The skin next to my nose has very enlarged pores which I know is common for everyone but it also happens to be on a very puffy mound of skin next to my naslolabial folds so it's really annoying and hard to cover up with make-up. I haven't found any skincare or getting regular facials helps.
Answer: LaseMD treatments to help improve skin texture Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Laser Resurfacing for Asian Skin Hello LK. You can absolutely get laser resurfacing with your skin type. The issue is that you can have prolonged hyperpigmentation as a result. We do not use C02 resurfacing as in Los Angeles, we have all skin types that need resurfacing. Erbium laser resurfacing is our choice (Sction Erbium) and we use it for all skin types including African American. With that said, some Asian patients can have prolonged PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). We usually resolve this with hydroquinone bleaching products, but the issue can persist for months sometimes. Best of luck.

Answer: Customize your treatment plan for best results I appreciate your question. While many lasers will not work as well on ethnic skin tones, there are treatments that will help you reach your goals. I offer RF microneedling for this purpose,which combines collagen production with deep skin tightening for a stellar result. I also feature more than 45 lasers in my practice that allow me to customize treatments to every patient and skin tone. I recommend you find a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with an extensive selection of lasers and ample experience in each one. After a personal assessment, you should be able to create a customized treatment plan that meets your needs beautifully.

Answer: Options for darker skin Thank you for your question. You are correct that most lasers put you at risk for pigment changes. However, microneedling combined with radio frequency such as Fractora minimizes this risk to such a degree that pigment changes aren’t seen in our office. Fractora penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen production and tightening while resurfacing from the inside out. It requires an operator with knowledge on using the correct needle type and frequency, but even the darkest skin can benefit from Fractora.
