Laser therapy also provides successful results in skin blemishes. Spots that occur on the skin for different reasons do not cause any medical problems. However, treatment is preferred because it disrupts the skin structure aesthetically. The substance that gives our skin its color is melanin. When skin blemishes increase, blemish formation is observed. Spots may occur due to birth, puberty, aging or the effects of the sun. Laser spot treatment can be applied according to the formation of skin spots and the area where they occur. Among the laser devices preferred in spot treatment:

* Erbium laser

* Carbon dioxide laser

* Q switched Nd Yag laser

available. Skin spot treatment is planned with a different laser for each skin spot.

Laser Devices for Skin Spot Treatment

Laser treatment is determined according to the formation of skin spots. Carbon dioxide laser causes deep peeling. Therefore, the recovery period is long. However, this method provides renewal in collagen production. In this way, skin rejuvenation occurs. The most successful spot treatment laser device is the W-switched Nd Yag laser. This device intensively absorbs melanin-containing cells. Normal skin tone is also not affected by the laser treatment of skin spots. Those who want to use fractional laser should definitely not have a bronze skin tone. As the dark parts can absorb the laser beams, side effects such as blistering may occur. Since the Q-switched laser device does not have such results, this device may be preferred for dark skin tones.

After Skin Spot Laser Treatment

When laser treatment is applied to skin spots, the process may be prolonged or shortened depending on the skin structure and the duration of the spot formation. If treatment is required for freckles, age spots and sunspots, Q switched at a wavelength of 532 nm can be used. After the laser spot treatment with this device, no redness occurs. If the fractional laser is used, there may be a feeling of warmth similar to the feeling of sunburn after the treatment. Within a week, the redness and crusting are completely gone. Although it varies according to the device used, the number of laser spot treatment sessions varies between 5 and 8 sessions. There are many factors that affect the results of the applications. In general, 80 percent of stains can be removed.
