I am 39 year old female with brown spots, some freckling, broken capillaries and red blotches/rosacea, and dull skin that does not exfoliate well. Which laser treatment would be best for me? Also, in regard to the actual machine, which type is best? What is the minimum power or frequency needed for very good results? I have called several doctors and they all say their machines are best for what I need. Please help!
Answer: Pigmented spot treatment recommendations OTC are good for superficial pigment but for good long lasting results we recommend laser treatments. Lasers that we and many others have seen good results in are Fraxel Dual, Clear+Brilliant, 755nm Alexandrite, and IPL. For our patients with solitary age spots we recommend the 755 Alexandrite laser. These lasers have different downtimes and associated costs. Usually we recommend at least four to six treatments depending on your response at a month a part. In addition to lasers would recommend a prescription retinol product (e.g. tretinoin

Answer: Co2 Thank you for your question. CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment is very beneficial for making acne scars diminish, removing age spots, increases collagen and elasticity production. This is done by removing deeper layers of damaged skin and stimulating the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. This treatment is also beneficial for uneven pigmentation, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles, precancerous spots, and a host of other skin imperfections and benign lesions. If you believe you may be a candidate for CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment, a qualified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can carefully analyze your skin and determine if the procedure is right for you

Answer: Getting Rid of Brown Spots - What's the "Holy Grail"? Most machines are "skin specific" and by that I mean your genetic background will often dictate which treatments are best for you and won't cause increased hyperpigmentation. And yes, it does happen!

Answer: Treatment for Brown Spots A medical-grade topical bleaching skincare product and in-office treatment would be the best approach. For treating brown spots, our best solution that gets results is with either a BBL (Broad Band Light Therapy) or HALO Fractional Laser. We are also able to treat red spots with the BBL and HALO. You will get results faster with the HALO Fractional Laser (2 treatments suggested); however, great results are achievable with one treatment. Using a topical Vitamin C in the morning (SkinCeuticals or Revisions) with a sunscreen daily, in addition to, a Retinol and a hydroquinone at night. There are also products using Kojic Acid instead of Hydroquinone. We require a consultation to ensure that you are a candidate for the procedures and also for the products. We make sure that proper documentation is made using a VISIA for photos to track your progress.

Answer: Brown Spots Hello,Thank you for your question . A photo facial treatment would be the best option for you. It will treat the brown spots, redness, and capillaries. We use a palomar laser, and can switch between different handpieces to get the best result. For instance the wave lengths of the green handpiece works best of reds and capillaries. While the wavelength of the yellow handpiece works best on the brown. It is just as important to make sure that the doctor is qualified and experienced with this level of work. Good luck!
