Hello! Are the brown marks on my legs (from picking at ingrown leg hairs) permanent, or will they fade with time? Also, would microdermabrasion help? Thank you! Also, I will be wearing shorts this summer - will sunscreen be enough to minimize damage from the sun?

Answer: Melarase vs. microdermabrasion for skin discoloration
Direct sun exposure after a skin treatment puts you at risk for hyperpigmentation. I would suggest twice daily application of Melarase creams to help reduce your risk. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thank you for your question. It is normal to have slight redness after treatments however this redness should only last a few hours. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for treatment options.
Thank you for your question. This is the result of over exfoliating the skin, not a burn. Unfortunately your skin needs time to heal. There are medical grade skin products that can help the process. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to find the right skin care.
