Hyperpigmentation Post Vbeam Laser? (photo)

worriedguy80May 10, 2013
So I had an aggressive vbeam laser treatment 6 weeks ago and I am left with brown hyperpigmentation that is very noticeable. Is this permanent or will this go away if I stay out of the sun and use "bleaching creams?" And what do you think the timeline is if it will go away? Thank you.

Purpura after VBeam laser treatments can occur and these usually fade with time. I would apply Bruisestick ointment to speed up the recovery. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
