Pigmentation spot - Picolaser, OPL or chemical peeling? (Photo)
April 4, 2025
Asked By:carolinebloe in Frostproof, Florida, Verenigde Staten
Hello, I have a question regarding the removal of a pigment spot. I have skin type III, am half-Filipina, and tend to have freckles and light acne scars. The first doctor said that she wouldn’t do the Picolaser, because of my skintype. She said that the results will be unpredictable and recommended a chemical peeling. Doctor nr. 2 said he would try the OPL- Light. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
