Permanent Redness After MicroLaser Peel and ProFractional Combination

December 17, 2010
Asked By:Noel's Mom in Richland, WA

I had a MicroLaser Peel™ & ProFractional™ combo treatment on Sept. 13, 2010. Since then I have red streaks on my face and patches of red on my jaw, above my lips, and under my eyes. My doctor said that the surface of my skin is fine, but the redness is underneath at a vascular level. He has given me iS CLINICAL products to use and performed three FotoFacials to no avail. Why did this happen and what can I do now to get an even colored complexion? Your input is appreciated!

Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

I firmly believe that lasers should be the very last resort for the treatment of melasma. The cornerstone of melasma management is avoidance of hormonal factors (if possible) and the use of high factor spf 3-4 times per day. This includes hats and tints. Secondly we use fading agents, such as...
