Still have marks on my face because of this

It has been a year and I still have marks on my face because of this. It's terrible.
There are still dark marks on my face. I have been using 8 percent hydroquinone to get rid of the dark marks and it's still there after a year! Imagine if my nurse only gave me 2 percent hydroquinone then it would take me YEARS to get rid of the dark patches. My skin is uneven and it looks terrible. You can tell where I got the laser done because of uneven patches. There's still holes too.
DO NOT DO THIS LASER. LISTEN TO ME!!!!! I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Oh God, I really do.

Still healing

The staff to where I got the laser from are really nice and helping me heal. This laser ruined my face but the staff understand what I am going through.
I just really HATE this laser.
To answer questions:
No, I am not a sun person. After this laser, I barely went outside and always wore a hat. Inflammatory hyper pigmentation is how your skin reacts after a laser treatment. Sadly, I am one of those people who are very prone to hyper pigmentation. Google "Inflammatory hyper pigmentation after laser" and DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF! IT'S A HUGE RISK!!!!!!!!!!
Overall, my scars improved 10 percent! JUST 10 PERCENT! IT'S NOT WORTH.
I have included pictures. I refuse to show my face. I cry every night ever since I got this laser done. Also, I don't want any conflicts with the office I got this laser at. I really like them. I just HATE the laser.

Hello. Are you using a high strength hydroquinone? This will make the resolution and removal of the dark spots much quicker.

Im sorry your unhappy with your results! :( I had really bad acne scars and ended up having 4 treatments. Im pretty happy with the results... maybe you need a few more treatments? How many did you have? How is your healing coming along? Where did you have your treatment done?

I am going through exactly what you are going through. It feels like the worst thing that ever happened to me. It feels quite surreal. I am now at month three and the doctor wanted to do more treatments but I said no.

What do you think happened? why do you have dark/orange spots? Did you go out in the sun?Did it help with you acne scars? What was your down time? Do you feel like you look worse than before? I thought the only rick of this type of laser is infection or hyper-pigmentation if you get sun?

So sorry to hear:( so like the other person asked...it did absolutely nothing for indented scars? Mostly hypoerpigmentation damage? I was considering this laser but the damage sounds so risky! I hope you heal asap and find something to help with the spots

Do you think it's because they where not skilled
February 21, 2016
sorry for the late reply. No it isnt. It's just the way my skin is. It's a risk and sadly, it didnt work out in my favor
February 22, 2018
I am so sorry this happened.i was going to have this done for some wrinkles and unevenness. Was it the siton laser? And what was the setting? Thank you Lana

Years later (just recently) my sister got me onto Arbonne skin care (she uses it twice a day (the whole kit of products together - the RE9 ADVANCED as well as the cellular renewal mask and nightly resurfacing pads, and I swear, her skin looks AMAZING!), I've only been using the products once a day (as I've been sick and in hospital with Crohn's) and I've noticed a reduction in my pigmentation already after a few months. I do think the results are much faster and more noticeable if you do the regime twice a day - looking at my sister's skin ;)
Just thought this might help you & you might like to try those products. Take care and I hope you enjoy happier times soon! x
