I had red acne scars left on my cheeks after I started to have acne on my face since my teenage years. These red scars and also some brown hyper pigmentation stayed on my face for many years. My skin is hypersensitive and thinning. I wonder Which lasers are best suited for red acne scars and brown hyper pigmentation that appears following an acne lesion?

You didn't say how long ago your treatment was, but swelling and redness after laser treatment around the eye can last for up to 2 weeks. The skin around the eye is very thin and loose, so it takes very little to cause swelling. Elevate your head above your heart while sleeping, use cool...
While we cannot make recommendations based on photographs, the latest studies do show that the best treatment for blue temple veins is the new Nd: Yag laser, often done several times, with each treatment spaced at least 2 months apart.
JFRyan,Thanks for your question and sorry to hear about your side effect from the laser. Do not worry this will resolve. Please see your treating physician, as topical or injectable steroids may help this resolve quickly. Try gentle massage also in the meantime. Good Luck.
