Individuals with darker complexions, such as asians, hispanics, and those of african ancestry, can experience dark spots following injury or inflammation. Inflammation can be from acne, bug bites, or from a itching or a rash. Because of this tendency in some to develop the darkened areas, caution in selection the right treatments must be exercised. Traditional lasers that use heat injury in the skin to lift abnormal pigment, not only heats the dark spot, but an area surrounding the spot, and can worsen the condition or cause additional or new darkened spots.  Newer techniques and strategies which we have found to be very successful is to use devices which generate and incite less heat into the tissue, but can still target the dark spot.  In laser technology today, that is found in the Picosecond Lasers. Specifically fractionated picosecond pico laser treatments. They allow the laser pulse to be delivered many fractions of a second faster to the spot, meaning less time for heat to sit on the skin. So the treatment quickly and precisely can hit the target with less risk for collateral damage.  Being a safer treatment, it will go more slowly overall, meaning having more sessions for a more significant improvement in appearance. But safety is always first. Another alternative treatment to Fractionated Picosecond Laser is Microneedling which will also require several sessions for maximal benefit.
