Dark Spot Removal By Laser
We offer CO2 laser treatment to remove your dark spots. Our experienced aesthetic physician, Dr. Charles Ivester, uses a high-energy focused laser beam that breaks down and removes the pigmented skin. The body’s natural healing system then replaces this old skin with new cells. This laser treatment also stimulates collagen production, so the skin gets tight and smooth over time.
CO2 lasers usually have a downtime of 7 to 14 days. Some individuals notice visible improvement after a single session, while others may need a series of treatments based on how deep and stubborn the dark spots are. You will observe definite but gradual results after one session. Our physician doesn’t recommend a CO2 laser for melasma because it can make the pigment cells hyperactive. So, the dark patches get worse instead of getting better.
How to Remove Dark Spots On Face?
We recommend facials and Light Therapy for mild pigmentation of the face because they are gentle and non-invasive. Whereas the CO2 laser is best to remove deep pigmentation as it resurfaces the skin and produces collagen.
The dark spots on the nose and under the eyes are common. But the skin under the eyes is delicate, so we avoid harsh lasers. Our board-certified doctor often recommends RF microneedling with PRP, Platelet Rich Fibrin, and exosome therapy (only as an emerging regenerative treatment) to support healing. Combination of treatments can also improve both dark spots and overall skin texture for better results. These treatments support collagen production and skin repair, which helps improve pigmentation and even out your skin tone over time.
How to Remove Dark Spots for Darker Skin Tone?
We recommend RF microneedling along with PRP or PRF as safer options to improve dark spots in darker skin tones. Red light therapy can also be included as an additional treatment.
When carried out by a skilled provider, like M.D. Charles Ivester, these treatments are considered safe for patients with darker skin tones. The CO2 laser is strong and can cause hyperpigmentation in people with dark skin. This is why treatment settings must be carefully customized based on the skin type.
Dark Spot Removal on Legs And Other Lower Body Areas
Dark spots on the legs, inner thighs and private areas occur due to sun exposure, friction, acne and hormonal changes. We use IPL Photo facials and Microneedling treatments to fade the pigmentation on the legs.
Whereas the inner thighs and the private areas have sensitive skin. So, our doctor often suggests microneedling with PRP or Extracellular Vesicle Therapy to remove dark spots without damaging skin.
Pre and Post Treatment Care
These safety protocols are usually the same for almost every aesthetic treatment. Before your session, it is recommended to stay away from sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, and strong skincare products for several days.
Daily sunscreen use and limiting direct sun exposure are important to maintain your results after treatment. A gentle skincare routine is recommended during healing.
You may also need to avoid makeup, heavy workouts, excessive sweating, saunas, and swimming for a short period, depending on the treatment.
What Are the Possible Side Effects Of These Treatments?
The treatments like CO2 Laser, IPL, and RF Microneedling are safe when carried out by a qualified and experienced aesthetic professional. However, temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity are common. In rare cases, burns, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) may occur. Following proper aftercare reduces these risks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for These Treatments?
Most healthy adults with dark spots are suitable candidates. However, some treatments may not be recommended if you have active skin infections, open wounds, certain skin conditions, or are pregnant. A personalized consultation allows us to recommend the most suitable and safest treatment for your skin.
