Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Keratosis pilaris rarely responds to laser hair removal, I find that peels are best for textural improvements.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Karol A. Gutowski, MD, FACS · Answer

I would recommend a chemical peel or Dermasweep treatment to provide advanced exfoliation.  More than 1 treatment might be necessary for optimal results.

Morris Westfried, MD · Answer

Keratosis pilaris does not respond to laser . It does respond partially to ex opal urea cream, essential fatty acids such as flaxseed powder and zinc
