Question 1

what types of facials are there that will remove the age spots from my forehead and cheekbone area?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Lightening brown spots can be done with topical lightening creams such as a hydroquinone or with ipl (intense pulses light) treatments. Both of these can be included in a facial or photo-facial to reduce brown pigments and create a more uniform complexion. It is important to see a physician for an examination of the spots before proceeding.

Question 2

medicine for age spots?

Accepted Answer

There is none: Lasers can work well for some of these.  Something called Levulinic Acid applied to the skin and followed by blue light or IPL can also work very well to remove certain of them, even precancerous lesions.  You should see a dermatologist, preferably one with some cosmetic practice.

Question 3

Question 4

Age Spots: When apple cider vinegar is mixed with onion juice and applied directly to the skin, it can help you to get rid of age spots and sun spots.
Finely chop or blend an onion, and use a strainer or cheese cloth to squeeze and extract the juice.
Take one part of apple cider vinegar and one part of onion juice and mix them together.
Dab a cotton pad into the solution and apply it directly to age spot.

White matter lesions: Most older folks due to aging and atherosclerosis, show signs of "microvascular angiopathy", which may or may not correlate with stroke risk or memory loss..In fact these lesions are nonspecific and the full correlative value is not totally understood.

Question 6

could a 17 yr old have sun spots/age spots?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I have seen freckles in toddlers and these are "sun spots" from sun exposure. If your skin is prone to this already at your age, you need to be obsessive about putting on sun screen daily to all exposed skin or covering it up. Avoid mid-day sun if possible.

Question 7

what can i use to remove age spots on my face? i have tried several creams, but nothing seems to help.

Facial age spots: I am not sure if you are using otc creams or physician prescribed ones.
