Question/Answer on Brown Spots and Laser

Question from patient who received treatment elsewhere: Is there any product out there that will remove the large dark spots on my face? I had two laser treatments that did nothing!

Long Island Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Marotta's Response:There are a number of very effective treatments available to remove "large dark spots". However, the first and most important thing to do is have a doctor who is qualified to treat the skin examine the spots and form a proper diagnosis. "Dark spots" can be many different things and you want to make sure the lesions are not pre-cancerous or even cancerous. The proper and most effective treatment also depends on the right diagnosis and can range from surgical excision, to chemical peels, laser, intense pulsed light or topical medicines.

If you did see a qualified doctor for your treatment with laser, return to them and ask them why it didn't work.
