Glossary

Senile lentigos are brown spots that develop with age and whose main cause is exposure to the sun. Senile lentigos appear on the back of the hands, on the face and the neckline. Senile lentigos can be treated with TCA peels or even Q-switch pigment lasers whose adapted beam will target the mark. As soon as senile lentigos start to appear on the face, the process has been triggered. One then has to protect oneself for life from the sun with "sun block" creams and antioxidant creams.
