How long does it take for brown spots to fall off after laser?

Laser treatments are effective at removing brown spots due to sun damage. As the laser passes through the skin, brown pigment absorbs the light preferentially. This creates a dark brown scab that falls off over the following 1-week (for faces) and 2-3 weeks (for hands or body), taking the brown spot with it.

The area is initially white but then turns pink and scabby within 10-15 minutes. Ointment and bandages will be applied before you leave. You will be given a “goody” bag with ointments and bandages to cover your sites while raw (3-4 days). When the scabs become dry, makeup may be applied. The scabs usually fall off in 1 week on the face, and after 2-3 weeks on the hands and extremities. It is important to keep the areas out of the sun while healing to prevent “post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation” which can be triggered by small amounts of sun exposure on a healing wound.
