Asked By:jeannikki3 in White Plains, NY

I'm a 30-year-old caucasian female and I got the HALO laser treatment done 5 weeks ago by a board-certified plastic surgeon. 3 1/3 weeks after the treatment I noticed hyperpigmentation on both of my cheeks. 1. Is the hyperpigmentation permanent? 2. Do I need to treat the hyperpigmentation or will it go away on its own? 3. If treatment is needed. Please advise on what type of treatment I should seek. 3. Lastly, what caused the hyperpigmentation? Was this due to improper technique?
