What can I do to treat pigmentation after co2 laser? (photo)

There are topical creams available that contain ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, vitamin C, or kojic acid. These ingredients can help to lighten and even out pigmentation over time. However, it's important to consult a dermatologist or skincare professional before using any topical products, as they can recommend the most appropriate ones for your specific situation.

Pico laser (picosecond laser) is a type of laser that emits ultra-short pulses of energy. It can target pigment in the skin without causing excessive heat, making it a suitable option for treating pigmentation. Pico lasers are known for their effectiveness in treating various pigmentation issues, including post-laser pigmentation. Consult with a dermatologist or laser specialist to determine if pico laser treatment is suitable for your specific pigmentation concern.

Depending on the severity and type of pigmentation, your provider might recommend a combination approach. This could involve a series of treatments such as pico laser sessions, chemical peels, or other light-based treatments to address the pigmentation from different angles.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
