Do you have brown spots on your hands, face, or chest that are unsightly? Are you tired of applying creams to help fade them? If so, laser treatment may be an option.
At Florida Skin Center, we offer the VBeam laser, which can be used to treat brown spots. The laser targets the melanin in the brown spot without damaging surrounding skin, making this one of the safest and most effective ways to eradicate brown spots. There is minimal to no downtime with this laser. The brown spots will likely become darker and may possibly bruise and/or peel after the treatment. We recommend 1-2 treatments spaced 1 month apart in most cases.
