Hello, I’ve had freckles my whole life, I wanted to get a procedure that would lighten them along with helo with fine lines and also a minor scar I have on my cheek. I’m between the co2 laser I Feel it’s more cost Davy to do the ablative since it’s a one and done but I’m not sure my skin is mature enough for somethig as string so I was told the fractional. My question basically is which procedure is best for pigmentation? And if it’s worth doing ablative to save money and time
Answer: Hyperpigmentation -- Peels (Cosmelan, AERIFY), Lasers (C+B, Aerolase, Genesis), RF Treatments, Skin Care, Hydroquinone Hyperpigmentation of any kind needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly,; lasers like Clear + Brilliant, Aerolase or Laser Genesis; radiofrequency like Venus Viva; and constant skin care and sun protection. Bimonthly facials with SilkPeel DermalInfusion are essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement. Hypopigmentation will need more of an evaluation and possibly additional lasers to get improvement. I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recommend doing a light CO2 laser. Pair with a chemical peel to enhance results Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

Answer: Co2 laser is not a technology specified to treat hyperpigmentation. If hyperpigmentation is your main concern, I do not recommend Co2. There are other lasers such as PICO laser that would help you with hyperpigmentation, since this is a technology specially design to treat that. The combination between laser, at home topical treatment, and medication can give great outcomes!
