New laser study targets Hard-to-Treat dark spots on darker skin

This small, completed study tested whether a specific type of laser (1927nm) could safely and effectively reduce dark spots (hyperpigmentation) on the face of people with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types V and VI). It also explored skincare routines to use before and after the laser to help prevent unwanted side effects like scarring or further discoloration. Fifteen participants received three laser treatments over two months and were followed for several months to check results.
