Spot Treatment


A spotless, glowing skin tone is essential for a youthful and healthy appearance, and we all want it. But the difference in tone and spots on our skin overshadow our beauty. Why do we get brown spots on our skin? The cause of brown spots on our hands on our face is melanin. Melanin is the substance that gives our skin its color. If melanin accumulates excessively in some areas due to reasons such as sun, genetic predisposition, pregnancy, it causes skin spots.

Which is the most effective method of stain treatment?

The best method in spot treatment is combined treatments. In other words, using different treatments together gives better results. Because for the best spot treatment, it is necessary to reduce the melanin in the skin without damaging the skin, which is a difficult process. The most appropriate treatments that can be done with the current technology for effective stain treatment; Thulium Laser, Q switch Nd yag Laser, Gold Needle Treatment, Stain Lightening Mesotherapy, drug treatments and of course indispensable sunscreens.

Slogans such as the definitive solution to brown spots on the face or the best spot removal cream are not true. The most appropriate treatment for you should be determined according to the cause of the formation of the stain, its depth and how many years it has been.

Absolute thulium laser should be used in order to get the best results in spot treatment. Because Thulium laser acts directly on the stain. In order for the spots not to recur with the Thulium laser, it is necessary to increase the resistance of the skin to the sun. For this, Q-switch laser and gold needle sessions should be added to the treatment. As the years pass over the spots, the spots deepen and their treatment becomes more difficult. Spot mesotherapy should be added to laser treatments for deep spots. Gold needle treatment gives better results in the treatment of acne spots. As you can see, there is no single treatment, there is the most suitable treatment for you. Stain is a serious health problem and its treatment must be determined by a dermatologist for you. Adding drugs according to the condition of the spots supports the treatment.

What are the prices of laser spot treatment?

Laser spot treatment prices are determined by the number of sessions. Spot treatment in one session is only valid for superficial stains such as age spots on the hand. One session of Q-switch laser is sufficient for age spots on the hand. Therefore, the treatment prices of these spots are low. In addition, for deeper difficult spots such as melasma, at least 4 sessions of thulium laser should be performed.

How long does spot treatment take?

Spot treatment is a session-based procedure. Therefore, a minimum of 3 months of treatment is needed. This treatment process should come in autumn and winter months when the sun's effect is less.

What Can We Do to Prevent Stains?

It is very important to pay attention to our daily routine and lifestyle habits to prevent stain formation. The first and most important step is to protect the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Since sun rays are one of the main causes of stain formation, using sunscreen is the most effective way to prevent stains. It is necessary to use a sunscreen with an SPF 50 protection factor on cloudy days as well as in sunny weather. It is also important to renew it frequently during the day. Sunscreen alone may not be sufficient in areas that are prone to staining or already have stains, in which case a physical barrier can be used, such as wearing a mask for the face area and preferring half-sleeved t-shirts for the shoulder area. In addition, during the summer months when the sun is at its most intense, it is important to spend time indoors or in the shade as much as possible and not be exposed to direct sunlight. It should be remembered that sun rays have an effect even in the shade and sunscreen should be continued to be used. The sun is the main source of stains, protection from the sun is very important.

Another cause of staining is irritation. Regular cleaning and moisturizing of the skin can also help prevent blemishes. Activities such as scratching, squeezing pimples, and using chemical peels too often make the skin prone to blemishes.

It is important to protect the skin from excessive oiliness or irritation caused by dryness by using products suitable for your skin type. Choosing sunscreens according to your skin type can eliminate these problems, and you can get a recommendation for a protective product suitable for your skin type by consulting your doctor. Using products that are not suitable for the skin can cause acne-related blemishes in extremely oily skin, and can increase sensitivity to the sun in dry skin. In addition, it is necessary to consider the possibility that the makeup materials used may not be compatible with your skin, extra acne-causing products may cause an allergic reaction, and you should observe the skin and stop using that product for a week to see if the allergy, i.e. acne problem or dryness, has passed. Hygiene elements such as cleaning makeup brushes and removing makeup from the skin before going to bed are also elements that should be considered for blemish-free skin.

A healthy lifestyle also has a great effect on skin health. Drinking plenty of water, eating a healthy and balanced diet, and staying away from alcohol and cigarettes support the renewal of skin cells and help keep the skin bright and spotless. It should also be noted that stress can also trigger skin problems, and attention should be paid to adequate sleep and stress management. These steps are effective in preventing spot formation and are necessary for a healthy lifestyle.



Care should be taken to avoid tanning 2-3 weeks before and not to use peeling creams on the area to be treated. There should be no infection, herpes or wounds in the area to be treated. You should also protect yourself from the sun after spot treatment.

The reason for the formation of spots is the sun, the sun creates spots in genetically predisposed people. Some drugs such as hormones, pregnancy and birth control pills are particularly prone to stains. Sensitivity to the sun occurs in people who are genetically burned or due to the reasons listed above, and even a little exposure to the sun causes staining.

Hyperpigmentation is brown spots due to the accumulation of melanin in the skin. Melanin, which gives color to our skin, is produced by melanocytes. If the melanocytes work hard locally and produce too much melanin, the melanin that accumulates in the skin creates brown spots. Factors that irritate the skin, such as too much sun exposure and acne, cause hyperpigmentation.

Temporary point-like crusts may be seen in the operation area. There may be sensitivity to the sun. The procedure has no permanent side effects.
The area should not be washed for the first 2 hours after the treatment. Spf50+ sunscreen cream should be used regularly every 2-3 hours. The treated area should not be itchy or plucked. Avoid going out in the sun as much as possible.
Depending on the hormonal status of the person, skin structure, medications, and exposure to the sun, the spots may recur.

It is the sun that creates the stain, so if you do not want to have a stain on your face, you must be protected from the sun very well. Even if you are indoors in summer and winter, you should always use sunscreen cream.

These are brown sharply circumscribed spots that settle on the forehead, cheeks, upper nose and mustache due to reasons such as melasma, pregnancy hormone disorder, and birth control drugs. It is a very common complaint in sunny countries like Turkey.

The duration of treatment may vary with the depth and age of the stain, its size, and the additional characteristics of the person. There will be at least ten percent improvement in each session. It is aimed to see the desired effect in 3-5 sessions on average.
