I had a fotofacial 5 weeks ago. This was my 5th session (which alternated with microdermbrasion). The purpose of the foto facial was to remove age spots/brown spots on my cheeks/nose. The procedure resulted in a burn spot on my cheek. It is size of a tip of pencil eraser. First, it was... Read more

I was warmly welcomed and this procedure was thoroughly explained before receiving the actual treatment. Although a little uncomfortable, the discomfort was temporary with minimal swelling and redness. Since returning home, I have had many compliments about how great my skin looks. I wanted my...

My dermatologist froze four age spots off my hands with liquid nitrogen. It was very minor ache type pain for a couple of hours, then they turned red, slightly swollen, then scabbed over. Three weeks later they simply peeled off. The areas stayed pink for a couple of weeks then turned skin... Read more

I love my skin after IPL. I was a teenage sun goddess and needed to undo a lot of sun damage that started becoming visible in my early 30s. IPL was a quick, effective and positive solution to my skin woes. It removed a number of dark sun spots, improved the texture of my skin and helped reduce... Read more

Each brown spot is usually smaller than the tip of a q-tip but looks awful and only gets worse untreated. The trick is the ability of the dermatologist; going deep enough to remove the discoloration but not so deep that there is lightening or scarring. It's so much kinder than a facial... Read more

I've tried IPL and fraxel to remove my "sun spots" but haven't had any results, so the doctor recommended DOT therapy. Removing the sun spots is my main objective, but it's also supposed to improve skin texture and fine lines, which would be an excellent side benefit since... Read more

I got several courses of IPL for very dark sun spots that suddenly showed up after a Greek vacation. I was dissappointed that they did not go away entirely - they are still visible. But they did fade a lot. I even used a hydroquinine cream for a while and it seemed to do nothing. If I could... Read more

I went into a med spa which advertised ktp laser for removal of brown spots and capillaries.
