Pigmented dry spots on my legs, and inside of knees. What is the most effective treatment for this? (photos)

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.

There are many options to help you. Cryotherapy. Your healthcare provider will numb the skin and then use liquid nitrogen to freeze the growth, Electrodessication/Curettage, Shave Excision or Laser Therapy. PLEASE START USING SUNSCREEN ASAP, AND HYDRATE YOU SKIN. A good IPL like Lumecca will be a great option.
