Who Should Consider PicoSure Laser Treatment?
Ideal candidates for laser brown spot removal are individuals looking to address concerns related to hyperpigmentation, such as brown spots, freckles, age spots, and sun damage. Suitable candidates often exhibit skin that has been affected by environmental factors, aging, or genetic predisposition to pigmentation anomalies.
Candidates should possess realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes and understand that multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve desired results. Those with light to medium skin tones often experience the most significant improvements, although advancements in laser technology have made treatments safer and more effective for darker skin tones as well. A consultation with our medical specialists will determine your suitability for the procedure, ensuring it aligns with your skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect When Getting PicoSure Laser Treatment?
Undergoing laser brown spot removal is a seamless and comfortable experience. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area’s size and the number of spots being addressed. Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort.
As the laser is passed over the skin, patients may feel a slight snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band lightly tapping against the skin. This sensation is generally well-tolerated, and the procedure does not require anesthesia. Our state-of-the-art lasers are equipped with cooling mechanisms to protect the skin and minimize discomfort during treatment.
Post-treatment, patients can immediately resume their daily activities, making it a convenient “lunchtime procedure.” Mild redness and swelling may occur but typically subside within a few days. As the treated skin heals, brown spots may darken and flake off, revealing clearer, rejuvenated skin beneath.
Preparing for your procedure
Preparation for laser brown spot removal begins with a consultation, where your skin will be assessed, and a tailored treatment plan will be devised. To ensure the best possible outcomes, patients are advised to follow these preparatory steps:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily for at least two weeks before the treatment to prevent tanning, which can affect the laser’s efficacy.
- Skin Care Regimen: Follow a recommended skin care routine to ensure your skin is in optimal condition for the procedure. This may include avoiding certain products that could sensitize the skin.
- Medications and Supplements: Inform your Grossman Plastic Surgery specialist about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted before the procedure.
- No Waxing or Bleaching: Avoid waxing, bleaching, or using depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.
Laser Brown Spot Removal Surgery Recovery
Recovery from laser brown spot removal is typically swift and uncomplicated, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately post-treatment. Initial redness and swelling are common but diminish quickly.Â
Post-procedure care is pivotal for optimal healing and results. Patients are advised to:
- Moisturize and Protect: Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and continue to apply sunscreen daily to protect the new, sensitive skin from UV damage.
- Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using harsh chemical peels, exfoliants, or retinoids on the treated area until fully healed.
- Follow Post-Care Instructions: Adhere to any personalized aftercare instructions provided by our team to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results.

Pain Management, What To Expect?
PicoSure laser brown spot removal is well-tolerated by most patients, with many describing the sensation as a minor snap against the skin. At Grossman Plastic Surgery, patient comfort is paramount. We employ advanced laser systems with integrated cooling technologies to minimize discomfort during the procedure. For those particularly sensitive to discomfort, a topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Post-treatment discomfort is minimal, with most patients experiencing no more than a mild, sunburn-like sensation that quickly subsides. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be taken if necessary, but most patients find them unnecessary.

Ideal Results
Patients can anticipate a significant reduction in the appearance of brown spots and a more even, radiant complexion following their Laser Brown Spot Removal treatment. Results may vary, with some patients seeing improvement after just one session, while others may require multiple treatments for optimal outcomes.
The laser not only diminishes hyperpigmentation but also enhances overall skin texture and firmness by stimulating collagen production. Results are long-lasting, especially with diligent sun protection and a proper skincare regimen. Periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve the clarity and beauty of your results.
