My esthetician said I can do them every 2 weeks but that sounds like that's not enough time? Had my first one done yesterday , trying to clear some hyper pigmentation / melasma. Thanks

Answer: MLP spacing Thank you for your question.I usually recommend every 4-6 weeks, depending on the type of skin you have. At 2 weeks, that really isn't enough time to heal completely. Also MLP is not something that you need to do year round, patients usually do a series of 3-4 treatments and they are done after that. It is important to remember as well, that your skin becomes hypersensitive after these treatments. Be sure to stay out of the sun, wear a hat and sunscreen at all times during treatment because it can increase the amount of hyperpigmentation that you have. With that being said, I do not know that an MLP would be my go to treatment for hyperpigmentation anyhow. But without seeing you in person, I cannot make that determination. Good luck.

Answer: Microlaser peel and pigmentation Microlaser peels are great for improving the overall quality of your skin, but there are better treatments for pigmentation, that being a Broad Band Light (BBL) treatment. A BBL specifically targets the pigment and vascularity in your skin to drastically improve these discolorations. If you have issues with texture, fine lines and wrinkles, combine it with a Halo treatment. These are all treatments from the same laser company, Sciton.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers
