Laser Done for Sun Damage Left Uneven Skin Tone. Will the Rest of the Dark Spots Fade Away? (photo)
I had a laser treatment done 11 days ago on my face to remove dun damage. After treatment some spots darkened & days later started to crust & fall off as I was told they would. The problem is that now those very dark spots have fallen off, instead of an even skin stone, I was left with 'white' (my natural skin tone) spots on my face. They are the most visible on my forehead which had the most sun damage. Will the rest of the sun damage continue to fade away or is another treatment needed? Thank u

Laser treatments for brown spots
From your photo it appears you had treatment to the brown area on your upper forehead with a laser beam that was circular. As the treatment areas did not overlap it results in a Swiss cheese appearance to the skin where there is treated skin surrounded by untreated skin. Another treatment will help to blend those margins and even the appearance out, but it may actually even take a third treatment. If your skin tones are in the Mediterranean/hispanic/asian category, using a bleaching...

Hello
Your picture does not give us a very clear out look on what your results look like. In our practice we tell recommend our patients to use bleaching cream like Hydro Q to help even out the rest of your skin and help face away the rest of the sun damage.
