Discoloration on upper lip due to threading. Could laser hair removal be a solution?

Hyperpigmentation can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, Cosmelan and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and posting photos. It looks as though you are of a darker skin type or have more melanin in your skin, therefore I would recommend  ND:Yag laser hair removal it treats darker skin without the risk of burning. It also appears that you have hyperpigmented from the threading. I would also recommend treating the skin with Hydroquinone or brightening serum or cream.

Thank you for your question and posting a picture.  It looks ands sounds like you have Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). First, if your hair is dark, I would recommend of course of LHR with a laser and not an IPL.For the hyperpigmentation, we have been very successful using the PicoSure laser with the FOCUS and / or Flat Lenses eliminating hyperpigmentation with a series of treatments.  FOCUS lens treatments have the extra benefit of reducing fine lines, wrinkles and scars.  This is one of our go to treatments for patients older than 40 and worried about the signs of aging.  This laser is safe for all skin types.  Start with sunscreen every day!  Once you have treated your hyperpigmentation to your satisfaction, you will probably need a follow treatment every 6 to 12 months depending your level of re-pigmentation.  Best of luck.
