What counts as a "dark spot"
People use "dark spots" for many marks. Clinically, the commonest are solar lentigines ( sun spots ), freckles , flat seborrhoeic keratoses and lingering marks after acne ( PIH ). Broad, blurry patches are more likely melasma and need a gentler plan.
Check first: when a spot needs medical examination
Before any cosmetic treatment, a physician examines each spot. Marks that are new in adulthood, growing, changing colour, with uneven borders, raised, itchy or bleeding are assessed medically first and are not lasered until cleared. Some may need further tests or a different treatment, such as removal options discussed on our mole removal page.
How spot treatment works
A higher-energy, small-beam laser pulse is aimed at each spot. Treated spots typically turn darker or greyish immediately, then form thin crusts that flake off over about a week, revealing lighter skin beneath. Larger or deeper spots may need a further session. The pico laser page explains the technology.
Spot treatment vs. toning
Spot treatment is precise and fast for a few defined marks but has short crusting downtime. Toning treats the whole face gently with no crusts and suits diffuse pigment. Many people combine them: spot treatment first, toning later for overall tone.
Aftercare
Leave crusts to fall off on their own, keep the area moisturised, avoid scrubbing, and apply SPF daily — treated skin is prone to temporary darkening (PIH) if exposed to sun. Browse the pigmentation hub for related options.
Dark Spots Treatment FAQ
Do dark spots get darker after laser before they fade?
Yes, that is typical. After spot-targeted laser, treated spots usually darken or turn greyish and form fine crusts that shed in about 5–10 days. The lighter skin underneath can stay pink for a while and should be protected from the sun.
Can all dark spots be treated with laser?
Only spots assessed by a physician as benign pigment. A spot that is new, changing, irregular, raised, itchy or bleeding is examined medically first and may need further evaluation or a different treatment rather than cosmetic laser.
How much does dark spot removal cost at Daybeau Seomyeon?
Spot-targeted laser treatment is priced after consultation, since cost depends on the number, size and type of spots. For overall tone, the listed first-visit Pico Light Black Toning session is ₩29,000, excluding VAT.
Will dark spots come back after removal?
A treated spot may stay lighter for a long time, but new spots can form with continued sun exposure, and some can recur. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, hats and shade help reduce new spots and protect results.
