I had a TCA peel with a derm, but it was too deep and left me with chemical burns, at the end it left me with hypopigmentation all around my face. The hypopigmentation zones are not depigmented (they are just a bit lighter than my normal color). The procedure was done a year ago. Are they gonna be repigmented again? I still have black hair follicles, is that correct that phototerapy can help with repigmentation if there are still melanocytes in hair follicle? Thank you

Photodynamic therapy typically would not cause a skin cancer, sometimes other background lesions are eliminated with standard photodynamic therapy, actinic keratoses, for example, and may allow one to see an early basal cell that otherwise would not be observed.

Thanks for your question. You can definitely proceed safely with your PDT, especially if it has been a month since your neurotoxin and fillers were placed. Please see an expert and make sure you clear it with your dermatologist, but I think it will be fine. Best of luck!
Hello,
We are not certain if you are referring to Photodynamic Therapy with LED light or Aminolevulinic Acid with PDT for acne. If it's the former, we would suggest waiting a few days post-Botox treatment. If it's the latter, we suggest waiting until you are no longer flaking and red.
Take...
