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 chemical peel. The day of treatment the spot is pink and stings. The next few days the pick spot turns dark due to the dead skin (conceal with make-up). By one week the spot is gone. My doctor charges about $100 for removing 13 spots.

Hi Nhaven,

$100 seems like a steal for 13 spots, how great for you. I'm glad it sounds like an easy procedure too. Pictures would be great!

Thanks so much!

No pictures because the spots are GONE! But they were scattered on my face.

That's cool NHaven, I'm so happy for you that the spots are gone. Congrats! Have a good weekend!

NHaven, can you possibly pm me the name of your doctor, please? Thanks!

Did I tell you yet? Don't remember! It's Dr. Michael John, 15th Street, Edmond, Oklahoma. He's a dermatologist who does NOT do laser so has managed to become extremely skilled in spot removal. Best wishes.

Does this treatment work on arms and legs? I have spots there that I'd like to remove.
NHaven 11 Feb 2012
The greatest skill is required on the face because too deep penetration with the liquid nitrogen can cause scarring on fragile skin. That's why I wouldn't go to someone unless they do this every day! Dr. John has easily removed brown spots on my lower legs. My sister had the back of her hands treated successfully by her dermatologist in Atlanta. I think only the face requires great expertise. Wherever the spots have been "frozen" off they have not returned. But, you wouldn't want to do too many spots really close together...ouch!

Thank you for your response. I have been looking for a successful way to remove the brown spots on my arms and legs. I would like something that is an non-invasive as possible, yet achieves reasonably good results. I'd not heard of using liquid nitrogen before, although I did have a small "wart" remove from leg with some kind of spray that "froze" it off.
I will see when it might be possible for me to go to Oklahoma City for an appointment.
Again, thank you for sharing. I appreciate it!

I have a few spots and would never go near a laser so this seems to be a good alternative.
