Dermablate full skin resurfacing for melasma and under eye fatty deposits - am I a good candidate? (photos)

Question

Hello , I am 55 yo Asian female. I have a melasma and under eye small fatty deposits. Am I a good candidate for dermablate full skin resurfacing ? Thank you

Rebecca Gelber, MD · Answer

Thanks for doing your research and please proceed with precaution. Resurfacing of any sort, but particularly fully ablative comes with very serious risks of hyperpigmentation in Asian skin and patients with melasma. Darker skin types can also end up with irreversible hypopigmentation.

Many patient find that a surgical blepharoplasty has similar or easier healing and far less risk of complications - please get a few consultations with specialists in Asian skin and eyelid concerns.
