Two and a half months and I am finally seeing positive results. The large spots have faded and are more even toned.

I have done the Alexndrite which I believe is a Q switched. Worked great on my face and hands. Not as much on arms and legs but I was told at the time that I would probably need to do it again. Took longer for arms to heal than face. Legs even longer.

Hi!! I'm so thrilled for you that your treatment is working. I'm in the same boat you were in. How are you today and have you had any more treatments? I don't wear shorts and much less a swimsuit, I'm more depressed than words can explain. I'm praying there is hope for me. God bless!!

Hi- I have many more spots on my legs and have done fraxel (waste of $$) and IPL (they just come back and never really disappear). Then I tried SCITON laser which is non-invasive and has lifted some of the spots however I would probably need to spend $5k or at least 6 treatments to really see anything. Ive been looking at Picosure by Cynosure- its stated as an amazing new technology especially for tattoos which is what I feel like I have all over my legs. This winter Im going to try Picosure laser.

Picosure is a more advanced Q switched laser

I finally got a call from the dermatologist office. The PA told me at this point that what I should be doing now is waiting. I should begin to see improvement but it may take months. I will stay out of the sun this summer invest in some good leg makeup, which I'm already familiar with and hopefully my sunless tan lotion will look better than with the darker brown spots.. I was just hoping for a quick fix and with this is not realistic. I haven't lost hope because I am seeing some lightening. I may eventually have to have more done but at this point I don't know if I would use Q switch again.

have you researched Picosure by Cynosure? Ive done BBL on my spots on my legs but only minor changes. Im told that Picosure laser which is used Tatoos is awesome and fairly new technology. Have to wait until summer is over.
