Asked By:fazzou in Tunis, TN

I did laser co2 resurfacing 2 years ago in march 2017.the redness took timz to desappear and unfortunately become brown with sun. I was never told that the downtime of laser and strict sun avoidance would take more than 1 month. So after two months i was not tha diligent in putting the sunscreen, the redness in the cheeks become brown and now after 2 years o still have them. I regret the laser as i never thought it would be that risky. Is there any chance to remove these spots. Here are my photo.
