Asked By:Naffool in East Alton, IL

I did laser hair removal a year ago which caused hyperpigmentation. Last month, my doctor gave me a one month treatment course of dermamelan and the results were good, but i still have the pigments. Doctor advised me to do spectra laser now, one session a week for 6 weeks. My concern is: could spectra laser increase my hyperpigmention?
