I am 32 years old. A doctor told me he could "buff out" my marionette lines using a laser. Can lasers be used in just 1 area? It seems like I'm younger than the typical patient who has laser resurfacing. As a second part to my question, would it be beneficial to have my full face treated as a means of promoting new skin growth (as a preventative measure- like a peel) if I have the time, money, and inclination to do so?

In all likelihood, once the bleaching cream is stopped, the sunspots will return. Additional treatments for age spots include IPL/Photofacials, fractionated laser resurfacing, and q-switched lasers. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon...
Most excisional surgeries for birthmarks will have some form of a scar. It is best to minimize the scar with careful wound closure, wound care, and postoperative scar therapy. We advise patients to use Plato's Scar Serum post therapy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
