If the dark spots are freckles or sun damage related, then we believe the best option is Q-switched ND:Yg lasers. These lasers are powerful enough to remove tattoos and birthmarks and for this reason should not
have a problem removing your spots.

The ideal treatment would be IPL which will remove most dark spots with little discomfort and downtime.

There are a few options for pigmentation. The best way to determine proper treatment is through a thorough consultation and skin analysis. Some of the possibilities include "IPL" laser skin rejuvenation and a series of peels with prescribed home care.
