Hypopigmented upper right lip (Vermillion border) after Yag Eribium with I Pixel Laser.

Question

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

Its difficult to tell from your picture but it sounds like post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Darker shades of skin are more susceptible to this. In most cases it does eventually resolve. it may also be Vitiligo which can be indiced in susceptible individuals after any kind of trauma - including laser treatment. I would strongly recommend that you see a board certified dermatologist for assessment of this and any future laser treatments.
