Sun spots on face are not the same as the sun spots you may have on your shoulders or on your back. If anything, they are similar, but not the same, as the spots people get on their hands. The first thing you need to take into consideration is the fact that your face has been exposed to the sun more than any other part of your body. As such, the spots on your face are almost always likely to run deep into the skin than elsewhere, thereby making them harder to remove. Depending on your level of urgency, your way of thinking, and also your financial situation, you have several options for getting rid of those spots which seem to be haunting you. Laser Treatments Laser treatments offer a quick and effective solution, but there are a few downsides. First of all, laser treatments aren't an option for all skin types, and as a result, you might find your dermatologist advises you against going this route. Secondly, spot removal usually requires several successive treatments, so depending on how many spots you have; you could find yourself visiting the clinic weekly for the next year or more. Lastly but not least, the cost of laser treatment is notoriously expensive, so expect to see a significant reduction in your bank balance. Chemical Peels While I personally would never advise, nor recommend that anyone go for a chemical peel in order to have face spots removed, I have to acknowledge the fact that chemical peels can be incredibly effective. In fact, the results can sometimes be almost unbelievable, but of course they come at a price. Whether the very mild peels are able to remove sun spots or not is a matter of much debate, but for the most part, they're not considered effective. Generally speaking, in order to remove sun spots on face, you would require a deep peel, in which you would more than likely have to remain in hospital, at least for a day or two. You would also have to use sunscreen lotion for the rest of your life, which may or may not be a steep price to pay. As with laser treatments, deep chemical peels are expensive, and quite often beyond the average person's means. Microderm Abrasion This is another artificial/mechanical means of removing several layers of skin at a time. The actual depth of abrasion will depend on the dermatologist you see. Although considered to be a relatively safe procedure, things can go wrong, resulting in unsightly scarring. The biggest downside to this approach is once again the cost of treatments, as well as the inconvenience of having to attend numerous appointments. Spot Removal Creams and Lotions There are nowadays a plethora of products specifically marketed for the purpose of sun spots on face, but of course many don't work, and many can in fact be very damaging to the delicate facial skin. The biggest problem here is that manufacturers want you to see noticeable results in as short a time as possible. The logic behind this is that if you use their spot remover and you see noticeable results after just three or four days, you'll almost certainly continue using their product, and you're also likely to recommend it to others. This may be good for business, but, but it's certainly not good for your skin. In order to produce such rapid results, a very powerful chemical would be necessary, and any chemical, let alone one which is so strong, should never even be used on your skin, and most definitely not on your face. Instead of risking long term damage, rather use an all-natural product, even if it means you'll have to wait a little to be free of spots. Another huge benefit of using a good quality, chemical free spot reducer, is that it will more than likely also contain various other ingredient which are beneficial to your skin. Sun spots on face can be notoriously difficult to treat, but the good news is it can be done, and it can be done in a manner which is natural, safe, and totally pain free.
