Bumps and hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal (Photo)

May 17, 2022
Asked By:skylee30 in Los Angeles, California

it's been almost 8 months after I got laser hair removal at a Medical Spa. All was going well until 3 weeks after my last 8th session when I got bumps and hyperpigmentation. My Derm said I had developed Keratosis Pilaris on my lower legs which I never had before. I'm not looking for your opinion on treatment options to manage KP. But I'm looking for your expert opinion on how could KP develop after Laser Hair removal. Like I said I only got this after my last 8th LHR treatment.
