Laser Mole Removal - Prevent Hyperpigmentation with Vitamin C serum?

April 17, 2017
Asked By:meyer2008 in Los Angeles, CA

I recently found a product called Vitamin C Serum (20% Hyaluronic Acid) on Amazon. I want to use this product on my face. I had several small benign moles removed from my face with a CO2 laser. The spots are still pink/red and I noticed just one spot looking apparently darker than the others. I was wondering if it's okay to use this product on my face to fight the risk of hyper pigmentation. Will this also help heal these red/pink spots any faster? I am currently 3 weeks post treatment.
