Hello, Im Asian female age 46 with freckles, PIH, melasma , and sun spots. Ive tried Halo and BBL but its not cutting it all that great to lighten melasma. Ive been using kligmans creM since age 17 on my birthmark and sun spots , but its not working anymore on my melasma on cheeks which fit worse. Now, how is halo + BBL comparable to Pico lasers or KPT-532 laser for treatment of melasma in Asian skin? Which will worsen my skin or cause PIH !
I recently had a picofacial (Picosure focus laser treatment) to treat my PIH and melasma. My melasma has darkened by a couple of shades since the treatment. I don't see any reviews noting darkening of pigment after Picosure focus. Is this temporary? Should I continue with the second treatment and wait it out? I am a 30 y/o Caucasian female, no children and not taking BCP.
Have spots on forehead. Diagnosed as lentigo. I think it's PIH. Also have melasma above eyebrows and lip. Melasma has responded well after picosure and retin a. 5 treatments of picosure thus far with not much improvement. Started using triluma after 4th picosure treatment and it lightened quite a bit. After 5th spots disappeared for 3 weeks but came back.It happens after every Picosure treatment but always comes back. What should I do? Continue picosure? What should the aftercare be?
Hi, I have type IV-V skin with hyperpigmentation. I have tried using low fluence q switch nd yag laser treatments to remove the epidermal and dermal pigment with no improvement. Do you think the new picosecond lasers will be better at treating post inflammatory pih and melasma?
I had PicoSure done on my melasma underneath my eyes and it was awesome. Fast forward a month and a half, I did a second treatment of it. It left my skin darker, redder, and worse. FYI the same person did it both times. I visited another doctor to treat this, and Im about a week into a treatment of hydroquoine 8%. The PIH is still there, just slightly better. - Can any laser help my PIH/melasma now? Will my PIH ever fade? - Would you ask for your money back from the doctor who gave me PIH?
Hi I have done a number of Co2 laser sessions and I got PIH . My doctor uses topical creams along with aerolase laser. Is this laser better than picosure laser for this problem ? Which one gives faster /better results ? Thank you
I had a pico laser treatment on some dark acne patches. I'm dark skinned. After treatment i was left with some redness which turned into scabs. The scabs eventually fall off revealing fresh pink skin. The pink skin then begins to become pigmented and returns to exactly the same shade as before. What can i do to prevent this?
