Welcome to Medicine 4U, where your skin’s health and confidence come first. Under the expert care of Dr. Amanda P. Shukla, DO, our experienced medical team specializes in treating age spots, often referred to as sun spots, dark spots, skin discolorations, or liver spots. At our Union City, NJ clinic, we focus on personalized, results-driven treatments that help restore an even, youthful glow to your skin.
What Causes Age Spots to Appear?
Age spots develop when certain areas of the skin produce too much melanin, the natural pigment that gives skin its tone. Although they’re more common as we get older—especially after 50—they can occur at any age. Sun exposure is the main trigger, since UV rays stimulate extra melanin production. As a result, these dark patches tend to form on areas that get the most sunlight, like the face, arms, shoulders, and hands.
At Medicine 4U, Dr. Amanda P. Shukla, DO and our skincare experts take a personalized approach to help fade existing spots and protect your skin from future discoloration.
