How to Minimize Hyperpigmentation and Scabs from Lighsheer Laser Treatment I am South Asian with light brown skin. Used lightsheer laser on legs a few days ago and they are covered with pinpoint scabs and treated area has darkened (a few shades darker) so have vertical lines on legs! Have huge rectangular scabs in bikini area.

Using hydrocortisone cream to reduce the redness around scabs, but worried about hyperpigmentation as I used IPL on face once and was left with a mark which took a year to fade after scab fell off. Can I use cocoa butter or hydroquinone on legs?

A: lightshear

Recommendation for treatment should be done after examination. Seek a medical professional, Dermatologist or plastic surgeon for treatment.

Suggested Settings for the LightSheerDuet for Fitzpatrick Skin Type 3? It would be nice to have an idea of the general guidelines or range (fluence/pulse duration/No. of pulses) per skin type (Fitzpatrick skin type I to V)to make sure you are not getting ripped off as a custumer... My friend was treated with a 10J/cm2 + 20 or 25ms and she is not as dark as I am (My skin type is III)... I ma no doctor but I am pretty sure she will not get any result with that... Thank you for clarifying... :-)

A: Light shear

The setting on the laser is NOT YOURS. It is for the DOCTOR. If it is a technician that is administerng the treatment, find a doctor who will give you the time and a good result.

Settings are dependat on skin type and hair characteristics, and color

Will Lightsheer Diode Laser Interact with Pigment in Juvederm? I asked this question before.However I have an additional question.The main reason why I'm worried about getting a Diode Laser treatment on a location where I'm injected with Juvederm is because I heard that JUVEDERM has a GREY COLOR, and because hair removal lasers are focusing the energy on pigment/dark colors.I'm afraid too much energy will go towards the grey Juvederm and damage my skin,or somehow interacts with the grey Juvederm.

A: Juvederm

juvederm has no pigment. Lightshear diode wave length is absorbed by MELANIN pigment.

Juvederm looks blue-gray when injected very superficial , light refracts and that looks blue-gray .

it is not affected by the light shear
