Fraxel Re:Store is an excellent laser for darker skins, including brown and Asian skin. Because dark skin is more easily discolored than pale skin, we use the laser at a lower setting. I have had extensive experience treating melasma and hyperpigmentation on Asian skin with Fraxel. Please find a board-certified dermatologist who has successfully used laser therapy with your skin type before.
Hi Lina,Fraxel re:store is safe to use in all skin types. In Asian skin treated for melasma (brown pigmented area on your cheek), the settings need to be low, and the time interval between treatments need to be longer.It is also important to discuss with your treating physician the use of skin bleaching cream before and after your treatments.Good luck and be well.Dr. P

I have seen wonderful results in many of the Asian patients that I have treated with the Fraxel.
