Try whitening products - I used the Loreal series and the spots faded significantly. Use SPF 30 DAILY - also on days when there is no sunshine. Avoid the sun. Laser is another option, but best to get it done by a dermatologist and not in a beauty salon.

Thanks for the tips - the spots are actually on my face and look a bit like large freckles. I got them from when I was pregnant - would the tips (whitening products, etc.) work the same?

Some years back I was left with brown marks on my face from a 'staph' infection. A skin specialist prescribed a cream which bleached the dark marks. After a few month the dark spots had disappeared and my skin back to normal.
You should seek the advice of a skin specialist - don't bother with the whitening products you can buy over the counter. Get professional advice or you may end up doing more damage than good.

I was talking about spots on the face - this is were I used the whitening products. The once you get from a dermatologist are a lot stronger, I can't use them because of allergic reactions. I am thinking about laser at the moment.

I think IPL helps, i did have brown spots on my face but now it's much lighter after IPL.

Depending on the pigmentation - if its freckles and quite superficial, the IPL treatments work really well. If its hormonal and in the deeper layers of the skin then chemical treatments and peels are a better option followed up by a good corrective home skincare routine. eg Dr Murad. Either way - you need to stay out of the sun to avoid enhancing the pigmentation. A product that uses medical strength vitamin C is also recommened on a daily basis. If you want contacts for pigmentation removal I am happy to provide.

The liquid nitrogen on the face doesnt result in blisters like the ones on the hand. I was sceptical when my dermatologist told me this, but he was correct. Its got something to do with the amount of blood flow.
It's the best and the cheapest way to get rid of them, theyre gone immediately, not just 'faded'. Ive had it on my neck and arms too, wouldnt bother with IPL.
