Age spots are really nothing more than a nuisance -- they won't hurt you. However, if you don't like they way they look, there are several ways to banish them from your skin. If you decide you want to get rid of them, you should consult a dermatologist to find out what treatment is best for you. Money might play a factor -- one of the procedures tends to be much more expensive than the others. One of the most common treatments to fade age spots is a chemical peel. It uses acid to remove the top layer of your skin and allow newer, healthier skin to take its place. It may take several chemical peels before your age spot disappears, but it can be effective.
