Post Pigmentation after Fractional (Photo)

August 17, 2022
Asked By:Sincere5093 in Philippines

Hi everyone, I am 31 years olf female Asian with fair skin. I have old white strech marks on my abdomen. I have done some Fractional Laser on my tummy. Just want to ask is it normal to have Post Pigmentation after 1 session? I plan on doing then for 6 to 8 session every 4 weeks. My doctor's advise said that Post Pigmentation is normal after procedure. Just want to ask your opinion as other derm clinic I didn't experience this.

When can I use sunblock post fractional CO2 laser?
Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

Fractional laser with CO2 has variable depth. Avoidance of sun and application of a sunscreen and skin lightener is a must. In our office, we use Spectrase SPF and Melarase AM and PM after fractional laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
