I have numerous brown spots on my arms and wondered if fraxel laser or IPL might help correct this? Also, is there a chance of "rebound" hyper pigmentation?

Answer: Brown spots on arms Fraxel is the ideal laser for brown spots on the arms and sun damage. However, you have to keep in mind two things - that the laser for extensive sun damage needs to be repeated at least three times to get rid of the sun damage - and that if there are extremely dark sun spots you may need spot treatment with the tri-vantage laser or Yag laser. For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with Fraxel and lasers.

Answer: The Fraxel Restore Dual Laser works very well on the arms and hands and also on the legs. The Fraxel Dual with the combination of the 1550nm Erbium Glass laser and the 1927nm Thulium laser works extremely well for improving the skin texture as well as lentigenes (age spots and freckles) on the arms, hands, face, neck, legs, back and chest. It is my favorite laser for that purpose. This is a great choice for a person whose wrinkles are not too severe. This also helps get rid of precancerous lesions in those areas.
