How long can I safely use hydroquinone as pre-condition for laser treatments?
bls_Sep 29, 2020
I'm an African American (Fitzpatrick type 5) and my aesthetician recommends a series for 6 Clear+Brilliant Original treatments for rejuvenation. I'm prescribed hydroquinone to pre-condition my skin for 4 weeks before my treatment. Since my treatments are spaced 1 month apart, do I have to use hydroquinone for 6 months straight? I heard using hydroquinone for too long can cause ochronosis? I need a second opinion on this. Thank you.
