Pigmentation loss due to laser resurfacing in darker skin. Will my skin turn back to its natural color?
TmoriaJun 21, 2017
I have gotten several Fractional Resurfacing Treatments (Matrix RF). After six weeks, I still have areas of my face that appear lighter than the rest of my face and body. It appears as if there is a reduced amount of pigment in those areas. The areas also turn red more easily than the rest of my skin. Will I regain my natural skin color? I have NO interest in any form of bleaching such as hydroquinone, as my skin is naturally brown. I simply want to get my melanin/pigment back in those areas.
