Sun Damage and Age Spots Removal in Maidstone, Kent

Clients at Juvenology in Maidstone often ask, “How do I get rid of sun spots?” or “Can I fix this sun damage without obvious work?” The answer is a big YES.

It’s normal to feel unsure at first (I’ve been there too!), but there are gentle treatments that help your skin look fresher and brighter.

What’s really going on with your skin?

Sun damage builds up slowly from years of enjoying the outdoors. Over time, UV rays cause your skin to produce extra pigment. This shows up as brown patches or age spots, your skin’s way of saying, “I’ve been busy!”

Solar lentigo is a harmless patch of darkened skin that many of us notice as we get older. It happens because of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, which causes an increase in the skin’s pigment cells called melanocytes, leading to extra melanin building up in the skin.

You might have heard these called “age spots,” “old age spots,” or “senile freckles.” They’re very common, especially once you’re over 40, and while they’re nothing to worry about medically, many people come to me wanting to brighten or even them out for a fresher look.

If you see new freckles, uneven tone, or less glow, it’s classic hyperpigmentation or sun spots. It can make your skin feel tired or uneven. But remember, this happens to lots of people, and there’s no shame in wanting a brighter complexion.

What can we actually do about it? Let me break it down…

Here are some gentle, effective treatments we offer at Juvenology in Maidstone:

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy: A gentle light treatment that fades brown spots and redness with minimal downtime. Usually requires a few sessions. Works especially well for fair to medium skin tones.

• Chemical Peels: Exfoliate away pigmented cells to brighten your skin. Customizable to your skin’s needs. Many clients love the fresh glow after just a few treatments.

• PRP Vampire Facial: Tiny needles stimulate collagen production, fading pigmentation and smoothing texture, great for a natural glow without harsh treatments.

• Laser Therapy: Target stubborn age spots with more intensive treatments, perfect for mature skin or deeper pigmentation.

Choosing the right clinic really matters, okay?

• You’re treated by me, a nurse with clinical experience and a love for natural, subtle results.
