    I recently had a laser procedure. Worked on a couple of age spots but not all. Spent a lot of money for very little results.
  • @celticrose2
    I used Neutrogena skin lightening with Vitamin C. This helped lighten my sun spots alot. And now I use sun screen.
  • My other half used red onion to get rid of brown ageing area on her face and it worked.

    Been a surfer for 40yrs many spots and dots.I use wart killer works face and body.Aply three times a day 2 days
  • I had a series of microdermabrasion ... did nothing for my brown spots and only temporarily improved my skin. Would get the same effect from exfoliators or home microdermabrasion.
  • wonderful video... i have tried laser as well. i use apple cinder vinegar which has helped alot.. I use a cold laser too i have been using sunscreen everyday..

    Great advice, thank you! I've used both lasers and TCA peels on my age spots. Luckily I just have a few, so it wasn't very expensive. The laser works beautifully on the face, but did leave marks on my legs that took a good year to go away. I love peels, but they work very slowly on these types of spots. I wouldn't waste my time on vinegar (the internet would have you believe it can cure everything from age spots to cancer) or any other topical. Even if they worked it would take forever.
  • What's the difference between these and freckles? I've had speckles all over my exposed skin since i was a kid, and I always assumed they were freckles.

    I stopped all fructose and my age spots (on back of hands and one side of face) all disappeared. They began to come back when I relented on fructose abstinence and went away again when I stopped fructose for a second time. QED.

    I have quite a few of these but I almost never go in the sun, so I don’t understand why I’m getting them 🤔
  • 60 years old and I have basal cell cancer on the side of my nose. Previously I've had squamous inside my nose and I believe that it's coming back with a vengeance. What could cause a person to get skin cancer in their nose? Is it caused by FPV?
