’s faster than other options and leaves you with more youthful skin overall. Chemical peels burn off the outer layer of your skin with acid. While that may sound extreme, the process is not actually as painful as it sounds. As you heal, new cells, free from age spots begin to form.
Meladerm Pigment Reducing Complex
This is a quick and effective all-natural treatment for age spots. Results can be seen within 14 days. The product is great for getting rid of age spots, but it is important to apply SPF-15 lotion to your skin during and after treatment to protect your skin from sun damage.
Topical Creams
Dermatologists usually suggest topical creams that contain retinol or hydroquinone. Hydroquinone, a chemical bleaching component, gets rid of age spots by lightening the skin. Spots may begin to lighten within four to six weeks.
Skin Whitening Cream
Skin whitening creams are a more affordable option for getting rid of age spots. Whitening creams are made from natural ingredients and are the safest way to get rid of spots without risks. Depending on the cream, you should start to see results after four to six weeks of daily use. You’ll want a cream that contains hydroxy acids, kijoc acids, arbutin or bearberry extract, lemon juice, or vitamins B3 and C.
