How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My skin 11 years later

I am now 50. I’ve never managed to get rid of my hyperpigmentation. I now use medical grade SPF 50+ lotion called Actinica which I order from Europe. I apply this year round and when I go to the beach I always wear a hat. People do tell me my skin looks good for my age, but since the CO2 laser resurfacing I’ve done several sessions of microdermabrasion, as well as several sessions of PRP micro needling. I believe the latter were what made the difference longer term but it’s been five years since I did it, and I’m overdue for more.

Here's my skin six years later

I've been keeping religiously out of the sun by wearing a hat (even when swimming, even in winter) and using a custom-mixed 8% hydroquinone cream I get from my derm. This is not a treatment, it is a lifestyle. I know it's only a matter of not being vigilant for a short while before my skin is back to square one. This sucks - let it be a lesson to everyone.

Final conclusion: this was a big mistake

I want to show everyone the state of my skin today - huge brown blotches. I recognize their location as the areas that were particularly raw during treatment. My conclusion is that the laser made my hyperpigmentation worse and added to it where it burnt my skin.
