Can anyone suggest an exact treatment for my post acne hyperpigmentation problem? (Photo)

Question

Am fed up with these dark spots in face. pls have a look at the photo. Awaiting experts response. I consulted a dermetologist and he said sessions of Laser toning using Qs NdYag laser will help for my Post Acne Hyperpigmentation. Please suggest is that works or fractional co2 laser or any other will work.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

I see small areas of PIH but I also see patches of pigment called melasma. You need to be treated with retin a, hydroquinone, and chemical peels. Melasma is more common in females and is controllable but cured. Sun exposure cause worsening of the melasma and strict sun protection is needed.
