KTP Laser to Remove Brown Spots?

July 15, 2009
Asked By:ytsirk978 in Northern Ca

I have one large brown spot on my face about 1 cm in diameter. I went to see a dermatologist who told me that his office can use KTP Laser to remove this brown spot and smaller ones around the face. But then I read online that KTP Laser is use to remove red vessels on the face? I'm confused.
