Can the Pigment in a Mole Return After a Fotofacial?
I had a photofacial last month & the light took away pigment from a beauty mark. I was told the color could come back in time, it is still there just much lighter, I am very disappointed & was wondering if it will come back & if so the length of time it takes for pigment to return.

Funny about that.
Murrphy's law states that any thing that can go wrong will go wrong. Yes photofacial can remove pigment from a mole, kill eyebrow hairs, burn the skin causing permanent "tiger stripping." It is one of the few machines I keep in my office(Lumenis Vaculight HR) because, properly used it continues to provide great help to patients for many issues. "Properly used" is the rub. Improperly used, the machine is hell. In my office, only I operate...
