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: Chemical peels - Vi peel You did not mention your diagnosis but it looks like you are developing melasma. It is tricky to treat melasma since there is no cure for it, just treatments that improve the overall appearance 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. I advise you to look into Vi Peel. It is important that treatments are spaced out enough. Obagi nuderm system is good home care regimen. Good 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
