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.
