Age Spots
Age spots, liver spots or sun spots are patches of dark skin that occur naturally as a result of ageing. They usually appear in places most exposed to the sun like the face, arms, hands and shoulders.
They reflect the effect UV light has on our skin. When we’re young, our body is able to reproduce cells that deal with environmental damage like UV light well. As we age, this ability weakens.
You don’t need to have spent excessive time in the sun to develop age spots as they’re a natural part of the human life cycle. However, they can be exasperated by too much sun or even artificially produced UV light like sunbeds.
The appearance of age spots affects how you may carry yourself. They can make you appear older than you are which could in turn lower your self-esteem.
There is something you can do about it. Here at Define Clinic, we can provide you with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment and you can regain your confidence once again.

Customer
reviewed onA five star review for five star treatment. I’ve just started going to Define and I’ve decided to have a number of treatments. So far, I’m very pleased with the results. On top of this, every single member of staff is so welcoming, professional and at the top of their game. It’s not very affordable, but you get what you pay for!

reviewed onI highly recommend Define Clinic. I decided to travelled there from Norfolk following a very informative phone consultation with Ashleigh. I’m pleased to say the treatment and service did not disappoint. On arrival I was welcomed with a smile (under our masks!) and both Ashleigh and Benji were really reassuring and friendly throughout. Well worth the 2.5 hr journey to get there.
