The lasers used for treating dark spots work by selectively targeting the pigment called melanin within the dark spot, removing it to achieve the desired effect.

All procedures have varying effects, so please consult thoroughly about potential side effects (pigmentation, bruising, swelling, etc.) before treatment.
However, because this pigmentation is also present in eyebrows or hair, treating dark spots in these areas is delicate and requires caution. There is a possibility that eyebrow hairs may not grow back. Therefore, when dark spots are within the eyebrows, it cannot be guaranteed that the procedure is impossible.
Some patients have come after being turned away—or partially refused—at other clinics.
Fortunately, we have a case of pigmentation within the eyebrows, so we will show the follow-up results.
Since the dark spot extended into the eyebrows, we explained the precautions and performed the procedure carefully.
The patient came for a follow-up two weeks later, and by following the self-care instructions, the removal turned out even more effectively.
After the removal, we also provided guidance on post-treatment care and completed the procedure.
For those like the patient, who are undergoing dark spot laser treatment for the first time and may feel anxious, we obtained consent for photo sharing and posted the before-and-after photos.
Thank you.
