Age Spots & Telangiectasia

Age spots are flat areas of excess pigment caused mainly by cumulative sun exposure, while telangiectasia refers to small, visible dilated blood vessels near the skin’s surface. Both are influenced by sun damage, circulation, and skin repair, and because that repair is tied to your circadian rhythm, ongoing sun exposure and poor recovery allow them to build up over time.

Who this applies to

Age spots appear across all skin tones, though higher Fitzpatrick types must be especially cautious, since aggressive pigment treatments can trigger further discolouration rather than improvement. Telangiectasia is common with aging, sun damage, and conditions like rosacea. Careful assessment is important before attempting to treat either concern, and daily sun protection is essential.

My recommendation

Total Beauty Care by Silde is now a fully online practice, so this page is guidance rather than a bookable in-person service. The best starting point is a Circadian Skin Analysis, a written report that assesses your skin type, triggers, and daily rhythm and gives you a targeted plan for managing pigmentation and visible vessels safely for your skin tone. Digital guides and recommended products will be added here as they are released.
