What is the best way to resurface my African American skin, tighten and get rid of dark marks? (Photos)

Asked By:Diligent4002 in New York, NY

I keep hearing conflicting information about microneedling, radio frequency, lasers, Vi Peel. I have done some chemical peels (not Vi) but I’m looking for something with more dramatic results with the least chance of hypo or hyperpigmentation or scarring.
