What is the best way to get rid of facial brown spots?

Hello,Thank you for your question. One of the best treatments for brown spots is IPL laser. You may need more than one session. It is best to consult with a local physician. Good luck!

Fraxel is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment that resurfaces your outer skin, erasing imperfections. It also encourages the production of collagen, a protein found in connective tissue.The result is clearly visible lines, folds and wrinkles. Fraxel laser skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive technique that affects only about 20 percent of the facial skin exposed to it. The most common side effects of Fraxel laser treatment are swelling and skin redness, which should subside within a couple of days. Other temporary side effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance. The risk of infection or scarring is very limited. You should stay out of the sun 2-4 weeks.

There is a couple different treatments you can do for this problem. The Sciton Profile BBL treatment works well in targeting melanin in the skin which causes the brown pigmentation. Another great option is the Permea laser by Clear and Brilliant. They are both quick and easy procedures, I recommend doing either in a series of 3or4 4-6 weeks apart.As always, wearing SPF45 or higher on a daily basis is very important.#sunspots. #brownspots. #agespots

Melasma and age spots are caused by a combination of factors, including:
AgeSun exposureGenetic factorsSkin color and typeEnvironmental influenceStressHormonesChronic inflammationThe treatment of age spots begins with rapid exfoliation and
correction of pigmentation. Benign sun damage responds well to Melarase
AM and Melarase PM creams + Melapads Daily Exfoliating Pads. Melapads
can gently replace chemical peels without the requisite peeling. I would
begin with Melarase creams and Melapads and follow up for IPL or BBL
(or similar laser) to help eliminate the remaining stubborn spots.

There are several technologies available for removal of brown spots, and the choice of which modality depends on several factors. In general, avoidance of sun exposure and use of sunscreen, is important both to lessen the appearance of brown spots, as well as to prepare for treatment.  Lasers that target pigment like Alexandrite, or treatments with IPL (intense pulsed light) can very safely and effectively remove unwanted dark spots in 1-3 treatments. Make sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, with experience with laser- and light-based treatments.
