Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Therapy for Dark Spots?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of dark spots and discoloration on your face you may benefit from laser treatments.
Treatments can be customized for your individual needs based on the size and location of your spots.
Moreover, the recent advancements in laser technology make laser treatments a safe and effective treatment for all skin colors.
Are Laser Treatments Painful?
Generally, most patients find laser treatments to be relatively pain-free.
In fact, many patients describe laser therapy as feeling like a small snapping of a rubber band against the skin.
