Laser Treatment Options
Can laser remove dark spots on your face? Absolutely! Laser treatments can effectively remove dark spots on your face, and the exact laser used will depend on the type of brown spot.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Intense Pulsed Light can be used to remove brown spots, and also help reduce the number of brown spots you get in the future. This targeted device uses light and heat to target brown spots. IPL can also improve red spots, acne, rosacea, facial rejuvenation, and acne scarring.
Fractional Laser
Brown spots can develop anywhere on your body. Fractional lasers are versatile and can effectively treat brown spots anywhere on the body. These lasers use microscopic laser beams to target the surface and deeper layer of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Q-Switched Laser
Q-Switched lasers are specifically designed to target and break up brown pigmentation, making them an excellent choice for certain types of brown spots. Q-switched laser skin resurfacing works with your body's chemistry to target brown spots and skin pigment at different levels of the skin.

Understanding Dark Skin Spots
While called dark spots, brown spots, liver spots, or age spots, note that this hyperpigmentation of the skin isn't always brown. Dark pigmented skin lesions can appear black, brown, or blue and can occur anywhere on the body.
Types of Dark Spots:
- Freckles: Small, flat, brown marks in sun-exposed areas
- Lentigines: Similar to freckles but larger and don't fade in winter
- Melasma: Brown or gray-brown patches, usually on the face
- Seborrheic keratoses: Brown, black or light tan growths
- Cafe-au-lait spots: Flat, pigmented birthmarks from light brown to chocolate brown
- Moles (Nevi): Small, dark brown spots caused by clusters of pigmented cells
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Darkening after inflammatory conditions like acne
Common Causes:
- Sun exposure and UV radiation
- Natural aging process
- Genetics and family history
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Childhood sunburn (delayed reaction)
