Laser Away Hyperpigmentation

Dark spots aren’t harmful, but you might be unhappy dealing with them. Dark spots can appear like an unwanted birthmark and you might find yourself constantly trying to cover it up with makeup. Instead of constantly applying makeup, you can talk to our dermatologist about laser treatment for dark spots.

Laser treatment is safe and minimally invasive. The procedure usually takes around 30 minutes to complete, and you’ll have a numbing cream applied before the treatment starts. Your dermatologist will use a laser to target specific problem areas that have dark spots.

Laser treatment also helps rejuvenate your skin by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. After treatment is done, you should be sure to avoid sun exposure and avoid scrubbing the area with hot water or harsh chemicals. Once treatment is over and you get the results that you wanted, you should be sure to avoid future sun spots from developing. You can do this by always wearing sunscreen and making sure to cover up your skin while you’re in the sun. You should also be sure to treat any acne breakouts and wear sunscreen to protect sensitive skin.
