I went to a laser hair removal treatment on a June 23 and received 2nd degree burns from that treatment. After months of applying aloe vera and vitamin E to the wounds, I now have scarring on my stomach and bikini area. It is very unslightly and I've tried to use Mederma PM and what I was told was 8% hydroquinone cream to fade the scars with little result. I hope to confidently wear a bikini in the future, but I'm not hopeful.
I have been using Tretinoine 0.05% and strong Hydroquinone creams on my face to treat the hyperpigmentation caused by my acnes. I want to do a laser hair removal procedure on my face. Is there going to be a problem?
I think I was too tan when I had this done one week ago. Have been putting aquaphor on it. I also have hydroquinone and cloderm. I'm being vigilant with sunscreen and within the last week have seen little improvement on the lateral legs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There are tiny blisters that have pretty much gone down on the shins. The lesions aren't scabbed. They haven't had a chance too. I've been putting aquaphor
i had laser hair removal done about five days before i found out i was pregnant, im 4 weeks, also used hydroquine & tretinoin for 1 day on the dark spots in the bikini area, will it cause harm or effect my baby??
I just got burnt by laser hair removal a day ago. I'm putting triamcinolone ointment to help with the swelling, which has reduced significantly but there is still swelling. I have 2 dark spots on my vagina, and the burnt marks on my thighs. My therapist suggested Obagi hydroquinone 4% to help with the pigmentation and to lighten my vagina. Am I doing the right process to heal? Can obagi hydroquinone be used in this region? What else can I do to help decrease and help the damage?
Hydroquinone 8% worked well to lighten up hyperpigmentation on my cheeks caused my laser hair removal and the settings being too hot. I want to go for a second round since I saw results but have heard of the negative effects if overused. I've had a month break, would it be ok to try another couple months application?
Is it ok to use hydroquinone 4% in between appointments of laser hair removal? Is this drug safe to lighten the pubic area? If not what other topical treatments can be done for lightening the pubic area? What's the best product from reducing hyperpigmentation from acne scars or those left by pseudofolliculitis?
