Solar Lentigines (Liver Spots)

Lentigines are larger and darker than freckles and may have irregular edges. They occur mainly on sun-exposed skin and the next commonest place after the face is the back of the hands. Their numbers increase with increasing age as the ‘’dosage’’ of sun exposure accumulates.

They can be treated again with different lasers, but unlike freckles, they usually require more than 1 treatment, but no more than 2 or 3.
