Usually scabs from liquid nitrogen show up very shortly after treatment - within 1-2 days. You might just notice a darkening of the spots, though, which will still lead to successful lesion destruction. I would give the treatment 2-4 weeks to see if the spots lighten up, and if they don't seem any different go back and see your provider. If the provider did not freeze enough tissue they can be a little more aggressive the second time around. Best of luck!

Thanks for your question. You can have age or sun spots removed from the eyelids, but it is a tricky area. Be sure to see a board certified dermatologist and make sure the lesion appears to be benign before treating with any kind of laser or procedure. A q-switch laser with an...
I can only answer based upon POSSIBILITY and not PROBABILITY- oestrogen pills and formulations are notorious in contributing, but not causing melasma. Other contraceptive methods such as the POP and depo formulations have a 10 % chance of worsening patients who are predisposed to melasma. On t...
