I had fraxel laser done about two months ago. I did not have any pigmentation before the treatment just a few deep scars. After the treatment my skin got 2 shades darker, I had light brown skin before the treatment.
Answer: Melarase creams vs. Triluma RX In my practice, I try to stay away from these combination regimens, as cortisones are non-selective inhibitors of melanocytes. I would recommend my patients to start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for the pigmentation.

Answer: Fraxel laser and Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation NYC It sounds like you were not the proper candidate for Fraxel for your acne scars. eMatrix is better for patients with darker skin since it is "color blind" and avoids hyperpigmentation. I would not consult a dermatologist who specializes in lasers for possible bleaching creams and chemical peels to help resolve this PIH. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Triluma after Fraxel This is a good treatment for PIH. This will occur in darker skin types and I pretreat with hydroquinone in most cases. In lighter skin, it is related to sun exposure after treatment. It should reverse with treatment. I usually limit Triluma to about 6-8 weeks.
