I have more small brown spots on the back of my hand. Is it possible to get a laser consultation for the hands, not just the face?
2026.11.05 11:24
Lately, while applying hand cream, I took a closer look at the back of my hands and noticed that there seem to be more small, brownish blemishes than before. My hands were directly exposed to the sun during the summer, and I didn't pay much attention to them then. Now that late autumn has arrived and my skin has become dry, the blemishes appear even more prominent. I am meticulous about applying sunscreen to my face, but I rarely took care of my hands, and I wonder if this is the cause. Also, since the skin on the back of my hands feels thinner than my face, I am concerned about whether it is safe to get laser treatment. Because they are small and light in color, I am unsure whether they can be improved with home care or if I need to get a consultation.
1. Can I receive laser consultation for blemishes on the back of my hands in the same way as for facial blemishes?
2. Are there any special precautions to take during post-procedure care for areas with thin skin, such as the back of the hand?
3. How are sun-induced blemishes and age spots distinguished during a consultation?
4. Besides sunscreen, is there any other care I should do on the back of my hands before the consultation?
I have attached the photo below for reference regarding a similar condition of the back of the hand.

- 02CommentsIt must be really bothersome to see dark spots on your cheekbones deepen in the fall as pigmentation from summer UV rays surfaces. While Vitamin C serum helps with whitening, its acidity can make your skin sensitive for about 2-3 days right before or after laser treatment, so I recommend taking a break and focusing on applying gentle moisturizing and soothing creams. Pico Toning is usually done consistently every 1-2 weeks to improve tone, but if you tell them your current home care routine during your consultation, they will safely adjust it to suit your skin thickness. :)220026.11.05

If I get laser treatment for blemishes while going to school, how long do the scabs or redness last?[4]
CommentsFirst off, I would like to say that it is truly impressive that you are managing to schedule your procedure while going to work. I fully understand your concerns, as I have heard that pigmentation often flares up after pregnancy. Since scabbing occurs depending on the type of laser and recovery periods vary, I suggest asking during your consultation if scheduling the procedure on Friday for the skin to subside over the weekend works for you, and when you can start wearing makeup. Because the reaction to melasma can vary, scheduling the treatments in separate sessions rather than doing everything at once might be a good approach. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope for great results!200026.11.05
- 01CommentsI think it would be less of a burden if I could start with a small scope. That is a good question.580026.11.04
- 02CommentsI understand your desire to make a decision after understanding the frequency and costs. Could I also receive written guidance on the settlement criteria if I change the plan midway?770026.10.30
- 03CommentsEven for a small brown area next to the nose, it is difficult to distinguish between a mole, freckle, or other pigmentation based solely on a photo, so please get a medical examination first. Providing information on when the spots increased, previous photos, and the products you used will be helpful for the consultation. For areas prone to redness, it would be beneficial to check not only the type of pigmentation but also the current state of irritation, and to receive guidance on criteria for postponing laser treatments and moisturizing methods.850026.11.02
