White Under Eye Rings from CO2 Erbium Laser?

February 12, 2009
Asked By:HKKitty

Ten years ago, I was treated with a CO2 Erbium Laser on the upper half of my face (from forehead to under the eyes). I now have white "rings" under my eye area. It looks as if I have marks from sitting under the sun wearing large sunglasses. Did I get it from the CO2 Erbium Laser? What kind of treatment can even out the skin tone on my face? Thank you for your advice!
