I am going to be honest with you when I say that no matter what you may have been told; there has never been a home remedy for age spots that has worked effectively. Many people over the years have emptied their kitchen cabinets in search of anything acidic enough to alleviate the embarrassment that they suffer from the outbreak of these liver colored marks on their skin.

Due to their color, these marks were actually referred to as liver spots for many years. It wasn’t until much later that someone, probably someone in the cosmetics industry, came up with the brilliant idea to call these marks age spots. The timing of the appearance of these marks made the connection between their presence and growing old an easy one.

Of course, there may have already been a tie made between the aging process and the rise of these marks, because it is unknown when the first person began to seek out a home remedy for age spots. Skin care solutions are usually handed down through generations of women in a family, and most families cannot accurately trace a particular remedy back with any sort of accuracy.

These spots should not have bothered people quite so much as they did, because they don’t really have anything to do with getting old at all. they are actually cause by cellular damage caused by the sun, which is why the defense system in the body that produces melanin hyperpigmentation goes haywire, and you begin to tan in tiny little areas. Tanning is actually what melanin hyperpigmentation is.

A home remedy for age spots usually includes something such as orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit juices, onion juice, or one of the forms of vinegar. These compounds are usually good for toning the ski for a few hours, but they will do nothing for removing brown spots on the skin. And, God forbid you try a remedy that calls for putting something such as bleach on your skin.

This is actually what you are doing when you use the majority of the products to alleviate these spots on your skin. It would not be wise to try your own bleach based concoction at home, and it is not a smart move to use these cosmetics products either. Bleach will not erase these marks on your skin, but will leave your skin looking blotchy, and uneven.

While no home remedy for age spots, the all natural skin care formulas that contain the melanin inhibiting extract taken from Extrapone nut grass root will do the job effectively. Not only will this compound blend the spots that you already have in with your regular skin tone, but by reducing your melanin production by up to 40% it will prevent any new spots from appearing.

A home remedy for age spots will not give you the benefits that you will enjoy from products featuring Extrapone nut grass root extract as their primary ingredient. If you want your skin to look even again, then these products are an absolute must for you to use.

After a drought of two years without any new developments in the anti aging industry, there is a new and exciting device in the market called Ulthera. This device is developed in USA and seems to be the next big wave in the world of aesthetics. Before, most of the devices that are out in the market are variations of pre-existing technology. The Ulthera does not use laser or light, but Ultrasounds waves.
 
Using a probe that scans the skin and allows us to see that we are delivering the ultrasound energy to the desired skin layer, it causes collagen regrowth and skin lifting. It is especially great for hooding around the eyes. There are preliminary observations that it reduces dynamic lines too. As it uses ultrasound, this device is colour blind, like Thermage, it is safe all skin colours which is so important in our multicultural island. It will be hitting our island by next month.
 
Engaging thermal injury to stimulate the wound healing process, intervening healthy tissue from the epidermis down to the point of treatment is mercifully spared, leaving the surface skin virtually free from any possible side effects.
 
The procedure is slightly painful without any anaesthetic cream but upon application of some topical anaesthesia, the treatment can be relatively painless. It takes about 40 minutes to do a full face treatment and there maybe some slight erythema (redness) initially for the first half hour. The results happens gradually over a period of 3 to 6 months and if more improvement is desired, it can be repeated then. Otherwise maintenance once a year is enough to keep the skin tight and snug.
