@ellaphant 

Yes, that can happen especially if the laser used wasn't the right kind or if the one they used was set incorrectly for spot removal. It takes a certain type of laser (not IPL) to remove brown spots. Lasers are not all the same. I had two brown spots removed by a derm who used a YAG laser. Spots are gone forever.

 

Fraxel lasers work but mostly for surface discolorations. Spots often return b/c the deep root of the problem is still there. IPL, which is not a laser, will help lighten some surface discoloration but it's super temporary.

Yup --  I sure do!  It's a pain finding stuff that works and doesn't wreck my skin even further!  I'll look into that -- thank you!
