I wanted to lighten some freckles and pigmentation on top my lip caused by coloring my mustache hairs blond 1 year ago. When the doc passed the laser on my face she said had to go deep on some of the freckles & top of lip as the were darker.It felt like she burned me deep on those parts. After 8 days the old dead skin fell off without problems but now its after 1month post &the parts she went deep look like there are there to stay. I went to the doc and all she keeps saying that it will go away
Ive been struggling with dark spots since a preteen, and I have no idea what my skin looks like without all these dark spots on my face. I've tried VI chemical peels, BHA/AHA at home lighter chemical peels (Dr. Dennis Gross and Bliss Products) with only smoother skin, but not doing much for the scarring. I was also prescribed Azelaic Acid but it does more for the texture than my hyperpigmentation. At this point, I want to explore laser treatments, so if not Fraxel, then what would work?
Hi Doctors! First of all, I know an in-person consultation with a board certified doctor is what I need but I'm seeking advice on which procedures to research. I had a facelift two years ago along with an upper Bleph and I'm satisfied with those procedures. I will be 58 in two days and as a gift to myself, I wish to address my pigmentation/dark spots, fine lines, loose skin (perhaps facelift was not tight enough) and under eye area. I'll be looking in either the Boston or Miami areas.
My skin peeled after 72 hours and feels like it might peel again. I had the fractional CO2 laser treatment on my neck and face 72 hours ago and most of the skin on my face has peeled already. My skin is still very red and I still see many dark spots on the new skin. The new skin is starting to feel tight, like it might peel again. Do some patients experience a double peeling of their skin? Will the spots fade?
i had co2 ebrium laser two years ago for treatment of old stretch marks. After initial treatment i had a lot of dark brown spots on the back of my legs and the buttock area. 19 months in of using obagi and tretonoin i still have discolouration. The spots have got lighter but are still there. On my left leg i have a big patch of reddish/white blotches, looks like 'cornbeef skin', and have dark red patches that have seemed to taken up home in the tracks of my stretch marks on my right.
