Question

Hello I was treated with the Cutera Excel HR laser treatment on a deep nose vein that I had. The laser got rid of the vein but it created a bugbite which caused a leakage. At first I thought it was hyperpigmentation, but it turned out to be dead skin. They say no laser treatment can fix that but microdermabrasion can. Are they right?

I can tell you that microdermabrasion is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation and dead skin. Microdermabrasion works by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, which can help to promote the growth of new, healthy skin.

It's possible that the professionals you spoke with are correct in suggesting microdermabrasion for your situation. However, given the complexity of your situation and the potential for further complications, it would be best to seek a second opinion from a dermatologist or a skin health professional. They can provide a comprehensive examination and suggest the most appropriate treatment based on your specific needs and health history.

Remember, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
