Would laser resurfacing work to clear hypopigmentation? Is there a better solution?

Hypopigmentation can be partially corrected in some cases with fractional co2 laser. The process accelerates post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. Hypopigmentation is when there is a loss of pigment in the skin. If this is what you are experiencing then Laser resurfacing along with a few other treatment options can be helpful. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a treatment plan that is best for you.

Dear Bondurant22,Examples of the most
common skin issues that are treated with laser skin resurfacing are as follows:
removal of facial wrinkles, removal of deep lines around the mouth and eyes,
treatment of facial scars, treatment of scarring related to acne, treatment of
areas of uneven skin pigmentation, removal of tattoos, and treatment of
precancerous skin conditions.Please seek a board certified facial plastic surgeon to receive the best care, treatment and procedural ability available. Sincerely,Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS
