Sun spots, liver spots, or age spots—whatever you call them, these small, darkened patches are a common cause of frustration, revealing time spent in the sun and leaving many feeling self-conscious.
While there are plenty of home remedies available, one of the most effective natural treatments is red light therapy, which helps to turn the clock back on age spots for a clearer, more even-toned complexion.
What are age spots and what do they look like?
A common sign of sun-induced skin ageing, age spots are a form of hyperpigmentation, caused by an overproduction of melanin as the skin defends against the sun's harmful UV rays.
Over time, these spots build up and concentrate, growing darker and more noticeable. Ranging from light brown to black in colour and varying in size, they have a smooth, flat texture and can be found on most areas of the body.
Why choose natural age spot removal over harsh treatments?
While chemical peels, lasers and bleaching creams are effective, their aggressive nature can irritate and damage the skin, resulting in unwanted side effects, including redness, peeling and swelling, with a risk of scarring in some cases.
Natural treatments are far gentler and safer, without any risk or downtime. Available from the comfort of your home, natural age spot removal techniques often provide general benefits for skin health, boosting radiance and brightening the skin over time. This is where red light therapy comes in.
Red light therapy for age spots
Red light therapy uses specific and precise light wavelengths to penetrate the skin. These wavelengths are absorbed by cells and converted to energy, powering cellular functions including the natural healing process, boosting collagen production and triggering tissue repair, while improving blood flow, ensuring cells are fuelled with oxygen and essential nutrients needed to perform these functions effectively.
Does red light therapy help with age spots?
By improving blood flow and boosting healing, red light therapy increases cell turnover (helping to replace darker, pigmented skin cells with new, unpigmented ones), while reducing inflammation. This helps to improve overall skin health, with clearing and rejuvenating effects—90% of people in one study into red light therapy for skin ageing reported lighter dark spots after 4 weeks of treatment.

Other natural habits to support skin health
For best results, complement your red light therapy treatments with a healthy lifestyle. Staying well-hydrated and following a healthy, antioxidant-rich diet is key for maintaining skin health, keeping cells plump, strong, and provided with the nutrients needed to repair and regenerate effectively.
Using SPF daily to shield your skin from UV exposure is important to prevent new age spots from forming and existing patches from darkening, while protecting against other signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

Although completely natural and nothing to worry about, age spots are totally treatable with red light therapy, which provides a safe and natural spot-fading solution.
