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?
The most imporatnt thing is to do a test area. If that area does not hyperpigment, the rest should be OK. Too much redness after the procedure is not a good thing. For darker skin patients, it's very important to go slow with low settings. That usually means more sessions for the removal of unwanted hair.
I am thinking of having Lightsheer Diode laser. I am a bit confused because some people have told me that the Lightsheer Diode laser does not work on fine hair?
Is this true? I want my whole face lasered where I have fine black hairs and coarse hairs. Shall I treat only the dark thick hairs and not the fine black hairs?
The thickness matters less than color - lightsheer laser works very well on dark hair. Make sure not to tweeze or wax before the procedure.
