Treatment of dark age spots

As age the pigment cells in the skin migrate into small gatherings on the skin surface creating freckle like age spots  i.e. a blotchy skin pigmentation. The medical term is solar lentigines. Without a face to face examination one cannot say what would be best in your case. Your available options are chemical peel, laser resurfacing and IPL.
