I had developed hyperpigmentation from co2 laser ...which bleaching cream and sunscreen I should use??

Thank you for your question.  Swelling is to be expected following CO2 laser resurfacing, especially when the treatment is a more aggressive one which would be done for deeper lines/wrinkles.  If you are having a problem with your recovery, contact your physician who performed the...

Both treatments complement one another. Application of a Jessner peel to prep your skin for a co2 laser would be a good option. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I would suggest a non-ablative skin tightening treatment instead of fractional co2 for the knees. Options include Ultherapy and skin tightening with Yag laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

We typically use Melarase creams after fractional co2 for the face in order to even out skin tone and prevent hyperpigmentation. These options are excellent for skin rejuvenation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. I try to avoid unnecessary creams after CO2 resurfacing as they can induce a negative outcome due to the preservatives present in open skin. I hope this helps!

Proper wound care and application of a cortisone ointment may be helpful. We would begin you on Melarase creams and Replenish Retinoid Cream to help reduce the chance of scar visibility. Speak to your surgeon. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
