Dark Spot Treatment in North Miami Beach, FL

Clear your skin, fade stubborn spots, and feel confident again

If you’ve been staring at the same dark spots in the mirror every morning, you’re not alone. Sun spots, age spots, melasma, and post-acne marks are some of the most common skin concerns in North Miami Beach. Living near places like Haulover Beach Park, Oleta River State Park, Aventura Mall, or Sunny Isles makes sun exposure a daily thing — and that sun really adds up over time.

At Manhattan Laser Spa, we help people fade dark spots safely and effectively using advanced lasers, IPL, chemical peels, and professional skincare. Our medical spa is led by certified, experienced practitioners who focus on results, safety, and honest guidance.

You’ll never feel rushed, pressured, or sold something you don’t need. We’ll sit down with you, look closely at your skin, and choose the right treatment for your exact type of pigmentation. This matters more than most people think, and it’s where many clinics get it wrong.

Why dark spots happen

Let’s keep it simple. Dark spots appear when your skin produces too much melanin. Sometimes it’s on the surface. Sometimes it sits much deeper. And different causes create different types of pigmentation.

Here are the most common reasons we see around North Miami Beach:

  • Sun exposure
    Years of UV exposure from beaches, outdoor sports, or even walking to Bal Harbour Shops can overactivate melanin.
  • Age-related pigmentation
    These are the classic sun spots and “liver spots” that appear as you get older.
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
    Those lingering dark marks from acne, bug bites, or irritation.
  • Melasma
    Often triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or heat. Melasma is stubborn and needs gentle, smart treatment.
  • Genetics
    Some people simply produce extra pigment more easily.

Here’s the issue:
Most over-the-counter products don’t treat the deeper layers where stubborn pigmentation really hides.

That’s why many people try serums, creams, or at-home exfoliators for years with little change. Dark spots often need medical-grade treatments to actually break up the pigment.

Here’s what makes our approach different from the average med spa:

  • We analyze your pigmentation type before we treat anything
  • We choose the right laser or treatment for your skin tone (this is huge)
  • We protect your skin barrier, not strip it
  • We build a step-by-step plan that prevents spots from coming back
  • We use FDA-approved devices with certified laser specialists
  • We follow strict Florida medical spa safety protocols

Your skin isn’t a “one size fits all.” And honestly, treating pigmentation the wrong way can make it worse. We treat it the right way from the start.

Dark Spot Treatments We Offer

We offer a full set of pigmentation-correcting treatments so you’re never forced into a method that isn’t right for your skin.

Each treatment can be used alone or combined depending on your needs.

Laser Dark Spot Treatment

This is one of the most effective, long-lasting ways to fade dark spots.

We use several types of lasers, including:

  • Picosecond laser
    Breaks pigment into tiny particles so the body clears it easily. Great for melasma and deeper pigmentation.
  • Q-Switched laser
    Targets melanin directly. Good for sun spots, freckles, and post-acne marks.
  • Nd:YAG laser
    Safer option for medium to darker skin tones because it works deeper without overheating the skin.
  • Fractional laser
    Helps with both pigmentation and texture. Ideal for sun-damaged skin or photoaging.

Laser settings are adjusted based on your tone, type of pigmentation, and sensitivity. This is where experience matters.

IPL Photofacial (Intense Pulsed Light)

IPL works well for lighter skin tones with sun-induced pigmentation. It targets brown spots and redness at the same time.

If you have sunspots from long days at Aventura Mall parking lots or walking around the Intracoastal Waterway, IPL may give fast results.

Chemical Peels for Dark Spots

We use gentle and medical-grade peels that brighten the surface and lift pigmented cells.

Common options we use include:

  • Lactic acid peels
  • Salicylic acid peels
  • Brightening enzyme peels
  • Pigment-correcting peels with kojic or azelaic acid

Some peels are mild with zero downtime. Others create a light peel over several days.

Microdermabrasion

A good option for very superficial pigmentation, dullness, or texture.

We often use it as a prep step before lasers or peels. It helps your skin respond better to the next treatment.

Skin Brightening Plans

For some people, the best results come from a combination of:

  • Laser
  • Peel
  • At-home pigment-safe skincare
  • Maintenance visits
  • Strong sun protection routines

We’ll build a plan you feel good about and walk you through everything step by step.

1. Consultation & Skin Analysis

We check:

  • Pigment depth
  • Skin tone
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Past treatments
  • Lifestyle and sun exposure
  • Your expectations

This helps us choose the right method and avoid irritating or worsening your skin.

2. Treatment

Some treatments take just a few minutes. Others take a little longer. Most people say the sensation is quick and manageable.

3. Aftercare

We guide you with:

  • What skincare to avoid
  • What helps healing
  • How to protect your skin from sun exposure
  • When to return for your next session

4. Results

Some see brightening after just 1 session. More stubborn pigmentation may take 3–6 treatments.

Melasma often needs slower, gentler care. We’ll be honest with you about what to expect.

Are you a good candidate?

You’re likely a great candidate if you have:

  • Sunspots
  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Post-acne dark marks
  • Melasma
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Photoaging from years of Florida sun

We treat people from:

  • North Miami Beach
  • Aventura
  • Sunny Isles Beach
  • Bal Harbour

If you’re pregnant, using certain medications, or have very sensitive skin, we’ll guide you safely and may choose gentler options.

Local Expertise That Actually Matters

People in North Miami Beach deal with unique skin stressors:

  • Strong sun almost year-round
  • UV reflection from water near Biscayne Bay
  • Heat and humidity that can worsen melasma
  • Outdoor lifestyle near beaches and parks

Because of that, pigmentation tends to be deeper and more stubborn here. Our treatment plans factor in these local challenges.

We won’t just treat your spots — we help you keep them from coming back.
