Hyper and hypo pigmentation skin, my skin therapist suggested me to have 2 micro needling and 2fraxel refine. Plus Obagi nuderm system home care products . She gave me 4%hydroqionu pre-treat the skin before the Fraxel. Is this a good plan for me?
Answer: Hyper & Hypopigmentation--Lasers (Fraxel, Co2/Erbium, VIVA, Intensif); Microneedling/PRP, Fillers (Bellafill); Subcision; Punch This needs a combination approach of lasers and microneedling. It should be tailored by an expert. Please get a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recommend doing cosmelan peel, melapeel, and clear & brilliant laser treatments to help treat this Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: You did not mention your diagnosis but it looks like you are developing melasma. Thank you for your question! You did not mention your diagnosis but it looks like you are developing melasma. It is tricky to treat melasma since there is no cute for it, just treatments that improve look of your skin. Some lasers trigger even worse outcome. Chemical peels are safe treatment for the beginning while I would suggest you do be careful with laser treatment. It is important that treatments are spaced out enough. Obagi nuderm system is good home care regimen. Best of luck!

Answer: Melasma and Scars I do a ton of Fraxel laser in my office but Fraxel does not appear to be the laser that would be best for you. You appear to have melasma and scarring. I would opt for chemical peels with hydroquinones for pigmentation or Cosmelan with V-Beam for redness. Please consult a board certified dermatologist. Best, Dr. Green
