Would it be a bad idea to try using the Picosecond Laser Pen at home to remove some hemosiderin stains I have from bruising?

Asked By:crace13 in Cambridge, MA

I've gotten some bruises in the same place that resulted in light hemosiderin staining. I want to get rid of it, and I saw that the Q-switched ruby laser was the best idea, but treatments are fairly pricy. I'm somewhat wary of doing a laser treatment on myself. Should I try it anyway, or does it seem too risky? What are some other options to get rid of the staining?
