I have had 5 -6 IPL treatment on my legs. The machine was turned up high enough for me to receive some burns. I also had a technician try Bbl, pico, a machine that removes tattoos. She tried several spots and nothing happened on my legs. I also use hydroquinone which helps a little. The BBL/IPL worked great in one treatment on my arms and chest. Surely in this day and time there is something that can be used for these spots on the legs.
Answer: IPL or LASERS for brown spots on legs? Hello - Yes! There is an option in this 60th year of Laser technology. In fact, it is one of our favorite lasers because it's the "work horse" for brown spots, age spots, freckles, dark birthmarks, etc.

Answer: Clear & Brilliant to remove brown spots Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: The device is only part of the procedure The device used is only as effective as the experience and expertise of the provider using it. Make sure you are working with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist who can accurately assess and diagnose the brown spots and then individualize a treatment plan that will meet your precise needs. With a qualified provider and a customized treatment plan, I would expect you to achieve a more satisfying result than you have thus far.

Answer: Treating Dark Spots - Who's Deciding the Treatment Course? You mention a technician - was this a physician or skin-trained RN or PA?It's always wise to take the time and make the investment if necessary in a full consultation with a fully educated and trained medical specialist. BBL and Pico are both reliable treatment options for discoloration as you experienced on other treated areas. That the areas on your legs are more resistant could mean you have more than just a "brown spot".Without the proper diagnosis of the skin problem, a review of your lifestyle habits, medication intake, genetic background and more, it's easy to end up with a hit and miss scenario as you describe.There are countless machines and treatment options for brown spots but not all are appropriate for all patients and conditions or body areas. I'd advise you to seek out a board dermatologist who has long term experience and multiple devices to choose from. Of course sunscreens uses daily are an important part of any pigmentation reduction program. So if you aren't covering your legs with long pants, be sure to apply sunscreen to all exposed skin.
