Major Hypopigment Issues After Fraxel and Thermage

Not Worth It
Spent: $5,000 in Qatar

Over the last three years I have had one fraxel (first generation) treatment (about three years ago) and two thermage treatment (one of first generation machine and one on second generation), the last one being about 18 months ago.

I had some hyperpigmentation issues due to sun damage and some VERY bad chemical peels. 18 months after my last laser treatment and now (starting about a year ago) I have pea sized polka dots of hypopigmentation on my face. They are fairly prominent and seem to be spreading just a bit up my cheeks.

Actually, not sure the doctor had any clue what settings to use on such light skin. I have type 2 skin, almost type one but stronger. Not great experiences at all and the doctor didn't seem to listen to me at all.

Which treatment has more than likely caused my hypopigmentaion so I know to avoid them in the future? Thanks!
