How to treat hyperpigmentation after KTP Laser Treatment?
I had a KTP Laser Treatment 10 weeks prior which has left some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, red, scratch-like depressions where I blistered ( the area she treated for capillaries), and some brown marks which were originally faint hyperpigmentation marks. I have a reunion and wedding to attend in 7 weeks and want to improve my skin. I have access to Fraxel Restore or IPL photorejuvenation. I am so nervous to touch my face again, but am also so upset at the way my skin looks. Any advice on PIH treatment would be appreciated.
