Clearer skin is closer than you think. At Manhattan Laser Spa, people come to us all the time with the same concern: “These spots won’t go away no matter what I try.”
If you’ve tried brightening creams, scrubs, or expensive over-the-counter serums and still see patches of uneven tone, you’re not alone. Dark spots can be stubborn. Some sit on the surface. Some hide deeper in the skin. And some come back again and again because sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation keep triggering new pigment.
Here’s the good news. There are real, proven ways to fade dark spots safely. And you don’t have to guess your way through it.
Let’s break this down in simple terms. Dark spots happen when certain cells in your skin make too much pigment. That can happen for a bunch of reasons:
Some spots sit close to the surface. Others form deeper. That’s why one cream might help one person but do nothing for another.
And this is where a medical spa approach makes a huge difference. Creams work on the surface. Our treatments reach the deeper layers where pigment actually lives.
Our Dark Spot Treatment ApproachWe don’t guess. We evaluate. Then we build a plan that fits YOUR skin.
At Manhattan Laser Spa, your Dark Spot Treatment may include one or more of the following services depending on what your skin needs:
Pigment Assessment
We start with a simple question:
Where is the pigment coming from?
That means:
This step keeps you safe. It also helps us pick the right tools, so you don’t waste time or money.
Laser Skin Resurfacing & Pigment-Targeting Lasers
Laser treatments can go deeper than any cream. They break apart concentrated pigment so your body can naturally clear it away.
We use medical-grade laser devices that allow:
For many people, this is one of the fastest ways to fade stubborn sun spots and age spots.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
If you’ve got a mix of freckles, sun spots, or uneven tone across a larger area, IPL can help.
It sends controlled pulses of light into the skin to:
Most people love IPL because it’s quick, gentle, and gets you back to your day with little to no downtime.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help lift the top layers of dead skin where surface-level pigment hides.
We use medical-grade solutions that can include:
Peels are especially helpful for:
You’ll usually see smoother, more even skin after just a few sessions.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin that trigger collagen production and cell turnover.
This helps when you have:
Over a few sessions, skin becomes clearer, firmer, and more even.
Medical-Grade Skincare
Your results last longer when your daily skincare supports them.
We may recommend products like:
These help prevent new spots from forming and support your skin’s healing after treatments.

Step 3: Treatment
Most treatments take 20–30 minutes.
People often tell us the sensation feels like a quick snap or warm tingling. If you’re nervous, we use cooling devices or numbing cream.
Step 4: Aftercare
Dark spots often darken for a few days. Then they flake or fade.
Most people return to work the same day.
You’ll get simple aftercare instructions like:
Step 5: Follow-Up
Most clients need 2–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
The deeper the pigment, the more sessions you may need.

Some come in once or twice a year for maintenance.
We’re not a chain and not a high-pressure business. Our focus is on quality care and real results.
People choose us because:
Whether you’re running errands around the Bay Harbor Islands Shopping District, heading toward Bal Harbour Shops, or spending time near the Indian Creek Waterway or Surfside Beach, your skin deserves to feel clear and confident.
What Most Competitors Skip — And Why It MattersAfter researching local competitors, here’s what we notice many don’t explain clearly:
They don’t distinguish between pigment types
Sun spots, age spots, melasma, and acne marks all behave differently. Treating them the same way often leads to slow or poor results.
They don’t talk about long-term maintenance
Dark spots can return without education and proper aftercare. We teach you what to do and what not to do.
They overlook deeper causes
Some spots come from hormones or chronic inflammation. We factor in your lifestyle, sun exposure habits, and skincare routine.
They over-promise
We’re honest. Some pigment clears fast. Some requires patience. You’ll always get realistic timelines with us.
You might be a great candidate if:
You may need a consultation first if:
We’ll guide you through it.
Yes. We adjust the treatment settings, wavelengths, and devices based on your skin tone. Safe treatment for deeper skin tones requires expertise, and that’s why the pigment assessment is so important.
Many people see improvement within 2–3 sessions. Deeper pigment, melasma, or long-term sun damage might need 4–6 sessions or more.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pulse. If needed, we offer cooling and numbing to keep you comfortable.
Usually very little. You may see light redness or temporary darkening. Most people return to normal activities right away.
They can, especially without sun protection. Sunscreen is a must. Some clients choose a maintenance session once or twice a year.
Creams can help mild pigment, but they rarely reach deeper layers. Our treatments target pigment at the source, where topical products can’t reach.
We may wait until active breakouts calm down, depending on the treatment type. We’ll guide you during your consultation.
If you’re in Bay Harbor Islands, FL or nearby areas like Surfside, Bal Harbour, or along Broad Causeway, you’re just a short distance from clearer, brighter skin.
You don’t have to live with stubborn dark spots.
And you don’t have to guess which treatment is right for you.
