Age spots—often referred to as sunspots, liver spots, or solar lentigines—are a common cosmetic concern for individuals seeking clearer, more youthful-looking skin. These flat brown, tan, or dark patches typically appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, and décolletage, and while they are medically harmless, they can add years to one’s appearance. At EyeFACE Institute in Toronto, age spot removal is approached with medical precision, advanced technology, and a deeply personalized philosophy focused exclusively on the eyes and face.
With a multidisciplinary team of specialists and a commitment to natural-looking results, EyeFACE Institute offers some of the most effective non-surgical options available today for age spot removal and overall skin rejuvenation.
What Are Age Spots and Why Do They Appear?
Age spots form when melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, becomes concentrated in certain areas due to repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Over time, sun damage causes pigment-producing cells to clump together rather than disperse evenly, leading to visible discoloration on the skin.
While age spots are more common after the age of 40, they can appear earlier in individuals with fair skin, a history of sunburns, or frequent sun exposure without adequate protection. Hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental stressors can also contribute to uneven pigmentation.
Although age spots are not dangerous, they are one of the most noticeable signs of premature ageing—prompting many people to seek professional removal treatments.
Professional Age Spot Removal vs. Over-the-Counter Products
Many over-the-counter creams and home remedies claim to fade age spots, but results are often limited and inconsistent. While topical products may help brighten skin gradually, they rarely penetrate deeply enough to significantly break up established pigmentation.
Professional age spot removal at EyeFACE Institute goes beyond surface-level correction. Treatments are performed under medical supervision using clinically proven technologies that target pigment at its source—delivering more noticeable, longer-lasting results while protecting surrounding skin.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Age Spot Removal
EyeFACE Institute specializes in non-surgical cosmetic treatments that enhance skin clarity and tone without the need for invasive procedures. While Botox® injections are widely known for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, they are often part of a broader, customized facial rejuvenation strategy that may include treatments for pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality.
Age spot removal is typically addressed using a combination of the following approaches:
1. Laser and Light-Based Treatments
Laser and light-based therapies are among the most effective solutions for age spot removal. These technologies deliver controlled energy into pigmented areas, breaking down excess melanin so it can be naturally eliminated by the body.
At EyeFACE Institute, advanced laser platforms are used to precisely target age spots while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This results in:
- Noticeable fading of dark spots
- Improved overall skin tone
- Minimal downtime
- Long-term improvement with proper maintenance
Laser treatments are especially effective for facial age spots, where precision and safety are critical due to the delicate nature of the skin.
2. Chemical Peels and Skin Resurfacing
Chemical peels use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, encouraging cell turnover and revealing fresher, more evenly toned skin underneath. Depending on the depth of pigmentation, light to medium peels may be recommended to reduce age spots while also improving texture and brightness.
When combined with other treatments, chemical peels can significantly enhance results and restore a smoother, more youthful complexion.
3. Medical-Grade Skincare
Customized skincare plays an essential role in both treating and preventing age spots. Medical-grade topical products may include ingredients that help regulate pigment production, support skin renewal, and protect against further UV damage.
At EyeFACE Institute, skincare recommendations are tailored to your specific skin type and treatment plan, ensuring optimal results and long-term skin health.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most non-surgical age spot removal treatments are performed in-clinic and require little to no downtime. Depending on the treatment type, patients may experience:
- Mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment
- Temporary darkening of spots before they fade
- Gradual improvement in skin tone over several weeks
Your provider will give detailed aftercare instructions, including sun protection and skincare guidance, to support healing and prevent recurrence.
Preventing Age Spots After Removal
Successful age spot removal doesn’t end with treatment—it requires ongoing prevention. To protect your results, EyeFACE Institute strongly emphasizes:
- Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Wearing protective clothing and hats outdoors
- Avoiding peak sun exposure
- Maintaining a consistent, medical-grade skincare routine
These habits not only help prevent new age spots but also slow the overall ageing process of the skin.
