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 methods is red light therapy, which can help 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 appear as areas of darker-looking skin that develop when the skin produces excess natural pigment in response to UV exposure.
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 methods?
While chemical peels and lasers can be effective, their aggressive nature can irritate and damage the skin, resulting in unwanted side effects, including redness and peeling, with a risk of marking the skin long-term in some cases.
Natural methods are typically far gentler and safer. Available from the comfort of your home, natural age spot removal techniques often provide general benefits for the skin, brightening and boosting radiance 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, boosting collagen production and supporting skin 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, red light therapy increases cell turnover, supporting a more even skin tone, while reducing redness. 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 sessions 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 help 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, age spots can appear less noticeable with red light therapy, offering a gentle way to support a more even-looking complexion.
At-home devices such as the CurrentBody Skin LED Red Light Therapy Mask and LED Light Therapy Panel make it easier and more convenient than ever to self-care your way to brighter, clearer, younger-looking skin, anytime, anywhere.
