Sun spots are one of many ways your skin’s health and appearance can be compromised. Sun spots can be anywhere from small and subtle to large and unsightly, and either form can cause issues with self-esteem and overall happiness with how you look.
They commonly appear on the face but can show up anywhere on the body that regularly sees sun exposure. Once they appear, they won’t disappear on their own. The best thing you can do for existing sun spots is work to reduce and remove them! The best course of action is to seek professional treatment, though there are some things you can do on your own to help.
Read on to learn more about sun spots and how to treat them.
What are Sun Spots?
Sun spots are also known as age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigo. They are spots that appear on the skin as a result of sun exposure over the years. Eventually, too much exposure can result in proper sun damage. This triggers the production of cells known as melanocytes which produce additional pigment in the area.
For some, they can simply look like small freckles. However, larger, more prominent spots can also appear. Many people struggle with sun spots on their face as the face tends to get the most exposure of anywhere else on the body. Unfortunately, they won’t fade on their own and will need treatment.
Sun Spot Treatment
When the spots become overwhelming, it can take a hit on your confidence and self-esteem as it’ll be quite noticeable. Thankfully, we offer a variety of skin resurfacing treatments that can help you reduce and even get rid of these spots for a cleaner, clearer look and healthier skin.
Venus Viva MD
The Venus Viva MD is a gentle and non-invasive device that uses radiofrequency technology to treat a variety of skin concerns. It’s the perfect alternative to more invasive options like microneedling or surgery.
It works by applying heat directly to the skin of the target area. The NanoFractional Radiofrequency technology combines with SmartScan technology which stimulates fibroblasts. This activates your body’s internal healing process.

Home Remedies
While no home remedy or DIY treatment will fully eliminate sun spots, there are some things you can do at home to help the process. These things keep your skin in good condition and may minimally remove discolouration.
These things may be good to try in between treatments with our professional devices. Many of these steps can also help prevent further damage, thus preventing more sun spots from occuring.
- Some active compounds in aloe vera may help lighten spots when applied topically.
- Licorice extract can also help lighten sun spots and other discolouration. It’s an ingredient often included in topical lightening creams.
- Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that is immensely beneficial to the skin. Not only can it help lighten spots but it can protect your skin from further UV damage.
- Vitamin E can be taken orally and applied topically. Both methods are great for your skin and can help protect against sun damage while.
- Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which is known for lightening pigmentation and improving the overall look of your skin.
- Although anecdotal, many have found applying green tea bags to the skin can help reduce the look of sun spots.
- Lemon juice is often used for lightening hair and may be just as effective on the skin. It’s a common ingredient in skin-lightening creams. It’s important to note that it’s a drying ingredient, so should be applied along with a hydrating moisturizer.
- Honey is full of antioxidants and may help promote new cell growth, thus helping the skin heal and rejuvenate.
