Age spots are just part of getting older—especially if you’ve had years of sun exposure—and I know how frustrating it is when one stubborn spot refuses to fade no matter what you throw at it. In this video, I walk you through a newer technology I’m using right now that can help send those dark spots into oblivion in just a few days. I’m talking about micro-dart patches, and I show you my own temple spot and the visible difference after using the patch for about a week. I also explain why topicals can take time: your skin has to produce new skin underneath and bring it to the surface. That’s why ingredients like kojic acid and alpha arbutin can be so helpful for breaking up melanin pockets and supporting a more even-looking complexion, especially when paired with exfoliation and AHAs like glycolic and lactic acid to speed up turnover. But the reason these micro-dart patches can work faster is because they help push brightening ingredients deeper into the skin—ingredients like aloe vera, kojic acid, alpha arbutin, and licorice root. I’ll show you how to apply them (clean skin, best at night for a full 8 hours) and where you can use them—face, hands, cheeks—anywhere you’ve got that one spot that just won’t budge.
