Brown Spots & Discoloration

Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots typically appearing on areas of the body exposed to ultraviolet light.

What is it?

Brown patches and uneven skin tone are regular aspects of skin aging. These small, level, dark, and differently-sized areas typically occur on the skin exposed to UV light—from sources like the sun, tanning beds, or sun lamps. Common places include the face, hands, shoulders and arms.


While these patches can affect all skin types, they are most prevalent in adults (usually those over 50) with lighter skin. Unlike freckles, these brown patches do not lighten over time. Although they are benign and don't necessitate medical attention, if you're bothered by their appearance, our certified, physician-led teams at our dermatology clinic can develop a customized treatment plan to give you a balanced and glowing skin tone.


How is it treated?

The team at Midwest Dermatology has decades of experience successfully treating brown spots and uneven skin tone. Based on your unique skin, our board-certified providers will prescribe the ideal treatment plan. We see reliable resuts from chemical peels, microneedling, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy or laser resurfacing. Each of these offer safe, long-lasting benefit to your skin's color and texture.


Schedule a consultation with one of our expert providers if you are interested in exploring treatment options that match your needs. Our convenient offices are located in in Farmington Hills, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Warren and St. Claire Shores, Michigan,
