Park Slope Dermatology & Medi SpaA solar lentigo is a harmless patch of darkened skin. It results from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes local proliferation of melanocytes and accumulation of melanin within the skin cells (keratinocytes). Solar lentigos or lentigines are very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years. Sometimes they are also known as an “old age spot” or “senile freckle.”
At Park Slope Dermatology, we use Excel V to target these spots, and as proven by our clinical before and after photographs, this treatment is very effective.
