Which type of laser would minimize the appearance of 5 years old under eye pigmentation after microneedling? (photos)

Question

since microneedling about 5 years ago, I got this pigmentation under my left eye and have tried all kinds of creams - obagi system, hydroquinone plus retinol, other combination like azelaic acid and arbutin Nothing has worked. Looks like it is deeper in my dermis and wondering if any laser suitable for brown skin will work? Appreciate suggestions.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .
