My skin looks rough. I do not have acne and my skin is pretty clear. I'm 26 but my skin looks old and dull. Idk if it's the discoloration or my dark circles but my skin does not look nice. Help! What procedure works on asian skin? I was told to stay away from CO2 for my skin tone. I'm looking to brighten my skin, even out skin tone and soften my skin. Maybe microneedling?
Answer: Resurfacing Asian skin Thank you for your question. Being Asian myself, Filipino, I’m acutely aware of the risks of treating Asian skin with lasers. In my view, the risk of hyperpigmentation is too great. I would avoid lasers completely. Microneedling is my treatment of choice. It can refreshen and rejuvenate your skin without the risk of hyperpigmentation. You still need to protect yourself from sun exposure. Maintaining your skin daily with some choice products should also be part of your overall treatment regimen. I also recommend developing a good relationship with a medical esthetician. All the best!

Answer: Best laser treatments for Asian skin tones Thank you for your question. You are correct that not all laser devices would be safe or effective for your skin tone. However, some pulse dye and pico-second lasers could be beneficial for rejuvenating Asian skin and reducing minor imperfections. RF microneedling is another good option and often my go-to for creating a more vibrant, healthy glow. The procedure creates micro-injuries in the skin, boosting collagen and other healing properties for fresher skin from the inside out. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in treating Asian skin tones to ensure your procedure is both safe and effective.

Answer: Pigmentation on dark skin types Halo HFL by Sciton would be what I would recommend in my clinic. Low risk for PIH (with the right settings) and is completely different than a CO2 laser. Halo could address texture and pigment in the session with little down time.

Answer: Best lasers for treating Asian skin Thank you for your question and photo. I have treated numerous Asian patients for a variety of skin concerns, including uneven texture and tone. I often recommend RF microneedling, since it produces very good results without the risk of hyperpigmentation. However, pulse dye lasers like the Vbeam and pico-second lasers like the PicoWay can also be safe and effective choices for Asian skin. I encourage you to find a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in treating ethnic skin tones like yours. Through an in-person assessment and frank discussion of your concerns and goals, your physician should be able to customize a treatment that achieves excellent results with minimal risk involved.

Answer: Facial Rejuvenation -- PRP/Microneedling, Laser (Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant, Halo/Erbium/Co2), cosmelan, Fractora/Morpheus For fa at home peels and mirorolling would be great for you now and regular maintenance, but halo or fraxel every 3-4 months does great for younger clients.
