I very much regret the expensive-no result-lots of downtime Morpheus 8 I also have dpn which no one knows how to treat so the spots higher on cheeks are dpn *also any dpn advice?!*

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

with the right skin care and a Cosmelan peel you will have fantastic skin.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels.

Hello realselfchart,
Sorry to hear about your experience with Morpheus8. 
I believe your best solution would be a combination of laser with chemical peel for the skin discoloration. 
I would start with something less invasive and see how your skin reacts, then work your way up. Both lasers and peels show progress as you do more, so you are in control of how many you need and want depending on how your skin reacts. 
I would also look into PRP treatments.

Best of Luck,
Dr. Nicole Eisenbrown

I have treated many patients with lasers who have been hyperpgimented as a side effect of the lasers. The best treatment is usually Cosmelan.  It takes two Cosmelan peels for the results of the pigmentation to be reversed.  Please consult an expert in Cosmelan and lasers for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
