Best method to remove brownish (iron) skin staining due to sclerotherapy?

A lot of options can be used to treat hyperpigmentation, I am not sure the pico laser is the best treatment for this but would not be a bad option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Both the q Switch and the picoway lasers help with hemosiderin staining. Sometimes topical creams such as dermaka and licorice extract topically will help.  Most importantly, a large portion of staining will spontaneously resolve over about one year.

Thank you for your question. There are various treatments and lasers that
remove skin pigmentation or discoloration like the PicoSure Laser Treatment and
the Alexandrite Laser, just to name a few. It’s best to have an in-person
consultation so that a qualified physician can help decide which laser
treatment is best for you.

Best method to remove brownish staining due to sclerotherapy? I would recommend Q-switched lasers and to return to the doctor that did the sclerotherapy on you. This should work well.

Thank you for your question.I have experience with Q switched lasers and they work veery well for hemosiderin pigment which is the underlying cause for PIH with sclerotherapy.The use of two topical cremes is advocated immediately after sclerotherapy to reduce hyperpigmentation (see link below) along with an oral supplement called Scler-X. This is a PIH Relief Complex.Dr. Karamanoukian
