Are laser facials okay to get if I have seborrheic dermatitis?

November 3, 2023
Asked By:anonymiss1 in Los Angeles, California

About a year and a half ago my derm assessed my skin condition and has prescribed me topical products to help with the flakiness and they've continued to work great. The SB isnt currently active on my face as before. However, i do have hyperpigmentation and some unevenness that id like to correct. Are laser facials okay considering i have/had seborrheic dermatitis and dark skin? Im not certain if lasers typically cause an adverse reaction.
