Freckles are cute on children, but adults often consider dark spots to be a sign of sun damage. Brown spots can appear after spending too much time in the sun and can make you look older than you are. Icon laser treatments can correct many types of hyperpigmentation, including sun spots, pigmented lesions, and birthmarks without causing painful side effects.

The Icon laser delivers optimized light pulses to help treat brown spots. The gentle light pulses stimulate the immune system to naturally improve skin imperfections without harming the surrounding skin. Icon IPL treatments are safe for most skin types and can be used to remove sun spots on the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.

Sun spot removal treatments only last about 30 minutes. Depending on the patient’s skin type, 3-4 sessions may be recommended to achieve the best results. A sunburn-like sensation and some minor swelling are the most common side effects, but they do not last long. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately following in-office treatments.
