Answer: Brown spots and Asian skin At my practice, I suggest Pico Way 3-D Holographic Fractional laser for brown spots, specifically safe for Asian skin. In addition, I suggest Lytera 2.0 by Skin Medica twice daily as a home care prescription to minimize the appearance of the brown spots. Strict avoidance of the sun is recommended as well as mineral based sunscreen such as Elizabeth Arden Triple Protection Factor SPF 50.Pico Way is also safe for tattoo removal on all skin types. Another great laser facial option is the Pico Way Resolve laser facial which includes two depths for improvement in pigment as well as lines and wrinkles.Clear & Brilliant is a great option for patients that are able to do five to six treatments, once a month. In addition, Clear & Brilliant helps the appearance of pores and fine lines and wrinkles when multiple treatments are performed.Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: Clear and Brilliant We have seen some lifting of the pigments after 6 clear and Brilliant treatments, and recommend IPL for stubborn pigments not resolved with the laser.

Answer: Improving Dark Spots--lasers, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, skin care, sun protection A combination approach will give the most improvement. Dark spots can be improved with a combination of lasers (IPL, Fraxel, Tattoo), Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Best Treatment for Brown Spots Clear + Brilliant Perméa is safe but would offer only minor improvements for brown spots after a series of 4-6 treatments. IPL would offer more significant improvements, but may be risky for your skin type. The safest treatment with the most dramatic improvements for brown spots would be PicoSure Focus. PicoSure shatters pigment and does not rely on heat like most lasers, making it ideal for patients with darker skin tones. With PicoSure, you will see significant improvements after your first treatment, with a series of 2-3 for optimal results. We have treated a number of Asian patients with pigmentation who are all very pleased with their outcomes.
