i am 24 years old and had some folliculitis under my stomach and down my bikini line i have brown/ dark skin i had my laser treatment done last week but my laser dr i think burned me with 1 degree burn because the skin got very dark and some blister came as well but only some i went back and he said its normal because its superficial, now its one week later and my crust is gone and its pink skin all over. will this leave any hypo/hyper pigmentaion? dr said it will fade in with my skin in 2weeks?

Your skin can be dryer for about 2-3 weeks following a peel of this sort, which will accentuate the fine lines. It takes time for the skin to remodel after a procedure of this sort. With a deep CO2 laser treatment such as the Lumenis Fractional CO2, it can take up to 3 months...
It
is normal to break out after Micro Laser Peel. It is an ablative treatment , so
during the healing process the skin can react differently, and cause
temporarily cystic acne.
We have had amazing results with the Dot Co2 Laser Resurfacing on darker pigmented skin. We are able to control the heat and depth with this technology. You can do research on the internet to view before and after photos using this laser on darker pigmented skin.
