Age Spots?

I turned 70, and I am starting to get too many of the brown spots that so many older people get.  They are on my arms and I hate the way they look.  Is it easy to get rid of those?

These are very common as you get older.  Some people have sun damage that causes more diffuse browning of the skin, while others have isolated brown spots, which are frequently seborrheic keratosis.  These are very slightly raised, skin colored, or brownish spots.   Both can be treated in a number of different ways.  A good way to treat these quickly is with laser treatment.  It may only take one or two sessions to get rid of the brown spots.
