How the Treatment Works
Laser treatments provide the best results for removing brown spots, freckles, sun damage, age spots, discoloration, and other hyper-pigmentation issues.
Each individual spot is treated with a laser beam that breaks up the pigmentation. A light crusting/scabbing will form over the next 2-3 days. This typically sloughs off over the next 4-7 days leaving you with fresh new skin. Light spots are typically removed in a single treatment. Darker spots will lighten up but may require another treatment to eliminate. Each brown spot responds differently.
