SkinPen with PRP bruising caused Hemosiderin staining. What laser would help the best? (photos)

The best treatments for capillary issues/bruising are vascular lasers such as pulsed dye laser, Excel V, Aerolase, Venus Versa IPL, Laser Genesis or Yellow laser. The settings are determined on a per case basis, so it is best to consult with an expert to determine what will work best for you. We often combine vascular lasers with non-ablative fractional lasers such as Clear + Brilliant or Venus Viva for better results. I would suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. The PRP microneedling procedure can be great for improving the texture and tone of skin. It sounds like you developed persistent bruising after the procedure that did not heal with time. It's true that hydroquinone will not resolve this as it is not a hyperpigmentation problem. I believe in your case the best treatment will involve a laser. My Aerolase laser has been very helpful in resolving post procedure bruising however, time is of the essence. Reach out to a provider with laser services and get a consultation. Best wishes.... Dr. King
