Summary
This study tested a special laser to treat dark spots (hyperpigmentation) on the face in 15 adults with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types V and VI). The goal was to see if the laser could safely reduce spots without causing more darkening or scars. Researchers used 3D imaging to measure changes in spots, UV spots, and brown spots on different parts of the face.
