ARE THERE ANY PATIENTS WHO CANNOT BE TREATED FOR BROWN SPOT REMOVAL?
Laser treatments are most effective in patients that are not tanned. Therefore, tanned individuals should wait until their tan has faded before seeking treatment. Patients with a history of kelloidal scar formation or poor healing should consult our physicians before initiating treatment. Patients with known photosensitivity to light and pregnant females should also avoid treatment. An area with an active infection such as cold sores should not be treated until the infection has healed. For best treatment results and to minimize bruising, it is important to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (and other so-called NSAID’s) and tanning both immediately before and following laser treatments.
