Are Brown Spots and Freckling Permanent After Laser Hair Removal?

Brown spots this soon after laser hair removal probably represent treatment of pre-existing brown spots on the face.  The laser light is absorbed by the pigment within the freckle or other area of pigment, causing it to darken. On the other hand, you probably should be sure to follow up with your treating doctor to have him assess the situation and take a post treatment look at your pre-treatment photos to see what was there before the treatment.

Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a condition in which the pigment in your skin increases as a result of inflammation or healing.  This usually shows up not days but weeks after a trauma to the skin.  If some temporary bronzing or flaking occurs the dead skin cells can look darker than usual but the skin left behind normally is not pigmented.  You would need to be examined to tell better what your situation is and it would be helpful to know what laser it was and your skin type.

 Dark spots after laser hair removal are not worrisome most likely they will disappear fairly quickly. This looks like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and it resolves over time. Contact your provider and inform them about everything that is going on with the area treated. Good luck!
