I am pale skinned-so 1 on the fitzpatrick scale and in the past chemical peels have given me post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I have a little left and redness, so I was hoping to get BBL. One dermatologist told me he thinks I would probably get hyperpigmentation from this laser due to this. Another says, I would be a good canditate. I wondered opinions on this? Thanks!

BBL HERO should be performed prior to RF microneedling to optimise results
Skin becomes red and sensitive after RF microneedling
Ideally I would do the two treatments 2 weeks apart, but it is OK to combine them if the client's schedule is tight
Hi, these settings look to be reasonable for your skin type
bad skin texture and facial volume/ fat loss is not expected from BBL
perhaps there might be another issue at play here
please consult your provider and consider a comprehensive health screening
Hi!
This is difficult to answer without seeing your photos before and after but some reasons why you may not have seen the results you desire might be
1) spots are moles and not freckles2) need more BBL treatments3) continued sun exposure with new freckles forming
If the clinic has a picolaser...
