Causes of liver spots. Liver spots are caused due to exposure to UV or ultraviolet light from the sun over a period of several years. It can also result from excessive use of tanning beds and tanning lamps. The epidermis or the upper layer of the skin contains a pigment known as melanin, which gives the skin its color.iver spots, also known as age spots and solar lentigines, are flat, brown, gray or black spots that generally occur on the face, shoulders, hands and arms.
Brown spots on the skin, also referred to as liver spots, may occur when extra melanin clumps together. Exposure to sun and tanning beds, both of which emit ultraviolet light, can hasten the development of these liver spots; however, it often takes years for the pigment to become pronounced enough to notice.
