Can a chemical peel and Erbium laser be done together on face?

Tania GhoshNov 4, 2017

There may not be any way to completely resolve this in a month.   Hyperpigmentation on the legs is slow to resolve.   Legs do not heal like other areas of the body.  Depending on the location and type of pigmentation, topicals (like you are using), light chemical peels or laser treatments coul...
