What are these bumps? Would a laser like Halo take care of them? (Photo)

Question

I have recurring bumps of different shapes on my brow. Been to 2 derma and neither can tell me exactly what they are. I have been using retin A with no results as well as the skin classic machine which left me with tiny red marks. Would a laser like halo take care of them?

Thanks for your question. It's hard to tell in the picture and you should definitely seek another consult from someone who specializes in laser treatments. If these bumps in person look like they have a tiny divot or 'belly button' in the center, they are probably sebaceous hyperplasia which is quite common. Raised benign lesions really need to be planed down with a full field (complete treatment of the bump). Halo is fantastic, but is fractional, only making holes in the surface. My typical laser treatment is customized to treat all of the patients concerns, so I often start with BBL for color and antiaging, then use focused full field spot treatment of things like your forehead or other bumps and lines and then smooth out everything with Halo. That being said, I can't say that is the right thing for you without seeing you in person - best of luck to you!
