I'm 36 years old Hispanic,I have dark spot in my cheeks & forehead due to sun damage/hormonal imbalance (malesma). I've tried microdermoabration for a year combining w/5 photofacials and that helped to make it look better but I could never get rid of the dark spots. Now I'm trying sublative rejuvenation (Ematrix) I've already done 4 sessions and my skin looks better but dark spot are still there. I'm tired of spending money and time, is micro laser peel the answer to my problems?

Answer: Melasma does not always respond to photofacials
If you received a burn from the laser treatment and it's now pink, you may be able to see a gradual improvement as your skin heals. This can take a few weeks, however. In the meantime, make sure to keep the area covered from the sun and moisturized.
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.
