We’re continuing our black spot (age spot) removal cases this month, too.
Before: 2023.02.14 – After: 2023.03.15
All photos are shared with patient consent. They are unedited images of the same person, taken in the same location and lighting for a fair comparison.
Please note: Results can vary from person to person. A detailed consultation is important to review possible side effects such as temporary pigmentation changes, bruising, swelling, or scabbing.
Black spots are one of the most common (and frustrating) signs of skin aging. Because they often show up on high-visibility areas—especially the cheekbones—they can be hard to cover completely with makeup.
Even a single spot can really stand out. Many patients tell us that once they try laser removal, they feel noticeably more confident with their bare skin.
Black spot removal laser: before & after
Before: 2023.09.09 – After: 2023.10.07
All photos are shared with patient consent. They are unedited images of the same person, taken in the same location and lighting.
Please note: Results can vary, and we always recommend a thorough consultation beforehand to discuss potential side effects (pigmentation changes, bruising, swelling, etc.).
At our clinic, we review results using both standard photography and MarkView imaging—a specialized camera system often used for long-term pigment concerns like melasma and other stubborn discoloration.
Black spot removal laser: before & after
Before: 2023.11.13 – After: 2024.01.03
All photos are shared with patient consent. They are unedited images of the same person, taken in the same location and lighting.
When we compare before-and-after photos, results usually come down to three key factors:
- Accurate diagnosis
- Precise treatment
- Consistent aftercare
Some patients do such a great job with aftercare that the tiny crusts naturally shed cleanly even before their follow-up visit—which helps the treated area heal smoothly.
Which laser do we use for black spot removal?
We often get asked what device we use. For black spot removal, I use the Fotona StarWalker.
The name might not be widely known outside clinics, but it’s one of the most commonly used pigment lasers in dermatology—frequently used for concerns like melasma, sun spots, persistent pigmentation, and certain types of nevi.
Recently, some patients have also asked about the Lipot laser. Both the Lipot laser and the Fotona laser I use operate at 532 nm, so the overall principle and treatment approach for black spot removal are similar.
The main difference is how the target is selected: the Lipot laser typically treats areas identified by the device’s system, while the Fotona laser allows me to precisely treat the specific spots I identify during diagnosis.
Because I’ve used this laser for a long time and can clearly identify the treatment area, you don’t need to worry about the results being affected by inaccurate targeting or insufficient technique.
If this is your first time considering black spot laser treatment and you’re feeling nervous, you’re not alone. We share before-and-after photos only after receiving written consent, so you can feel more confident seeing real, unedited results from actual cases.
Thank you for reading.
