Will Erbium Laser Around Mouth and Undereyes Cause Uneven Pigmentation?

June 15, 2011
Asked By:diane42 in Yazoo City, Mississippi

I am wanting to do fully ablative laser (medium to deep)under the eyes and about the mouth only. I was thinking I might not have to be put to sleep if I have it done deep in just those areas. Have a microlaser full face at the same time. My question is with having just the under the eyes and above the mouth cause it to alway look a different color in those areas. That is why I am wanting to have the microlaser full face hoping it would help blend in any differents in color. What do you think?
