Laser treatments to remove skin spots

Laser treatments have proven in recent years to be a very effective option for removing some of the most common skin spots. If you suffer from some of these spots, you've probably spent countless hours studying and trying homemade treatments to remove skin spots and thousands of alternatives that leave you at the same point.

For this reason, from our Miami Medical Spa, Edyn Med Spa, we have decided to prepare this article to help you understand why laser treatments to remove skin spots are the most effective solution in most cases.

Melasma spots: Melasma spots usually appear on the forehead, cheek, upper lip, and nose. The main cause of these spots is sun exposure, hormonal changes, and also some genetic causes. It has been shown that melasma spots can be removed with laser treatments in combination with depigmenting products.

Solar lentigines or age spots: The famous age spots are those that frequently appear on the hands, arms, décolletage, and face. Solar lentigines can be more severe depending on the accumulated sun exposure over the years. The main cause of this type of spots is closely related to photoaging, which is why laser treatments, capable of specifically targeting the affected areas, have proven to be a very viable option to remove skin aging spots.

Post-inflammatory spots: Hyperpigmentation in areas affected by acne scars, burns, or the use of irritating products, is the main cause of these spots, which are common at any age. Various studies confirm the effectiveness of laser treatments to eliminate this type of spots, which typically appear on the face, back, legs, and less frequently on the arms.

Natural spots and freckles: The famous freckles are usually caused by genetic conditions, and in other cases, equally frequent, by overexposure to the sun. Although many people try home remedies to eliminate freckles, the truth is that the results from these natural medicine solutions have not shown very encouraging results. Although we would love to state that laser treatments eliminate freckles and natural spots due to genetic condition, the truth is that it is not the case. While some aesthetic improvement results are achieved for this type of spots, the possibility of reappearance of these spots makes laser treatments lose their effectiveness as an alternative.

Friction or rubbing spots: Friction spots are very common in areas like the armpits, neck, and inner thighs. It involves uneven darkening in areas exposed to continuous rubbing, so the best way to avoid this type of spot is by protecting the area with ergonomic and hypoallergenic materials. Although it is true that friction spots, as their name suggests, are usually caused by friction, it is also true that there are other common causes in such cases, such as: wearing very tight clothing, overweight, and diabetes. To treat this type of spot, it is crucial to identify the real cause and improve that condition. Although many laser treatments have been conducted to eliminate friction spots, the results are quite discreet. For this reason, although at Edyn Med Spa we are experts in laser treatments in Miami, we prefer to be honest with reality and recommend, in these cases, treatments with depigmenting products.

Chemical reactions spots | Medications: Reactions to medications and other chemicals could generate some visible spots and permanent ones on the skin. Once again, determining the cause of the spots is key to prevent their spread throughout the body. In the case of these types of spots, there are very positive results with laser treatments.
