Will Fraxel Leave my Skin Looking Darker?

September 22, 2008
Asked By:harvard in Canada

I saw a youtube video were a lady showed how much darker her skin looked even a month after treatment with Fraxel. I'm hispanic, and I have had other lasers for the treatment of brown spots. My skin is so sensitive to irritants that the lasers made the spots worse. I'm considering having Fraxel done on my face, but I'm a little scared that my skin will stay darker and the spots won't go away. How can I tell if Fraxel will make my skin darker? Is there a less risky treatment for removing brown spots?
