How long does it take for brown spots/blotches to go away after a micro laser peel?

melissanptMar 5, 2014
I had a BBL treatment in combination with a micro laser peel 7 days ago. However, I now have more pigment than before treatment, and my skin is splotchy on my forehead. I can also see some white lines on my cheeks. The pigmented areas do not seem to be sloughing off, and the skin is smooth and healed. Is it possible this had made my skin worse? My skin heals very quickly, but have you seen the brown spots continue to slough-off after the skin seems healed?

A laser peel may not be an effective solution for you. Laser peel  can only look after superficial uneven skin due to sun damage. This helps you to get a good refreshing skin. However, in your case , I would recommend a Deep Fractional treatment By Fotona SpDynamis. This...
