I am 34 years old and started developing sunspots around 30 years old. This year I decided to have them lasered. I chose a qswitched nd yag laser for treatment. I had around 500 pulses done on my legs in one setting. Eeek! It stung but was tolerable. My legs were in fire when I left the office. I am healing and waiting!

Please add more after pics when you can. I want to get this done to my legs too. Was the pain afterwards bad?

No the pain was very bearable. They stung for a few hours. But I went to the gym the next day and everything as usual.

I want this on my arms and legs. I have tried so many different things but nothing has worked and have recently been looking into this laser. I hope it works for you and will be watching for updates!

No pain. Looks worse than it feels. Skin feels smooth. Not scabby. Ive been applying neosporin every time I go to bathroom. The doctor said it may take a month for it to look better. I hope not that long

Crusts coming off

DittydoolittleNovember 28, 2016

This weekend around the 10 day mark the crust started peeling. The are very thin scabs. I was in the bathtub literally scrubbing them off. I see pink skin underneath so im hopeful! The lower legs havent began this as much. This is my thigh. You can see its dry and peeling.

Oh sweety! Please don't scrub, let them heal on there own. I speak from experience, you do not want white scars replacing those sun spots

Thanks for the advice! Im not scrubbing hard. Just like i normally would with a wash rag when im bathing. No i def dont want scars!

They are looking good!

Thank you. I was surprised at how quickly they are healing. Every thing I read said legs take the longest to heal. I am pretty young so that is an advantage. Ive also been taking lots of vitamin c, grape seed complex, hair skin and nail vitamin, drinking tons of water and limiting my alcohol intake. Dont know if that has made any difference or not.
