Hey, It's been 21 days since I had Yag Eribium laser with I pixel done on my upper right lip. I did it to remove a small scar that was inbetween my vermillion border and upper lip. After the treatment, This area became hypo pigmented. It slightly improved during the last week, but my original purple/dark pink lip colour has not returned yet. Will my original lip tone return? Or does it look permanent? Please, be completely honest to me. My lips are one of my most valued body parts. Thank you
