A 29-year-old female came to our Beverly Hills office wanting to remove brown spots and brighten skin tone on her face. After a cosmetic consultation, we recommended a combination of fractionated erbium laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments. When combined on the same day, IPL lights up pigment, making it easier for the erbium laser to remove it successfully. The erbium laser further refines the skin, smoothing texture and reducing fine lines. After 3 treatments, her facial skin texture has improved and brown spots have diminished. She continues to do combination treatments every 3-4 months for maintenance.
