Brown Laser Spot Treatments

Small brown spots, also called age spots, often can be easily removed using laser treatment. Fortunately, laser surgery does not usually cause bruising or complications. Laser surgery is simply using small light beams to treat the skin.

  1. How It Works

    • The laser targets a certain area of skin and your body's red blood cells absorb the light. The laser destroys the bad cells in your body and leaves behind the healthy cells.

    Characteristics of Treatment

    • Pain during laser treatments is minimal. While everyone has a different reaction to pain, most people will not find it difficult to get through. Each laser treatment session takes about 20 minutes.

    Number of Treatments

    • It can take anywhere from one to a few treatments to successfully remove brown spots. The effects of laser treatment are permanent. However, it's best to protect yourself from the sun to prevent new brown spots from appearing.
