About Fade Away ?

Fade Away may reduce the appearance of these unattractive spots on the hands and body!

We all love the sunshine, but it can do really nasty things to the skin! And we’re not just talking wrinkles here. One of the major side effects of spending time in the sun are spots, sun-spots, age-spots, freckles and larger patches of uneven pigmentation that can really mar otherwise beautiful skin.

It is estimated that the majority of people suffer from some sort of body pigmentation due to sun-damage. Sun and age spots appear on the back of the hands or the neck and chest area where the skin may have been exposed. Brown dull-looking, patchy spots may have developed.

What can Fade Away Do ?

I was too embarrassed to wear low cut tops
I grew up in the seventies and it was a decade of sun-worshipping. As a result, I developed patchiness and freckles all over my chest. The skin just looked terrible and I became too embarrassed to wear low-cut tops. Your product has been a godsend I have been using it for just 4 weeks now and I can already see the difference. I know that by summer, I’ll be confident enough to wear the tops I long to. Thank you Skin Doctors!

What are age spots & freckles ?

Lentigo's, or "age spots" as they are often called, are small brown spots usually found in the areas of the face and at the back of the hand. The spots resemble freckles, except that lentigo's are darker and larger by comparison. The condition is harmless, but should not be confused with melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Lentigo's affects both sexes equally. Ethnically, the majority of cases occur in skin types I-II, although Lentigo has been reported in all other types, but on very rare occasion. The lighter complexion in Caucasians increases one's sun sensitivity and gives way for the increased risk of having the condition. Individuals that suffer from the inability to tan to natural sunlight are especially at risk. Genetic factors should also be considered; persons with a family history of melanoma, or potential precursors to melanoma are more at risk to developing lentigo's.

Lentigo growth is a direct result of sun-damaged skin. The lesion on the skin may remain stable, grow slowly, or even evolve rapidly. Usually, the lesion starts off as a small, tan or light brown spot and becomes darker or more varied in pigmentation over time. Quite possibly, darker pigmented areas can become lighter, and vice versa. As a result, some patients have a haphazard display of light and dark pigmentation on the lesion.

Lesions may have a smooth outline at first, but over time the lesion can develop a more disorganized distribution, as some areas may continue to grow while other areas remain stoic. These lesions can be as small as 3 to 5mm in diameter, or have a diameter as large as 3cm of more. Lesions usually occur on the face and hands; lentigo occurs in areas of our skin in which clothing does not shield the sun's rays.

Lentigo's, or "age spots" are sometimes also referred to as "liver spots", although the condition has absolutely nothing to do with the liver. The condition is not life threatening, and is easily masked by ointments or creams. Using sunscreen is the best way to prevent against the condition.

Freckles (Ephelides) are light brown patches, usually less than 0.5 cm in diameter, found on the skin of individuals mostly with red or blonde hair, and blue or gray eyes. There is a direct relationship to appearance of freckles with exposure to sunlight. In fact, an increase in size, number, and darkness of pigmentation occurs significantly during the summer months. During the winter months, freckles tend to disappear. Freckling occurs because the body produces the dark pigment melanin as protection against sunlight.

Individuals with skin type I - III are particularly likely to have freckles. Genetics plays a large role, and individuals of Celtic descent are most likely to have freckles. Age can also play a role, with freckles first appearing about the age of five, and eventually disappearing as one get older.

The best way to manage freckles is to just avoid direct exposure to the sun. Makeup, and wearing protective clothing are also recommended. More aggressive forms of treatment that will actually remove freckles, include solid carbon dioxide or phenol application. Fade away is a more gentle and inexpensive alternative.
