How to Remove Age Spots in Young People

The reason why age spots are called age spots is because they generally appear on the elderly. If age spots appear on young people, the embarrassment and pain they bring to young people is understandable. Therefore, once young people have age spots, they must find a way to treat them. In fact, the appearance of age spots has no direct relationship with aging, so young people don’t need to be afraid.

However, the appearance of age spots does affect the image of young people and also brings psychological pressure. What methods can we use to remove age spots in young people? Let’s take a look at the introduction below.

Age spots are actually pigment spots composed of lipofuscin. Because they often appear on the elderly, they are also called "age spots". In fact, this is a misnomer. Some young people also have "age spots". This kind of pigment spot is a toxic or non-toxic waste accumulated by human cells during metabolism, and is closely related to the body's immune function and metabolic capacity.

Age spots in young people do not mean they are beginning to age.

Age spots appear as light brown, brown or black patches or spots, which are flat or slightly raised, neither painful nor itchy. The spots or patches vary in size and number, some can reach 2 to 3 cm in diameter, and some will slowly grow larger or darker in color. In addition to the face, its traces can often be seen on the back of the hands, calves, insteps, and torso. There are many theories about the formation mechanism of age spots, and the generally accepted one in the medical community is that it is related to the decline of cell metabolism function. Although age spots mostly appear on the elderly, young people can also get them due to congenital heredity and excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays.

"Age spots" are most afraid of sun exposure

Although age spots have no adverse effects on health, they should not be repeatedly exposed to the sun, lest they develop into another skin disease, "solar keratosis". This disease has a higher rate of canceration and is recognized as a precancerous lesion. A reminder to patients with age spots: bring sun protection tools when going out in the hot summer, or wear long-sleeved clothes to minimize ultraviolet exposure. This is the best preventive measure.

A big problem when young people develop age spots is that it is unsightly and makes them look as if they are really starting to age. Experts believe that age spots that have already appeared can only be removed by laser spot removal. However, patients are advised to eat more foods rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, such as vegetables, fruits, vegetable oils, soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts, melon seeds, animal liver and kidneys, dairy products, etc., which can slowly stop the growth of plaques or slow down their growth rate.

In addition, according to expert investigations, actors and singers develop age spots later than ordinary people, mainly due to the fact that they have more facial muscle movements. Therefore, it is recommended that you chew slowly when eating to improve facial blood circulation and skin metabolism, thereby delaying the arrival of age spots.
