Answer: Pigmented acne scars and Laser Genesis Hi there, As a skin type IV patient I think a combination of treatments will be beneficial. Laser Genesis, TCA peels, clarisonic and brightening facials are a possible treatment regimen. A thorough in office evaluation for your specific scars and skin type would be best.Best wishes

Answer: Laser Genesis Hello and thank you for your question. Laser genesis is an excellent treatment for pigmentation and mild scarring. It is not a treatment that will give you results quickly, but rather your skin improves over time. This treatment has virtually no downtime, I recommend 6-9 treatments every 4 weeks. It is also important to be using products at home in conjunction with receiving these in-office procedures to achieve the greatest improvement. Hope this helps, Dr. S.

Answer: Laser Genisis for Hyperpigmentation and Acne scars Yes, with multiple treatments, laser genesis will reduce and eliminate hyperpigmentation that we often see from acne scarring. Laser Genesis is one of a few lasers, which is safe for skin types IV. I believe it is crucial to undergo a thorough evaluation by your dermatologist to see if combination therapy with chemical peels, bleaching agents and/or laser genesis would be an optimal treatment choice. Best, Dr. Kate Kleydman.
